📝 Preparation Steps
1
Classic Slow Roasted On the Stove
2
Toss the cubed pork with the garlic powder and chipotle chili powder. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
garlic powder1 tablespoonchipotle chili powder2 teaspoons
3
Heat a large dutch oven over medium high heat. Sear the pork on all sides. If needed, sear the pork in batches if your dutch oven is not large enough. Reduce the heat low and pour in the beer, orange juice and 1/2 cup water (there should be just enough liquid to cover the sides of the meat). Add the bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1 1/⏱️ 2 hours on LOW. After 1 1/⏱️ 2 hours the pork should be falling apart. Remove the lid and continue cooking another ⏱️ 30 minutes. The Coca-Cola will caramelize and the liquid will evaporate almost completely.
