Foolproof Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder
20 min
2 hrs 40 mins
Steps
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- Mix all the ingredients together (everything but the roast itself) in a small bowl to form a paste. Smear it all over the roast. (You might have some left over, depending on the size of your roast.)
- Roast at 500°F for 20 minutes, then lower the heat to 250°F and cook until your probe thermometer reads 140°F, which will take another 2 hours or so. It'll be a beautiful brown color on the outside.
- Remove the roast from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes, during which time the temperature will continue to rise until it reaches the target temperature of 145°F. Then slice, serve, and enjoy, while marveling at its perfect juiciness.
