DAD'S BASIC MOIST PORK ROAST



Dad's Basic Moist Pork Roast image

This is the best and most basic way to ensure a juicy, perfectly-cooked pork roast every time. This recipe really requires a good thermometer -- either a $10 instant-read type or, even better, the type that pierces the meat and stays in place while connected to an outside-the-oven monitor. If you can swing that, then try your favorite marinade or rub on this recipe. Use your imagination on the rubs and marinades, but ensure you bring your roast directly from the fridge to the roasting pan -- Dad's recipe works best that way.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for this recipe, as it is a flavorful and inexpensive cut that becomes tender when cooked slowly.
  • Use a good quality beer: The beer you use will add flavor to the pork, so choose a beer that you enjoy drinking. A dark beer like a stout or porter will give the pork a richer flavor, while a lighter beer like a pilsner or lager will give it a more delicate flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you are cooking a large piece of pork, you may need to cook it in batches. Overcrowding the pot will prevent the pork from browning properly and will result in dry, tough meat.
  • Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender: The pork is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. However, for the most tender pork, cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork rest before serving: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy pork roast.

Conclusion:

Danish roast pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful gravy, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new pork recipe, give Danish roast pork a try.
