HONEY DIJON PORK ROAST

Ingredients:

• Butter – Salted or unsalted butter for searing the pork
• Broth – Chicken, beef, vegetable, or bone broth
• Mayonnaise – Any mayonnaise of your preference (or substitute with plain Greek yogurt)
• Honey – A decent quality unflavored honey is best
• Apple Cider Vinegar – Adds a nice acidity to the sauce (or substitute with rice vinegar, red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, or white vinegar)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. In a small bowl, mix dijon mustard, garlic, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
3. Pat dry the pork butt/shoulder with a paper towel. Rub the pork all over with the mustard seasoning mixture.
4. Heat a skillet over high heat. Add butter and oil. Once hot, carefully add the pork to the skillet and sear for about 30 seconds on each side.
5. Transfer the pork to an oven-safe dish. Pour apple cider vinegar and broth around the pork. Cover the dish with foil.
6. Bake for about 2 1/2 – 3 hours until the pork is fork-tender. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees. When done, remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
7. In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients to make the honey dijon sauce.
8. Slice the pork into 1/4″-1/2″ slices and serve with a drizzle of the honey dijon sauce. Enjoy!

Bon appétit!
