Directions

  1. Cut rows of deep slits into both sides of pork butt using a sharp knife, insert a garlic clove into each slit. Rub vegetable oil over pork butt.

  4. Wrap the seared pork butt tightly in aluminum foil.

  5. Preheat the roaster or oven to 265 degrees F (130 degrees C).

Recipe Note

I serve this to guests during the summer and is one of my favorites especially if feeding a crowd! I use the Smokin' Jack BBQ Sauce recipe on this site!
