Best Crock Pot Pork Butt Roast Recipes

CROCK POT PORK BUTT ROAST

Steps:

• Season both sides of pork roast with your choice of dry seasonings.
• In a shallow roasting pan brown the roast under the broiler about 5 minutes on each side or you can brown on top the stove in a cast iron skillet with a touch of oil.
• This step enhances the flavor and seals the juices in the meat, and renders any excess fat from the roast.
• While roast is browning, slice large onion into thick slices and separate into rings.
• Place 1/2 of the rings in the bottom of the crock pot.
• Take the browned pork roast and place on top of the onion rings in the crock pot then cover with the other half of the onion rings.
• Pour the 1/4 cup soy sauce over the top of roast, then pour the 1/2 cup water on sides of roast.
• Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 5 hours.
• You may have leftovers depending on family size and is great for sandwiches!
• Meat should be falling apart.

CROCK POT ROAST PORK BUTT RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Sear the pork roast in a bit of hot oil in a saute pan until all sides are evenly browned. This extra step isn't absolutely necessary, but it adds flavor and helps seal in the juices. Place the pork butt in the Crock-Pot. Most slow cookers can accommodate a roast between 5 and 8 pounds. Cook larger roasts in the oven or cut them in half. You must add liquid to a slow cooker or the roast will dry out as it cooks. Add 1/2 to 1 cup apple juice, white wine or broth. Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for 8 to 10 hours. The connective tissue in the roast begins to break down when the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit, but don't be afraid to let the temperature go up to 185 F. As long as you keep liquid in the cooker, the roast won't dry out. Add a bit more liquid if necessary. Once the roast is fork tender, transfer it to a carving board. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it's cool enough to handle. Serve it in chunks or use tongs to shred it.
