Pork Roast Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 piece boneless pork shoulder around 4-5lbs
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons smokey barbecue rub spice mix
  • 2 teaspoons thyme
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • fresh rosemary to add to the roasting tray

Instructions

  1. Take your pork shoulder out of the fridge and allow it to sit at room temperature for almost 30 minutes before starting cooking it.
  2. Add olive oil to the meat to cover it evenly, rubbing the meat. Combine all spices into a small bowl and add them to the meat, rubbing evenly. Season with salt and pepper too. Set aside.
  3. Add butter to a large skillet and sear the meat for 2-3 minutes on all sides. Remove from the pan and add it to the roasting tray together will all the juices left in the pan. Add fresh rosemary to the tray too.
  4. Preheat oven to 300°F.
  5. Cover the tray with aluminum foil and place it in the oven.
  6. Allow to cook for almost 40 minutes per pound. My pork shoulder was close to 2 lbs and was ready in just about 90 minutes. Check the temperature using cooking thermometer to see if it's done: around 140-150F for medium rare and close to 165F for medium done.
  7. Take the roast out of the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving it.
