SLOW COOKED PORK ROAST



Slow Cooked Pork Roast image

Provided by Katie Workman

Categories     Main Course

Time 5h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons canola or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika (hot or sweet)
1 teaspoon coarse or kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 5-pound boneless pork butt roast
½ cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, garlic, oil, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Rub it all over the roast. Place the roast in a roasting pan, preferably in a wire rack. Add the wine.
  • Cook uncovered for 5 to 6 hours, until it has a nice crust and the meat is falling apart tender. You are looking for an internal temperature of 185°F, but you can also definitely tell it's done when it is starts to become tender enough to pull it apart with a fork.
  • Remove the roast from oven and let sit for about 15 to 20 minutes. Use a fork or two to shred the meat into nice sized pieces.

Categories     Dinner

Time 8h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 medium russet potatoes, quartered
1 medium white onion, chopped
6 medium carrots, diced into 4 pieces each
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
3 lbs. boneless pork shoulder roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 sprigs rosemary, bundled
6 sprigs thyme, bundled
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon*
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon pepper
1.5 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • First, prepare your pork dry rub by mixing together all of the spices in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Then, prepare veggies. Quarter 6 russet potatoes, chop a white onion, dice 6 medium carrots into 4 pieces each, and roughly chop 4 cloves of garlic.
  • Place the veggie medley on the bottom of your crockpot.
  • Next, rub your pork shoulder roast with the dry rub. Make sure that every nook and cranny is covered in rub.
  • Heat around 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium/high heat. When olive oil is fragrant, sear pork shoulder for 2 minutes on each side.
  • Then, place the pork roast in crock pot on top of the veggies. Make sure you scrape the skillet to get all of the delicious bits of rub off of it and add that to the crockpot, too.
  • Create herb bundle, by using bakers twine to tie together thyme and rosemary and set that on top of the pork.
  • Next, in a large Pyrex, mix together balsamic vinegar, red wine, and chicken broth.
  • Then, pour that on top of the pork roast.
  • Cover crockpot and turn to high. Let cook for around 6-8 hours (flipping pork roast halfway through cook time, if you can, if you can't no worries!).
  • Remove meat and vegetables from the crockpot and discard the herb bundle.
  • Using two forks, pull the pork roast apart into chunks and set aside.
  • Place 1/2 cup of the liquid left in the crockpot into a microwave safe Pyrex. Whisk in cornstarch.
  • Place cornstarch mixture into the microwave for 45 seconds (mixture should be thick a gelatinous).
  • Remove from the microwave and whisk the cornstarch mixture into the existing liquid in the crockpot until it thickens into a thin gravy.
  • Place pork and vegetables back into the crockpot and mix, coating everything in gravy.

SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST



Slow Cooker Pork Roast image

I tried this cut of meat when it was on sale, and for lack of any other ideas I took suggestions from the back of the label, with a few tweaks (like making gravy). This is a very popular dish at our house, and it could not be easier! Instead of rubbing the roast with the onion soup mix and then adding the cranberry sauce, you can also just mix the onion soup mix with the cranberry sauce and pour the whole mixture over the roast.

SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST



Slow Cooker Pork Roast image

You'll hardly believe this dish came out of a slow cooker. Searing the meat and coating it with a fresh herb paste gives this roast a good head start. A little rest and some fresh parsley and egg noodles ensures a great finish. Serve with roasted or mashed potatoes if that's what your crowd likes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
3 tablespoons fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
5 tablespoons olive oil
One 5- to 6-pound boneless pork shoulder with a fat cap
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
4 large carrots, cut into rough 1-inch chunks
4 celery ribs, cut into 2-inch-long pieces
1 large onion, trimmed but left intact at the root end, cut into eighths
2 bay leaves
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 to 4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Buttered egg noodles, for serving

