Crock Pot Pork Butt Roast

Submitted by shannon albritton

"This recipe came from the recipe book that came with my rival crock pot. I have lost my recipe book so am writing this from memory and experience. This is a wonderful recipe for a tasty, inexpensive, and really easy pork roast. This recipe is for pork butt (shoulder) roast. I do not know if it would work for pork loin or tenderloin roast because they don't have enough fat and may become tough."

 

• Ready In: 8hrs 10mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 10

ingredients

• 3 -4 lbs boneless pork butt (shoulder)
• 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
• 1 large yellow onion
• salt and pepper
• any other dry seasoning, your family likes (i use season salt, lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper)
• 1⁄2 cup water

directions

1. Season both sides of pork roast with your choice of dry seasonings.
2. 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.
3. This step enhances the flavor and seals the juices in the meat, and renders any excess fat from the roast.
4. While roast is browning, slice large onion into thick slices and separate into rings.
5. Place 1/2 of the rings in the bottom of the crock pot.
6. 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.
7. Pour the 1/4 cup soy sauce over the top of roast, then pour the 1/2 cup water on sides of roast.
8. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 5 hours.
9. You may have leftovers depending on family size and is great for sandwiches!
10. Meat should be falling apart.

This was the easiest and best pork butt recipe I've ever made. I pre-browned my 5 lb. Boneless 1/2 butt before putting it the crock pot. After about 8 hrs in the crock pot, I took it out and roasted it in the oven for 30 minutes to give it a nice crust. I thickened up the meat drippings and added a little apple cider vinegar to the gravy and poured the gravy all over the pulled pork. Will definitely make this pork butt recipe again!

This was the best pork roast I've ever eaten! My guys loved it too! I rubbed the pork roast down with Lawry's seasoning salt, browned it in a skillet and followed the rest of the recipe to a T. Perfect!

Oh my goodness. I have never tasted such a tender pork shoulder before. The meat pulled apart like butter. The only thing I did differently from the recipe was add a bit more water in (another 1/2 a cup). I would HIGHLY recommend this recipe to anyone.

Shannon, God bless you. Like you this was my favorite recipe from the Rival recipe booklet and I also lost mine. I have been looking for this recipe for many years. I could never remember how much soy sauce or water to use. I do remember however, that it called for a clove of garlic slivered, make little slits all over roast and insert the garlic slivers then broil on each side about 10 minutes. Then proceed with the rest of the recipe. I can't thank you enough for posting this recipe.
