Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon garlic chopped, plus 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon fresh Rosemary chopped
- 2 tablespoon fresh sage chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 lb Pork butt shoulder
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
- Liberally sprinkle salt and pepper all over the roast.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and sage.
- Using a small brush, or your hands, spread the mixture all over the pork butt.
- Make slits in the meat, about ½-inch wide and deep. Insert the garlic slices into the slits.
- Set the meat on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reads 145°F, about 25 minutes per pound.
- Remove the roast from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes.
- Slice and serve!

Notes
- Be sure to select a pork butt, which is actually from the shoulder. Bone-in adds even more flavor.
- Because oven temperatures vary, as well as the size of the roast, we recommend using an instant read meat thermometer to ensure doneness. The internal temperature should be 145°F.
- Left-overs can stay refrigerated for 5 to 7 days. The sliced roast can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
