Fall Apart Roast In Oven Recipes

FALL-APART-TENDER SLOW-ROAST PORK BUTT

Steps:

• Make small slits all over the roast then insert a whole garlic clove into each slit (this is only optional).
• Place the roast in a greased casserole dish with a lid.
• Sprinkle the roast on all sides with Worcestershire sauce.
• Let sit at room temperature for 1-1/2 hours.
• After 1-1/2 hours spoon any Worcestershire sauce (if any) back on the roast that has accumulated on the bottom of the casserole.
• Using hands press the brown sugar well into the meat on all sides making certain to adhear the sugar to the meat.
• Pour the apple juice into the bottom of the casserole.
• Cover tightly.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
• Place the roast in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature down to 200 degrees F.
• Roast for about 4 hours or until the meat is falling-apart tender (cooking time will vary depending on the size of the roast).
• Stir the salt and black pepper into the juice (do not omit the salt!).
• Slice meat as desired.

FALL-APART ROASTED PORK SHOULDER WITH ROSEMARY, MUSTARD AND GARLIC

Steps:

• In a small food processor combine the garlic, anchovies, rosemary, salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and process until it forms a paste, scraping down the sides. Remove the blade and use a fork or spoon to stir in the mustard. Rub the paste all over the pork shoulder, loosely cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate from 2 to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F and bring the pork to room temperature while the oven heats. Place the pork in a shallow roasting pan and roast, uncovered, for 30 minutes, until the top starts to brown a bit. Turn the heat down to 250°F and continue to cook, uncovered, for 6 to 8 hours until the middle of the roast registers 180°F. on an internal thermometer, and as you slide the thermometer in you can feel that the meat is very tender throughout. If there are juices in the pan (and I have found that sometimes there are and sometimes none) pour off the juices from the pan into a heatproof container, like a Pyrex measuring cup. Place this in the fridge, where the fat will rise to the top, while the meat rests.
• When the meat is cooked, if you think that the outside of the roast could use a bit more crust/brownness, turn the heat back up to 450°F and let it cook for another 15 to 20 minutes, to give the outside a bit more of a crunchy texture.
• Remove from the oven and let sit for about 20 minutes. Spoon the fat off the reserved juices in the fridge and pour the cooking juices into a serving pitcher or bowl (warm it a bit in the microwave or in a small pot if you like). Slice the pork as thinly or thickly as you like, knowing the meat will fall apart at least slightly. Sprinkle the sliced meat with a bit of salt before serving, and pass the pan juices on the side to drizzle over.

CATHERINE'S SIRLOIN TIP ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Secure roast with cooking twine.
• Make 8 (1/2 inch) slits around the roast, and insert 1/2 garlic clove into each slit. Sprinkle with fresh ground pepper. Place on a rack in roasting pan.
• Roast in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F, and insert meat thermometer into roast. Continue cooking about 1 hour, or to desired doneness; remove from oven. Loosely cover with foil, and let roast stand 15 minutes before slicing.
• To serve, slice thinly against the grain, and use pan drippings for gravy.

DAN'S FALLIN' APART PORK POT ROAST WITH CRACKED PEPPER GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a mortar, smash together 1/4 cup of garlic powder, 1/4 cup of onion powder, the crushed red pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper until the mixture forms a fine powder. Place the spice mix into a large shallow bowl.
• Inject the pork roast all over with the Creole marinade; blot moisture from the outside of the roast. Rub the spice mix all over the pork roast to thoroughly coat. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook and stir the shallots and elephant garlic until the garlic becomes lightly golden brown. Sear the coated pork roast in the hot butter on all sides until the spice coating is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Place the roast into a roasting pan or Dutch oven with the fat side up; scrape up the butter, cooked shallots and garlic, and sprinkle around the roast. Arrange the sweet onions, red potatoes, carrots, and celery pieces around the roast. Mix 1 cup of water with the remaining spice rub, and pour evenly over roast.
• Cover the roasting pan with a lid, and cook in the preheated oven until the meat is very tender, 3 3/4 to 4 hours.
• Remove the roast and set aside on a serving platter; surround the meat with the cooked vegetables. Whisk 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, and the brown gravy mix together with 2 cups of water in a bowl, and whisk the mixture into the liquid left in the roasting pan. Place the pan over medium heat, and cook, whisking constantly, until the gravy has come to a boil and has thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve alongside the roast and vegetables.