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop together the rosemary, sage and thyme, and transfer them to a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil, and stir to combine.
  • Score the fat cap of the pork shoulder in a crosshatch pattern, then rub it all over with 2 1/2 tablespoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and heat until shimmering. Add the pork, fat-side down, and brown it well, 3 to 4 minutes, then brown it all over, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to a large plate.
  • Add the wine, garlic and allspice to the pan, bring to a simmer and reduce by about half. Set aside.
  • Put the carrots, celery, onions and bay leaves in the insert of a 7-quart slow cooker. Rub the herbed oil all over the pork, being sure to push some into all the natural divisions between muscles; place it on top of the vegetables, and pour in any collected juices. Add the reduced wine mixture and the chicken broth, cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
  • Transfer the pork to a cutting board, and tent with foil. Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter with a slotted spoon. Discard the bay leaves, and tent the vegetables with foil. Pour the juices into a liquid measuring cup, and let them settle for about 10 minutes. The fat should rise to the surface; spoon off as much as you can, and discard. Pour the juices into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil.
  • While the juices boil, make a cornstarch slurry: For every cup of juices, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch into 1 tablespoon cold water until dissolved. Reduce the heat so the juices are simmering, whisk in the slurry and cook, whisking frequently, until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Season with salt if necessary.
  • Slice the pork against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and arrange on a large platter with the vegetables. Ladle some of the sauce on top. Season the meat with a pinch of salt, and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley. Serve with egg noodles, and pass the remaining sauce.

SLOW-COOKER PORK ROAST



Slow-Cooker Pork Roast image

This easy pork roast is a hands-off dinner party main, thanks to your slow cooker. Marinate the boneless pork shoulder in advance for a low-stress menu.

Provided by Anna Stockwell

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 anchovy fillets
6 cloves garlic
¼ cup Dijon mustard, preferably but not necessarily country-style (grainy)
2 Tbsp. kosher salt
1 Tbsp. light brown sugar
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
¼ tsp. ground allspice
1 (approximately 6-pound) boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt) roast, tied (ask your butcher to tie it for you)
Handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as flat- leaf parsley or cilantro (optional)
Pickled Peppercorn Vinaigrette, to serve

Steps:

  • The night before or up to 2 days before cooking, pulse the anchovies, garlic, mustard, salt, sugar, pepper, and allspice in the jar of a food processor until a thick paste forms. Rub that paste all over your tied pork roast, pushing it between the cracks as much as possible. (If you care about how your hands smell, you might want to wear gloves for this process.)
  • If you have room to store the insert of your slow cooker in the fridge, tuck the rubbed roast into it, cover it, and refrigerate. If there's just no room, seal it into a resealable plastic bag and then refrigerate. Let it sit at least overnight or up to 2 days so that the salt and seasonings in the paste have a chance to penetrate the meat to tenderize and flavor it.
  • Place the insert and the pork into your slow cooker set to low, cover, and cook until the meat is fork-tender but not completely falling apart, 7 to 7½ hours. (If it's done cooking before you're ready for it, simply remove it from the cooker, wrap it tightly in foil, and let it sit for up to 2 hours, then re-warm-still wrapped-in a 300°F oven before slicing.)
  • Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the butcher's twine, then slice and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle vinaigrette over the top, or strain some of the juice out of the slow cooker, drizzle that over the top instead, and toss a flurry of chopped herbs over the top to make it pretty.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (4 pound) pork shoulder roast
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
¾ cup soy sauce
½ cup white sugar

Nutrition Facts : Calories 362.1 calories, Carbohydrate 16 g, Cholesterol 89.4 mg, Fat 21.6 g, Fiber 0.6 g, Protein 25.2 g, SaturatedFat 7.8 g, Sodium 1567.2 mg, Sugar 14 g

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork roast. A bone-in pork roast will be more flavorful and juicy than a boneless roast. Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is a good choice for slow cooking, as it has a lot of connective tissue that breaks down during cooking, resulting in a tender and flavorful roast.
  • Sear the pork roast before cooking. Searing the roast helps to develop flavor and caramelize the outside of the meat, creating a delicious crust. To sear the roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned.
  • Use a flavorful liquid for cooking the pork roast. You can use a variety of liquids for cooking a pork roast, such as broth, water, wine, or beer. The liquid you choose will add flavor to the roast, so choose something that you enjoy the taste of. You can also add herbs, spices, and vegetables to the liquid for extra flavor.
  • Cook the pork roast on low heat for a long time. The key to a tender and flavorful pork roast is to cook it on low heat for a long time. This allows the connective tissue in the meat to break down, resulting in a fall-off-the-bone roast. Cook the roast for at least 8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork roast rest before serving. Once the pork roast is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked pork roast is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a family dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tender and flavorful roast that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious meal, try making a slow-cooked pork roast. You won't be disappointed!
