  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade for this recipe is made with garlic, paprika, caraway seeds, and dark beer. This combination of flavors will infuse the pork with a delicious taste.
  • Cook the pork slowly: This recipe calls for cooking the pork for 4 hours at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. This low and slow cooking method will help to tenderize the pork and develop its flavor.
  • Make sure the pork is well-browned: Before roasting the pork, be sure to brown it on all sides in a hot skillet. This will help to seal in the juices and give the pork a nice crust.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite sides: This recipe is traditionally served with dumplings, sauerkraut, and red cabbage. However, you can also serve it with rice, potatoes, or your favorite vegetables.
