To begin the preparation, it is necessary for the meat to be at room temperature. Depending on the size of the piece, it may need to be cut to fit in the Slow Cooker. Once this is done, grease the meat with two tablespoons of olive oil using your hands to ensure it is well coated.
In a bowl, mix the sea salt, paprika, garlic, onion powder, and pepper. Use this mixture to coat the meat and let it rest for 20 minutes.
While the meat rests, in another deep bowl, mix the root beer, 1/2 bottle of Hunt's® Original BBQ Sauce, the vinegar, and the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil.
Cut the red onion into quarters and place it at the bottom of the pot along with the mixture of beer and vinegar; place the meat on top without stirring, so that the spice mix with which it was seasoned does not fall off.
Cover the Slow Cooker and cook for 8 hours on low or 4 on high. It is suggested to start it the night before so that it is ready the next day.
Once the meat is cooked, remove it and take out the onion, reserving the juices in a bowl and draining the meat. Place the meat on a large plate to shred it; using a couple of forks, separate the meat and then return it to the pot.
Add the rest of the bottle of Hunt's® Original BBQ Sauce, and if you want the meat a bit moister, add some of the cooking juices. Depending on your taste, you can add more sauce instead of the juices.
To serve, it is suggested to toast the buns and fill them with the meat.
