EASY BEER PULLED PORK (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• 1. Set up your crock pot and bring the pork to room temperature. Trim any excess fat. 2. Thinly slice the onion and spread over the bottom of the crock pot. 3. Mix the salt, brown sugar, garlic salt, pepper, paprika and oregano and rub all over the pork. Sprinkle any extra seasoning over the onions. 4. Place the seasoned pork on top of the onions in the crock pot and add the beer. Take care not to wash away the seasoning from the top of the meat. 5. Close the lid and cook on low for up to 12 hours or high for up to 6-7 hours. Exact cooking time will vary based on the size/weight of your meat and your brand of slow cooker. 6. When pork is really tender and can be easily shredded with a pair of forks it is done. Let the shredded pork sit in the crock pot for a few minutes on warm to soak up the delicious juices. Serve.

BEER BRAISED PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250° F.
• Preheat a large fry pan or Dutch oven on medium heat. Liberally coat the pork butt in coriander, cinnamon and salt all over and then place in the hot pan, fat side down first. This will render some of the fat out of the pork and eliminate the need for oil.
• Sear the roast on all sides so that it is nicely browned all over and then remove and set aside for now.
• Add the shallots and apple and sauté until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
• Add the ginger and sauté for 1 minutes more, stirring frequently.
• Now add the roast back to the pan, pour in the beer and drizzle the molasses on top of the pork butt.
• Place the roast in the oven and let it go for about 90 minutes per pound or until the meat is falling apart. You should be able to shred the meat easily with a fork.
• Remove the meat from the pan and allow it to cool enough for you to handle. Drain off some of the excess fat that is in the pan with the apples and shallots.
• Bring the pan ingredients to a simmer and add a little more beer or water if needed so that it is a runny consistency. Mash the apples and shallots with a fork so that they start to incorporate with the sauce.
• Add a little more molasses to bring it all together and then set the sauce aside. The sauce should be rich but still loose like a nice gravy.
• Now the pork should be cool enough to handle. Place on a cutting board and pull the meat into chunks. Then following the grain, either with your fingers or a fork start 'pulling' the meat into little strips. Make sure to remove any fat that you see as you go.
• Now add the meat back to the pan with the sauce and heat on medium heat. Your pulled pork is ready to go and your family is going to love you! Use this in a sandwich, on pizza, in burritos or quesadilla's or just serve it on a plate with your favourite veggies and a whole grain.

• Boil remaining liquid over medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Pay careful attention to the sauce near the 30 minute mark, if the mixture gets foamy, remove from heat. Cook until reduced to the consistency of syrup, about 40 minutes. Discard bay leaves and let cool for about 15 minutes. Mixture will thicken considerably as it cools. Top roasted pork with BBQ sauce.

JUICY BEER-BRAISED PORK LOIN WITH CARROTS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe roasting pan, coat the bottom with vegetable oil and bring the temperature up to high. Brown the pork loin roast in the hot oil on all sides. Remove the pork roast from the pan. Drain all but 3 tablespoons of fat from pan.
• In the pan, sauté onions and carrots in the pan drippings until softened. Stir in beer, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and whole cloves.
• Return the pork to the pan or Dutch oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 F for 2 hours or until the pork is tender. Check with a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the roast. It should be at least 145 F.
• Place the pork loin on a serving platter and keep it warm.
• Pour the cooking liquid from pan into a large bowl; skim off fat and remove the bay leaf.
• Place the liquid with the vegetables into a blender; cover and process at low speed until smooth. Or press through sieve or process in a food processor in batches.
• Pour the processed beer sauce into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring often.
• Slice the pork roast. Spoon the sauce over the sliced pork to serve. Cover and refrigerate any leftover pork roast. You can also refrigerate leftover sauce and reheat it in the microwave to serve. You may have seen older guidelines about the safe temperature for cooking pork roast. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) updated safety recommendations for pork in 2011 to lower the target temperature to 145 F. At this temperature, the pork loin might be a little pink in the middle, but it is safe. As a bonus, it won't be overcooked and dried out.
