Pork Roast Recipe
Description
The Pork Roast Recipe calls for a 3 to 5-pound pork butt seasoned generously with Worcestershire sauce and a preferred dry rub mix. Cooking on low in a slow cooker for 8-10 hours results in tender, pull-apart meat with a well-infused seasoning. The fat side is cooked up, helping keep the roast moist during the slow cooking process.
The texture is tender and easy to shred, suitable for serving as traditional roast slices or shredded for sandwiches and tacos. The seasoning gives a savory flavor profile with the option for customization using a spicy brown sugar rub.
After cooking, resting the meat allows juices to redistribute for an even moister bite. Serving with warm pan juices can add more moisture and flavor. The recipe fits well for weekend cooking or meal prep for multiple meals.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days with juices to keep the meat moist. Freezing is possible for up to 2 months with added juices. Reheating is best done gently in the oven or microwave with some covering to retain moisture and avoid drying out the meat.
Ingredients
- 1 (3-5 pound) pork butt
- 8-10 dashes Worcestershire sauce or coconut aminos
- 3-5 tablespoons seasoning mix or your favorite Dry Rub Recipe, Stone House brand
Instructions
- Prep. Place meat in the slow cooker with the fat side facing up. Add dashes of the Worcestershire sauce to the top of the meat and season with Stone House Seasoning.
- Cook the Pork Roast. Cook on low setting of slow cooker for 8-10 hours. Internal temperature of pork roast should be between 190º F and 205º F. Leave meat in the slow cooker on the "warm" setting for about 4 more hours or until the meat will easily pull with two forks.
- Serve. Remove the pork roast from slow cooker and allow to rest about 5-10 minutes before serving. Optional: Baste with a few tablespoons of the warm pan juices from the slow cooker.
Notes
- Use a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours to develop tender, pull-apart pork roast.
- Rest the roast 5-10 minutes after cooking before serving to help juices redistribute evenly.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, adding pan juices to keep the meat moist.
- Freeze cooled leftovers in airtight containers with pan juices for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in a 250ºF oven covered lightly with foil until warmed through or microwave with a damp paper towel cover to prevent drying out.
