Crockpot Asian Bourbon Boston Butt Roast
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
1- 2 to 3 pound boneless Boston Butt Roast
2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger powder
salt and pepper
1/2 cup bourbon
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup chicken stock
cold water
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Rub roast with salt and pepper in a 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown meat on all sides in oil. Transfer meat to a crock pot.
Add remaining oil and garlic. Add bourbon, soy sauce, ginger powder and chicken stock. Pour mixture over roast in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 4 1/2 to 5 hours or on low for 9 to 10 hours, or until meat falls apart with a fork.
You can actually use to make sandwiches like pulled pork or make a meal with rice and use the juice for a gravy.
For a roast dinner:
Transfer roast to a meat platter; cover and keep warm. Pour 3 cups of the juices into a medium sauce pan. Over medium heat, bring to a boil. Make a paste of 4 tablespoons of cold water and the 3 tablespoons of corn starch to thicken for gravy. Add into the boiling hot broth continue to boil and stirring until thickened.
To serve, carve meat and spoon some sauce over. Serve with jasmin rice and vegetables. If you would prefer to make pulled pork, take two fork and pull the meat apart.
Place just the meat into a large deep bowl and add your favorite barbecue sauce, mixing the meat and sauce all together then serve on a hard roll or bun.

This looks awesome. I never would have thought of doing an Asian twist on pulled pork.
ReplyDeleteThat is fall off the bone!! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis sure is timely, I am thawing a pork roast right now! I was not sure what I was going to do with it, but I wanted something different from the usual pork carnitas. Asian does sound like a nice change and I like the suggestion of having it over rice. Thanks Claudia-I am sure I will be enjoying this soon!
