Dutch Oven Pork Roast is an easy yet delicious dinner. This roast tastes amazing and smells amazing while cooking.
We have had a great holiday break. I did a bunch of brain storming and I have some great ideas for a new year. I felt like I was starting to drag.
But I am now refreshed and ready to bring you some great recipes, gardening posts, and a new series. I will explain more in a post later this month.
First, I have two recipes for my menu for this month. Both these recipes go right along with the new series I’m starting. The first recipe I’m sharing with you is Dutch Oven Pork Roast.
The roast turned out very delicious and juicy. And the gravy was the best I’ve ever made. It got high reviews from The Hardworking Husband.
This recipe pairs great with Roasted Potatoes and Butternut Squash & Quinoa.
Dutch Oven Pork Roast
Dutch Oven Pork Roast is an easy yet delicious dinner. This roast tastes amazing and smells amazing while cooking.
Ingredients
- 3 lb pork shoulder or butt
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325. In a dutch oven, heat olive oil on stovetop.
- In a small bowl, mix together all dry ingredients. This is your rub for the pork roast.
- Rub (or pat onto) entire roast with mixture.
- Place in the hot olive oil. Turn to sear each side. Entire roast should be seared including ends.
- Combine chicken stock, lemon juice and soy sauce.
- Pour over roast.
- Cover and place in oven. Cook for 2 hours or until roast is tender.
- Remove roast, allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- Cut and serve.
- Enjoy.
Notes
The juice left behind can be used for making gravy. Place dutch oven back on burner and turn heat to medium. In a small bowl mix together 2 Tbsp cornstarch and 2 Tbsp cold water. Once cornstarch is dissolved add to dutch oven. Mix and cook until thickened. You can add more cornstarch as needed, just dissolve in cold water before adding to gravy.

It's in the over right now. I omitted the soy sauce and lemon juice and added 1/4 white wine.

I just made this and it was exceptional! I was so relieved that I found a recipe that delivered like this! I had a 4.75lb. roast so I just rounded up on the ingredients and time. It was perfectly tender. Gravy was good just a little salty, any ideas on how to mitigate that? Thanks!!!

@Kurt, if cooking liquid is too salty, (remove/reserve half the liquid) and try adding salt free/low sodium chicken or veg bullion to add flavor and incorporate water to dilute until the flavor is where uoh want it. If yoh need to add some of the reserved liquid back you can add as much or as little as you want.

@Kurt, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. To mitigate the saltiness, you can use low sodium soy sauce and chicken stock.

I just cooked this roast (and gravy) in a cast iron dutch oven... very good, tender. Gravy was tasty, too. Didn't have chicken stock, vegetable stock worked fine.

How would you adjust cook time if roast was bigger? Like 9-11lbs. Thanks

I haven't cooked one that big. However, I would guess that it would need 4-5 hours. Cook until instant read thermometer reads 165 degrees.

Can you add potatoes in the Dutch oven to cook with the pork? If so when should you add them?

Yes, Sandy, you can definitely add potatoes! I would put them in at the beginning, and they should cook great! Enjoy!
