Boston Butt Pork Roast Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork Roast

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat the Boston butt pork roast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork roast.

2. 2

   Sear the Roast

   In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Au Jus

   In the same skillet, add the black grapes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Pour in the broth and red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add fresh thyme and bay leaves.

4. 4

   Roast the Pork

   Return the seared pork roast to the skillet, placing it on top of the grape mixture. Cover with a lid or foil and place in the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C) and the pork is tender.

5. 5

   Rest and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing. Serve with the black grape au jus drizzled over the top.
