Fall Apart Tender Slow Roast Pork Butt Food

FALL-APART TENDER PORK BUTT ROAST (PULLED PORK)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the rack slightly below the center of the oven.
• Place the pork in a casserole that is just large enough to hold it and has a lid.
• Sprinkle the roast on all sides with worcestershire sauce. Then press brown sugar coating on all sides of the pork. Pour the apple juice down the side of the casserole to the bottom, being sure not to drizzle it on the crusted meat. Cover tightly.
• Place the roast in the oven and immediately turn the heat down to 200°F (95°C).
• Roast without opening the oven door for about 5 hours, until the meat is so tender that it pulls apart easily. If the meat does not pull apart easily, cover, and return to the oven and roast 30 minutes more. Check again, roast 30 minutes more as needed.
• Pull the meat apart and remove the bone. Stir the salt into the juices at the bottom of the pan. Serve meat in its delicious juice hot or at room temperature.
• Note: This can easily be done in a slow cooker. Set it on high for 30 minutes, then turn down the heat to low, and let it cook for most of the day or even overnight.
• You can also pour off most of the juice if preffered and stir in your favorite bbq sauce after shredding. Heat through in pot on the stove over medium-low heat.
• This should make about 12 sandwiches.

Steps:

• Let the meat come to room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Combine the garlic powder, pepper and salt in a small bowl and rub it all over the meat. Place the pork on a roasting pan. Pour 1/4 cup chicken broth into the pan. You want the liquid to fully cover the bottom of the pan, so add more for a larger pan.

• Increase the oven to 475°F.
• When the oven comes to temperature, return the roast to the oven for 15 mintues, until a golden crust is formed and the internal temperature registers 145°F.

FALL-APART TENDER SLOW-ROAST PORK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pork in pot with lid. Sprinkle pork heavily with Worcestershire sauce; turn it over and sprinkle other side heavily as well. Take handful of brown sugar and rub against meat to make a brown sugar crust. Repeat until meat is coated with sugar. Pour apple juice in bottom of pan, not over meat. Cover and place pot in oven. Reduce oven heat to 200 degrees; cook 4 hours, until meat literally falls apart when you try to lift it with a fork. Break meat apart a little and push it down into drippings. Sprinkle with salt. (Salt cannot be omitted; it is vital to bring out meat flavors.) Serve hot or at room temperature. Excellent with potato salad and baked beans. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
