• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over low heat and cook the pork, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden, 8 to 10 minutes.

• Remove the pork to a cutting board and set aside. Pour the liquid into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until reduced by half or the sauce is thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, shred the pork with 2 forks or chop into pieces. Put back in the slow cooker and top with the reduced sauce, to taste.
