Pork Marinade

Method

Marinating the Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well until all ingredients are fully integrated.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Place the Berkshire pork shoulder into a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking the Pork

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. 4

    Sear the Pork

    Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (discard the marinade) and sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  3. 5

    Roast the Pork

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for about 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C). Baste the pork occasionally with any juices that accumulate in the pan.

  4. 6

    Rest the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Sides

  1. 7

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large pot, add diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and chopped onion. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 8

    Drain and Serve

    Drain the vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve alongside the sliced Berkshire pork.
