Barbecue Glazed Pork Shoulder Butt & Beer
Author Notes: My husband, the meat man of the family, makes the most amazing slow roasted Pork Shoulder with a Barbecue glaze. He roasts it slowly in the oven, turning it over about every 30 minutes for about 6 hours. The end result is a succulent, flavorful pork with meat falling off the bone and a nice “tang” to sit against the richness of the meat. - coffeefoodwritergirl
Serves about 8
For the Pork Shoulder Butt:
- 6 pound pork shoulder butt – bone in
- Lawry’s seasoning salt
- black pepper (fresh ground)
- 1 medium onion – chopped
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes (or regular) – chopped
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1 bottle (12 ounce) dark beer (we used San Miguel)
- 2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
For the Barbecue Glaze:
- 2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce (we used Chris & Pitts)
- ½ cup port
- 2 tablespoons sherry
- ½ cup red wine
- juice of one orange
- juice of 2 limes
- juice of 2 tangerines
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons white (distilled) vinegar
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Place pork shoulder butt in roasting pan. Sprinkle liberally with seasoning salt, black pepper and drizzle olive oil over top. Surround with onions and tomatoes. Add vinegar. Pour beer around all. Place in preheated oven. Cook for one hour.
- Meanwhile, mix all ingredients for barbecue glaze in medium bowl. Set aside.
- After an hour, turn the roast over.
- After half an hour, turn roast over again and baste with thick layer of glaze. Continue to do this every half hour (turning and basting...turning and basting) for a total of about 6 hours cooking time, or until roast is tender and falling off the bone.
- Slice and serve with thick sauce on the side.

It is awesome , I had a boneless Boston Butt and I cooked it in my trusty Dutch Oven for 5 Hrs , and it fell apart, as Iexpected, and 2 nites later, it is just as moist and tasty. I'll be making this again.

This is something my husband would also go for! Saucy and meaty! Do you guys ever do a version of this on the grill or finished on the grill?

My husband does something similar with ribs -- but he cooks the ribs first slowly in the oven and then puts it on the barbecue for only about 10-15 mins -- brushed with sauce -- just to get that barbecue flavor, brushing the sauce over again the end of cooking and again right before serving....

Thank you ChezSuzanne! We are going to shred the leftovers, mix it all up with the barbecue sauce and have the rest for dinner tonight (maybe as sandwiches?...)

This sounds really delicious! Do you ever make it with a cut other than the shoulder?
