👍 Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Fall-Apart Tender: The slow cooking method ensures that your pork becomes incredibly tender. After 7-9 hours of cooking, the meat literally falls apart when you touch it with a fork.
Perfect For Meal Prep: This recipe makes a large amount of meat that stays good in the fridge for several days. You can cook it once and have delicious, carnivore friendly meals ready for the entire week.
Simple Ingredients: Unlike many pulled pork recipes that call for sugary sauces and countless ingredients, this one only needs pork, broth, and basic spices. You probably already have most of these spices in your kitchen.
Rich In Nutrients: Pork is packed with important nutrients like protein, B vitamins, zinc, and iron.
✨ Recipe Ingredients
To make the carnivore pulled pork in the crock pot, you will need:
- 4 lb Pork Butt (2kg)

- 1 tablespoon Pepper
- 3/4 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 3/4 tablespoon Onion powder
- 3/4 tablespoon Chili powder

Step 1
Place all the seasonings in a small bowl. Mix well.

Place the pork in the slow cooker. Rub it with the spices.

💡Tips
1. Watch Your Liquid Level:
While you need liquid to keep the meat moist, too much will make your pulled pork watery. Stick to the 1 cup of broth mentioned in the recipe – it might not look like enough, but the pork will release its own juices during cooking.
If you find your meat swimming in liquid after cooking, remove the meat, put the liquid in a pot, and simmer it down until it thickens slightly before adding it back to your shredded pork.
2. The Fork Test
To know when your pork is done, try pulling at it with a fork. If it resists or feels tough, it needs more time. When it’s ready, the meat should pull apart very easily with almost no effort.
Don’t worry about cooking it too long – it’s pretty hard to overcook pork in a slow cooker on low. Better to give it an extra hour than to end up with tough meat.
3. Let It Rest
When the cooking time is up, turn off the slow cooker, remove the lid, and let the meat rest for about 15-20 minutes.
This allows the meat fibers to relax and the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. If you shred it too soon, all those flavorful juices will run out and you’ll end up with drier meat.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What if I don’t have a slow cooker?
You can make this recipe in the oven using a Dutch oven or any heavy, covered pot. Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) and cook for about 6-7 hours.
Keep the lid on tight to keep the moisture in. Check the meat every few hours to make sure there’s still liquid in the pot – you might need to add a bit more broth than the recipe calls for.
2. Can I skip the chicken broth and use water instead?
While water will technically work, chicken broth adds a lot more flavor to the final dish. If you’re strict carnivore, make sure to use a broth without any vegetable ingredients.
You can also use beef broth or bone broth. These will all add more nutrients and flavor than plain water.
