My husband doesn't like BBQ sauce, but we had a pork roast. I whipped this up in the slow cooker, and it was awesome served with broccoli and rice, and also as pulled pork sandwiches for the 2 kids and hubby for a few days without them getting tired of it! It got better and better until it was gone, so I figured it was worth sharing. You let me know what you think!

EASY, QUICK AND GOOD PORK ROAST



Easy, Quick and GOOD Pork roast image

I invented this because I cook a lot at work and I like to try new things - Everyone likes this - it also works well with a lamb roast - but not so good with beef -

Provided by dgpat

Categories     Meat

Time 1h5m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 -5 lbs pork roast
4 tablespoons of minced garlic, with oil from the jar
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Make x’s into the pork roast all over and put the garlic on- you will have to use your hands to rub the garlic into the x’s and all over the roast.
  • Sprinkle the pepper over the roast and garlic.
  • Cook at 525 for 30-40 minutes (it may smoke- you may have to turn the fan on) then lower and cook at 325 for another 30-40 minutes.
  • This is the best pork roast ever- and in a SHORT time with little fuss- I do dinners and parties and I have had people come into the kitchen to tell me that this was the BEST pork they have ever had.
  • I live alone, so when I do this at home, I use a pork tenderloin (about 1-1/2 lbs) and cut the time to 15-20 minutes for each temp.
  • If you aren’t sure- you might want to try this for the first time with a tenderloin- my grocery store has them buy one get two free almost once a month!
  • But this is GOOD!

EASY TASTY PORK ROAST



Easy Tasty Pork Roast image

I looked and didn't find any pork roast made this way. This is the way I have made a Pork Butt Roast our entire marriage of 48 years. It is easy and oh so tender, juicy and delicious. I always serve it with mashed potatoes and make gravy from the rich drippings. If you make a large roast the leftovers can be made into many other dishes...even BBQ pork sandwhiches if you simmer some of it in BBQ sauce until it is absorbed.

Provided by Tyshero

Categories     Pork

Time 2h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2-3/4 cup apple juice, depending on taste
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 (3 -4 lb) pork roast or 1 (3 -4 lb) pork chops

Steps:

  • Combine all into a measuring cup, blend with an immersion blender or beaters to combine the mustard really well into the other ingredients.
  • Pour over a roast or chops.
  • When making a roast, I line the pan with tin foil and wrap it around the top of the roast to keep the moisture inches
  • Bake at 350 for roughly 2 hours, depending on size of roast and/or cut of meat used.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork roast. Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is a good choice because it is a flavorful and affordable cut of meat that becomes tender when cooked slowly.
  • Season the pork roast generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Sear the pork roast in a hot skillet before roasting it. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the meat.
  • Roast the pork roast at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to ensure that the meat is cooked through and tender.
  • Let the pork roast rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the meat, making it more flavorful and tender.

Conclusion:

Pork roast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can easily create a flavorful and tender pork roast that will be a hit at your next dinner party.
