    How to Make Oven-Roasted Pork Butt with Rosemary, Garlic, and Black Pepper

    1. Season the Pork

    Season the boneless pork shoulder thoroughly with minced garlic, a generous amount of finely chopped rosemary, freshly ground black pepper, and salt. Massage the seasoning into the meat ensuring it is well coated.

    2. Marinate the Pork

    Cover the seasoned pork shoulder and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate deeply into the meat.

    3. Roast the Pork

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the marinated pork shoulder in a roasting pan and roast in the oven for about three hours until the pork is golden brown and tender.

    4. Rest the Pork

    Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes on a cutting board or platter before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Choose the Right Cut

    Select a pork butt with a balance of fat and meat, ideally bone-in for flavor and tenderness.

    Use a Meat Thermometer

    Cook to an internal temperature of about 195°F for optimal tenderness.

    Resting is Crucial

    Rest the pork for at least 30 minutes under foil after roasting for juicier meat.

    Roasting Technique

    Start at high heat to form a crust, then lower to 300°F to cook slowly to tenderness.

    Season Generously and Early

    Dry brine with salt overnight to enhance flavor and moisture retention.
