PORK BOSTON BUTT ROAST WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Cut small slits in the roast all over, then stuff with garlic clove halves (as many as you wish).
• Place in a shallow glass pan cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8-24 hours to allow garlic to infuse in the meat.
• Remove from the fridge and allow to sit for 1-1/2 hours or just until the meat is almost room temperature (this might take more than 1-1/2 hours).
• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• Place the roast in a small or medium-size oval roasting pan with a fitted lid.
• In a small cup or bowl mix together 4 tablespoons flour with 1-1-/2 tablespoons salt, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
• Sprinkle the flour/seasoning mix all over the roast.
• Pour 2 cups water and the vinegar into the bottom of the roasting pan.
• Add in the onion and whole garlic cloves.
• Drizzle the pork evenly with hot sauce.
• Cover with the lid and cook for 3-1/2 hours or until very tender.
• Remove pork from the roasting pan and wrap tightly in foil.
• Pour 1 cup pan drippings into a 2-cup pyrex measuring cup; let stand 10 minutes, then skim off the fat from the top of the glass.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high; whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons flour, the pan drippings, broth, red wine and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning; bring to a boil, whisking constantly, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Season gravy with black pepper.
• Serve the gravy with the roast.
