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! :)

Categories     Easy

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.
  • Note: This can easily be done in a slow cooker. Set it on high for 30 minutes, then turn down the heat to low, and let it cook for most of the day or even overnight.
  • 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.

TENDER ROAST LOIN OF PORK



Tender Roast Loin Of Pork image

Last Sunday I had guests coming for an early dinner. I had to be gone for a few hours, so I popped this in the oven before I left. It was SO tender and juicy!! I'll make it like this all the time now. I think it would work well in a crockpot too, if you cut the roast in large pieces before browning.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork roast: Look for a pork shoulder or pork butt roast, which are both well-marbled and flavorful.
  • Sear the roast before braising: Searing the roast helps to develop a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid should be flavorful and aromatic. Common ingredients include broth, wine, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Cook the roast until it is fall-apart tender: The roast should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender, which usually takes at least 2 hours.
  • Let the roast rest before serving: Let the roast rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

A tender pork roast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. By following these tips, you can create a tender and flavorful pork roast that your family and friends will love.
