How To Make but, it's beer butt pork butt!
-
Step 1Wash meat and dry with paper towel.
-
Step 2Rub olive oil and honey all over the meat.
-
Step 3Add rest of marinade ingredients to bowl, and whisk together.
-
Step 4Pour marinade over meat.
-
Step 5Using a spatula (or your hands), remove all marinate from bowl, and spread lovingly all over the meat.
-
Step 6Cover tightly and marinate overnight (or at least 8 hours). If you have the time, turn it over at least once.
-
Step 7When ready to start cooking, take meat out of fridge and let it come to room temp.
-
Step 8Heat up oil in dutch oven until you see ripples on top, or until it sizzles when you sprinkle small amount of water into it off your fingertips. ** USE whatever oil you like which has a high smoke point (Veg oil, peanut oil, corn oil); I used combo of veg oil and coconut oil.
-
Step 9Carefully place your meat into the hot pan fat-side down. Leave meat down on each side for 3-4 minutes without disturbing it.
-
Step 10Sear on all sides; you may need to use your tongs to hold up the meat when searing the short sides.
-
Step 11Remove meat from pan and place on plate to let it rest. Turn burner off. Preheat oven to 250*.
-
Step 12Roughly chop carrot, onion and leek.
-
Step 13Add veggies to bottom of pot, making a "stand" for your roast.
-
Step 14Place roast in pot, and add rest of veggies.
-
Step 15Pour in beer and stock. Cover and place in oven for about 8 hours without peeking! (Times will vary - my 20 lbs roast took 8 hours at 250).
-
Step 16After it is done, it should shred very easily with a fork and be extremely tender.
-
Step 17Shred it up, leaving some larger chunks.
-
Step 18Serving suggestion: Place shredded meat on one side of baguette. Top with sliced brie cheese. Place in an oven-proof bowl, and place in oven at 100 for about 5 minutes until cheese melts. Top with roasted peppers and dill. Pour some juice on it from dutch oven. DELISH.
