Best Slow-roasted Pork Butt
  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Remove the netting from the pork and trim off some of the fat if needed.

  3. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and dried thyme, and mix well. Rub the mixture all over the pork.

  4. Heat a heavy skillet over high heat and sear the roast for a few minutes on all sides. If using a cast-iron or heavy oven-safe skillet, leave the pork in the skillet. Otherwise, transfer the pork to a roasting or baking pan.

  5. Cover the pork with foil and place the skillet in the oven. Reduce the temperature to 325 F and roast for 3 hours.

  6. Remove the foil and continue roasting for another hour, or until the roast is pull-apart tender and the inner temperature is around 165 to 180 F.

  7. Let cool for a few minutes before shredding using 2 forks. Toss with the optional barbecue sauce or serve as is. Enjoy.
