Best Damn Pork Butt Roast

Step 1

Step 3

Apply seasoning rub over the meat. Massage and press into meat as best possible.

Step 4

Place meat in a large zip-top bag, sealed, overnight to marinate.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 350°(F).

Step 6

Place seasoned pork but on wire rack of a roasting pan with the fat side up. Place in oven at 350°(F) approximately 3-4 hours. Monitor closely with an instant read meat thermometer. Remove from oven when center of meat reached 185°(F). (This is more important than the time and the indicator that it’s done)

Step 7

Remove roasting pan with pork butt from oven and let rest for at least 15 minutes before transferring meat to a cutting board to be sliced.
