Make and share this Fall-Apart Tender Pork Butt Roast (Pulled Pork) recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Wildflour

Categories     Easy

Time 5h20m

Yield 1 roast, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pork butt (about 4 pounds)
1/4-1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 cup apple juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork butt, also known as Boston butt, is the ideal cut for slow roasting. It's a well-marbled, flavorful cut that becomes incredibly tender when cooked low and slow.
  • Season the pork generously. Use a flavorful rub or marinade to infuse the pork with flavor. Common seasonings include garlic, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Cook the pork on a low temperature for a long time. The key to fall-apart tender pork is to cook it low and slow. Aim for a cooking temperature of 225-250°F (107-121°C) for 8-10 hours.
  • Add liquid to the pot. Adding a small amount of liquid to the pot helps to keep the pork moist and prevent it from drying out. Common liquids include water, broth, or apple cider.
  • Cover the pot. Covering the pot helps to create a moist environment that encourages the pork to braise in its own juices.
  • Check the pork regularly. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork. It's done when it reaches an internal temperature of 200-205°F (93-96°C).
  • Let the pork rest before serving. Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and effort, you can easily make fall-apart tender slow-roast pork butt at home. This classic dish is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw, and enjoy!