LOW'N SLOW METHOD FOR ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• 1) Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• 2) Brush or spoon over all roast surfaces the Worcestershire sauce and the beef boulion.
• 3) Put roast in hot oven to brown, oncovered, for 30 minutes. (Turn over half-way through. If the juices start to burn on the bottom of the pan, add a bit of water). Take roast out of oven.
• 4) Turn oven down to 225 degrees F.
• 5) While roast is browning, put the thyme and rosemary in a small bowl and crush up. Add remaining spices and mix together.
• 6) Sprinkle dry spices all over all roast surfaces. Add about ½ cup water to roaster, cover, and cook for 3 to 4 hours, basting roast with pan juices occassionally.
• When roast is done, take it out of roaster and put on serving plate to rest. Cover roast lightly with foil, and put a doubled up tea towel or small bath towel over the roast to keep it warm. If you are making Yorkshires, now is the time to turn the oven up to cook them. Covering the roast with a towel will keep it warm while you cook the Yorkshires, or while you make the gravy and mash the potatoes. Slice the roast just before serving.

ROAST PORK BUTT OR SHOULDER

Steps:

• Let the meat come to room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Combine the garlic powder, pepper and salt in a small bowl and rub it all over the meat. Place the pork on a roasting pan. Pour 1/4 cup chicken broth into the pan. You want the liquid to fully cover the bottom of the pan, so add more for a larger pan.
• Roast for 40 mintues. Remove from the oven, place the meat on a cutting board and cover with foil.
• Increase the oven to 475°F.
• When the oven comes to temperature, return the roast to the oven for 15 mintues, until a golden crust is formed and the internal temperature registers 145°F.
• Remove from the oven and carve into thin slices.

FALL APART PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
• Coat roasting pan in non-stick spray (optional - it helps in removing the roast).
• Put 1/3 can of pork (or chicken) base into the bottom of the pan.
• Add hard cider to the pan.
• Lightly Coat pork roast in dry rub, saving about 1 tbsp for later. Choose your favorite. I used a rub called "Butt Rub", made specifically for pork.
• Place roast in pan and drench with another 1/3 can of broth - discard the rest.
• Chop celery and carrots into 1" long chunks (carrots may need to be halved) and add around the sides of the roast.
• Chop green onions into 1/2" bits, and sprinkle around the outside of the roast, over the other veggies.
• Reduce oven heat to 200 degrees.
• Cover roast with aluminum foil.
• Place roast in oven, and roast for 90 minutes.
• After 90 minutes, baste roast, and add minced garlic, onion powder and half of the remaining dry rub to the top of the roast.
• Re-cover roast and place back in the oven for another 90 minutes.
• After the second 90 minutes, re-baste roast and remove foil.
• Sprinkle the remaining dry rub and paprika on top of the roast.
• Roast uncovered for another 30-45 minutes or until internal temperature is 170 degrees F.
• Remove roast from the oven, and slice thick. Serve veggies from the roast on the side.

EASY FALL OFF THE BONE OVEN-BAKED RIBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 275° Fahrenheit (135C).
• If the ribs still have the thin membrane covering the back of the rack, remove it. See how in the notes section below.
• Season both sides of the ribs with a generous amount of salt and pepper. If you are using a spice rub, add season the ribs with it now. Place the ribs, meat-side up, into a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. (It may be necessary to cut the ribs in half for them to fit into the pan).
• Cover the pan or baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil, and then bake until the meat falls easily from the bones, 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours. We like to check the ribs after 2 hours to see how they are progressing. The ribs are done when the meat is cooked through and tender.
• While the ribs bake, make the barbecue sauce. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
• Add the ketchup, hot chili sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine, season with salt then cook for 2 minutes. Set aside in preparation for the ribs to finish roasting.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, discard the aluminum foil and generously brush both sides with barbecue sauce.
• Optional: Move an oven rack near the top of the oven. Turn broiler to high and broil the ribs for 3-4 minutes, just until the barbecue sauce begins to caramelize. (Keep a close eye on the ribs while they broil so the sauce does not burn.)
• Store baked ribs, in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze, wrapped in foil or freezer paper and in an airtight container, for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator, and then reheat.
• To reheat the ribs, wrap in foil or parchment paper and place into a 300°F oven until warmed through, about 30 minutes. If you have some leftover, slather some extra sauce that's been warmed over the ribs before serving.
