Best Pork Recipes – Beer Braised Pork Butt
Here’s a super flavorful meal that takes a little time to prepare but then does it’s own thing in the oven. Serve it with mashed or roasted potatoes. Here is what you are going to need for this:
4 pounds pork butt
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into three inch pieces
2 stalks celery, quartered
½ a large yellow onion (or 1 small one), coarsely chopped
3 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
5 sprigs each of thyme, parsley and celery leaves, tied into a bouquet
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1- 12 oz. bottle of beer
2 cups beef broth
Olive oil
Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
Mix the cumin, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Rinse and pat dry the pork. Liberally rub it with the salt, pepper
and cumin mix.
Heat a braising pan. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Heat and add
the pork. Brown pork evenly on all sides.
Remove pork from pan and add 1 more tablespoon olive oil.
Add carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Reduce the heat. Mix well
and cook for a couple of minutes.
Deglaze the pan with a small amount of beer, scraping the
brown bits at the bottom. Stir to mix and cook for 4 to 5
minutes, until the vegetables are soft and slightly browned.
Move the vegetables to the side forming a circle in the middle.
Return the pork to the middle of the pan. Add the bouquet of
herbs, the remaining beer and the beef broth.
Bring to a boil, cover and place in the oven.
Cook for 2 to 2 ½ hours, until meat is tender and can be
separated with a fork.
Serve with mashed potatoes
