Easy Roasted Pork Shoulder (Extra Tender)
This easy roasted pork shoulder features a garlic, rosemary, and Dijon mustard marinade that transforms a 5-pound pork shoulder into a tender, flavorful roast. Marinating the pork for 8 to 24 hours allows the seasonings to penetrate deeply. The cooking method involves broiling briefly for a golden crust, then slow roasting at 300°F until the internal temperature reaches 180°F. Resting the meat afterward ensures the juices redistribute, resulting in extra tenderness and rich flavor.
