Method

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cumin. Rub the spice mixture evenly all over the pork shoulder.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until deeply browned, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Add the sliced onions to the bottom of a slow cooker. Place the browned pork on top. Pour the apple cider vinegar and beef broth around the pork. Drizzle about ¾ of the BBQ sauce over the pork and onions, reserving the rest for serving.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, until the pork is fall-apart tender.
Using two forks, shred the pork directly in the slow cooker and toss with the sauce. If desired, add more of the reserved BBQ sauce to taste.
In a medium bowl, toss the coleslaw mix with the ranch until lightly coated. Set aside.
Pile the pulled pork onto slider buns and top with a spoonful of slaw. Add pickles or jalapeños, if using. Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce. Serve and enjoy!
