Pork is always on sale at my local grocery store. From pork chops to country ribs to pork tenderloin to ground pork, the prices make me stop and load up my basket with porky goodness. But the biggest deal is usually the pork butts. You can get a huge (huge!) pork butt roast for less than $10 most times. Enough to feed a family at least three or four times. This got me looking for pork butt recipes like this one.
This gluten-free roasted pork butt recipe results in the juiciest, moistest pork you'll ever put in your mouth. The pork butt is coated in a spice blend made with brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard and smoked paprika. Cover and marinate the pork in the refrigerator overnight. If you don't have that long, try to marinate the pork as long as you can. (If you have to cook it immediately, it will still be a delicious dinner.) Roast the pork in the oven for about three to four hours. Let the roast rest before slicing or shredding.
Serve this high-protein, low-sugar succulent pork roast for dinner with your favorite side dishes, or shred and make sandwiches or casseroles. Be sure to read about the health benefits of protein.
Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes plus overnight to marinate
Cook Time: 3 to 4 hours
Total Time: 4 hours plus overnight to marinate
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 pork butt (about 3 to 4 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Here's how to make it:
- Combine the brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
- Put the pork butt into a roasting pan and season all over with salt and pepper. Rub the seasoning blend all over the roast. Cover the pork butt and refrigerate overnight. (If you don't have a roasting pan, you can cook the pork butt in a dutch oven. If you can only find really big pork butts, ask the butcher to cut it in half for you.)
- When ready to cook, bake the pork in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 3 to 4 hours or until the internal temperature has reached 185 degrees F. Let the roast rest for 20 minutes before cutting. (Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the pork. Let it rest before slicing.)
