SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST



Slow Cooker Pork Roast image

I tried this cut of meat when it was on sale, and for lack of any other ideas I took suggestions from the back of the label, with a few tweaks (like making gravy). This is a very popular dish at our house, and it could not be easier! Instead of rubbing the roast with the onion soup mix and then adding the cranberry sauce, you can also just mix the onion soup mix with the cranberry sauce and pour the whole mixture over the roast.

SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST

You'll hardly believe this dish came out of a slow cooker. Searing the meat and coating it with a fresh herb paste gives this roast a good head start. A little rest and some fresh parsley and egg noodles ensures a great finish. Serve with roasted or mashed potatoes if that's what your crowd likes.

Time 9h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
3 tablespoons fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
5 tablespoons olive oil
One 5- to 6-pound boneless pork shoulder with a fat cap
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
4 large carrots, cut into rough 1-inch chunks
4 celery ribs, cut into 2-inch-long pieces
1 large onion, trimmed but left intact at the root end, cut into eighths
2 bay leaves
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 to 4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Buttered egg noodles, for serving

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop together the rosemary, sage and thyme, and transfer them to a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil, and stir to combine.
  • Score the fat cap of the pork shoulder in a crosshatch pattern, then rub it all over with 2 1/2 tablespoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and heat until shimmering. Add the pork, fat-side down, and brown it well, 3 to 4 minutes, then brown it all over, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to a large plate.
  • Add the wine, garlic and allspice to the pan, bring to a simmer and reduce by about half. Set aside.
  • Put the carrots, celery, onions and bay leaves in the insert of a 7-quart slow cooker. Rub the herbed oil all over the pork, being sure to push some into all the natural divisions between muscles; place it on top of the vegetables, and pour in any collected juices. Add the reduced wine mixture and the chicken broth, cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
  • Transfer the pork to a cutting board, and tent with foil. Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter with a slotted spoon. Discard the bay leaves, and tent the vegetables with foil. Pour the juices into a liquid measuring cup, and let them settle for about 10 minutes. The fat should rise to the surface; spoon off as much as you can, and discard. Pour the juices into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil.
  • While the juices boil, make a cornstarch slurry: For every cup of juices, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch into 1 tablespoon cold water until dissolved. Reduce the heat so the juices are simmering, whisk in the slurry and cook, whisking frequently, until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Season with salt if necessary.
  • Slice the pork against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and arrange on a large platter with the vegetables. Ladle some of the sauce on top. Season the meat with a pinch of salt, and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley. Serve with egg noodles, and pass the remaining sauce.

CROCK POT PORK BUTT ROAST



Crock Pot Pork Butt Roast image

This recipe came from the recipe book that came with my rival crock pot. I have lost my recipe book so am writing this from memory and experience. This is a wonderful recipe for a tasty, inexpensive, and really easy pork roast. This recipe is for pork butt (shoulder) roast. I do not know if it would work for pork loin or tenderloin roast because they don't have enough fat and may become tough.

Categories     Pork

Time 8h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 -4 lbs boneless pork butt (shoulder)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 large yellow onion
salt and pepper
any other dry seasoning, your family likes (i use season salt, lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper)
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Season both sides of pork roast with your choice of dry seasonings.
  • In a shallow roasting pan brown the roast under the broiler about 5 minutes on each side or you can brown on top the stove in a cast iron skillet with a touch of oil.
  • This step enhances the flavor and seals the juices in the meat, and renders any excess fat from the roast.
  • While roast is browning, slice large onion into thick slices and separate into rings.
  • Place 1/2 of the rings in the bottom of the crock pot.
  • Take the browned pork roast and place on top of the onion rings in the crock pot then cover with the other half of the onion rings.
  • Pour the 1/4 cup soy sauce over the top of roast, then pour the 1/2 cup water on sides of roast.
  • Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 5 hours.
  • You may have leftovers depending on family size and is great for sandwiches!
  • Meat should be falling apart.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or pork butt are the best cuts for slow cooker recipes as they have a good amount of fat that will keep the meat moist and tender during the long cooking process.
  • Brown the pork before cooking: Browning the pork in a skillet over medium-high heat before adding it to the slow cooker will help to caramelize the outside of the meat and give it a more flavorful crust.
  • Season the pork generously: Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the pork, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Add liquid to the slow cooker: Add enough liquid to the slow cooker to cover the pork about halfway. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Cook the pork on low for 8-10 hours: The best way to cook pork in a slow cooker is on low for 8-10 hours. This will give the meat plenty of time to become tender and fall apart easily.
  • Shred the pork before serving: Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks or use a meat shredder. This will make it easier to serve and eat.

Conclusion:

Pork roast cooked in a slow cooker is a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and tender pork roast that will be the star of any meal. So next time you're looking for an easy and delicious weeknight dinner, give slow cooker pork roast a try.
