Pork Shoulder Without Bone

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and adjust the racks to accommodate the size of your roasting pan.

2. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary to create a flavorful rub for the pork shoulder.

3. Place the boneless pork shoulder on a clean cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps the rub adhere to the meat better.

4. Rub the spice mixture generously over the entire surface of the pork shoulder, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

5. In a large roasting pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the seasoned pork shoulder on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6. Once seared, pour the chicken broth into the roasting pan around the pork shoulder. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful throughout the cooking process.

7. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil, ensuring a tight seal to prevent moisture from escaping during cooking.

8. Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and let the pork shoulder cook for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

9. Halfway through the cooking time, remove the foil to allow the top of the pork shoulder to brown and develop a caramelized crust.

10. Once the pork shoulder is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing or shredding.

11. Serve the tender and juicy pork shoulder with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
