Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lime (2 tablespoons)
- Juice of 1 orange (2 tablespoons)
- 3 to 3 1/2-pound boneless pork shoulder
- One 24-inch sub roll
- Yellow mustard
- 1 pound Swiss, thick-sliced
- 1 pound honey ham, thinly sliced
- 2 cups dill pickle chips
- 2 red onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Mix the oil, salt, cumin, oregano, black pepper, red pepper, garlic, lime juice and orange juice in a small bowl. Make slits in the pork with a paring knife and rub liberally all over with the oil mixture. Place the pork in a slow cooker and top with the remaining juices from the bowl. Cover and cook on low until tender, flipping once halfway through, about 6 hours.
- Remove from the slow cooker and let cool slightly. Shred the pork into thick chunks with 2 forks. Set the pork aside and keep warm in the cooking liquid.
- Slice the roll open and smear both sides with mustard. Layer on the Swiss, ham, pulled pork and pickles. Place the onions over half the sub and cut into portions. Or, start on opposing ends and race to the middle.

Absolutely delicious, so flavorful! Doubled the ingredients for an 8lb. Pork, cooked 11 hrs. And everyone enjoyed
At first, I was only using the seasoning for the crockpot pork roast. I cooked it, straining the juices and letting them chill to skim off the fat. The next day, I realized I had everything to make the sandwiches. I assembled them, air fried them and wound up with delicious grilled sandwiches perfectly seasoned! Thanks, Jeff!
Simple and very flavorful!
Easy and delicious!
Aw shoot! I bought a pork butt end – can I still use it in this recipe? I LOVE the reviews and Jeff’s recipes.
Wow totally awesome. Onions and all. The slow cooked pork can be used with so many things.
This recipe is so flavorful, you will not be disappointed! I serve it over yellow rice & black beans.
I just had to heat up the bread in foil before assembling layers. Excellent recipe!
Cuban sandwiches don’t have onion on them!
I have a similar slow cooker recipe to this. Except you marinate the meat over night and you use pineapple or grapefruit juice instead of orange. I should just post it. lol!
