Oven Roasted Coffee-Rubbed Pork Shoulder
Oven-roasted Pork Shoulder has coffee rubbed all over it and it is absolutely one of the best-tasting roasted dishes you will ever have! It is so flavorful, moist, and tender, no one will think it is made with just a handful of ingredients and a Dutch oven. The coffee-crusted pork is seared and then roasted for hours to get that fall-off-the-bone tenderness that is to die for!
Ingredients
- 1 5 to 7lb Bone-in pork shoulder or pork butt
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/4 cup Coffee grounds
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp Cayenne
- 1 cup Beef broth
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- In a small bowl combine ground coffee, brown sugar, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and pepper. Take your pork shoulder and place it on a baking sheet or large plate, and pat dry. Take the coffee seasoning and rub it all over the pork.
- Next, take a large Dutch oven and preheat it to medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the Dutch oven. Sear the pork shoulder on both sides for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beef or chicken broth to the Dutch oven and place it into the oven uncovered to cook for about 20 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees and cook the pork (uncovered) for another 4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees. Once you start cooking the pork at 250, I would check the temperature every hour or so to gauage how fast the pork is cooking. Depending on how much fat you have on the pork shoulder it could take less or more time. Also, if you need to add more broth to the bottom of the Dutch oven that’s okay. Once it's reached the desired temperature, remove the pork from the oven to rest at least 10 minutes before serving.
