Fall-Apart-Tender Slow-Roast Pork Butt image

Pork butt is a less-expensive cut, but cooking at a very low temperature ensures a tender, juicy roast, and it dissolves fat and connective tissue, This can also be made in a slow cooker set on high for 30 minutes, then turned down to low for the day, oven cooking time will vary depending on the size of your roast -- I have made this in the past, and it is very good! :)

Time 5h20m

Yield 1 roast, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pork butt (about 4 pounds)
1/4-1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 cup apple juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the rack slightly below the center of the oven.
  • Place the pork in a casserole that is just large enough to hold it and has a lid.
  • Sprinkle the roast on all sides with worcestershire sauce. Then press brown sugar coating on all sides of the pork. Pour the apple juice down the side of the casserole to the bottom, being sure not to drizzle it on the crusted meat. Cover tightly.
  • Place the roast in the oven and immediately turn the heat down to 200°F (95°C).
  • Roast without opening the oven door for about 5 hours, until the meat is so tender that it pulls apart easily. If the meat does not pull apart easily, cover, and return to the oven and roast 30 minutes more. Check again, roast 30 minutes more as needed.
  • Pull the meat apart and remove the bone. Stir the salt into the juices at the bottom of the pan. Serve meat in its delicious juice hot or at room temperature.

  • You can also pour off most of the juice if preffered and stir in your favorite bbq sauce after shredding. Heat through in pot on the stove over medium-low heat.
  • This should make about 12 sandwiches.

Number Of Ingredients 6

6-8 pound Boston Butt Pork Roast
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cumin
*Optional - 1 tablespoon onion or garlic powder

Steps:

  • *** After a generous rub all over the entire roast, cover with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to marinate overnight! ***

  • Preheat oven to 450° f, and let the roast come up to room temperature while the oven is preheating. Place roast UNCOVERED into your high temperature oven, and roast for a half hour. Then, turn it down to a 250° f oven temperature for the rest of the day.

Make sure the outside is good and CRUSTY... Most people think the "bark" or exterior of the roast is the best part, because that's where are the spices are!
  • Then carefully remove roast from oven and completely wrap it in 2 layers of heavy duty aluminum foil.
  • Return Boston Butt to the oven and roast at 250° till the internal temperature (at the deepest part of roast) reaches 200° f.

  • Add a cup of water to the roasting pan to prevent the pork from drying out.
  • Baste the pork with its own juices every few hours to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Cover the pork tightly with aluminum foil for the first few hours of roasting to create a moist environment that helps the pork tenderize.
  • Remove the aluminum foil for the last hour of roasting to allow the pork to brown and crisp up.
