Oktoberfest Pork Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; brown the pot roast on all sides in the hot Dutch oven, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Mix the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, garlic, and nutmeg together in a small bowl; spread evenly over the browned pot roast. Layer the onion slices atop the pot roast. Pour the beer and beef stock over the pot roast; season with salt and black pepper. Cover the Dutch oven.
• Roast in the preheated oven until completely tender, about 3 1/2 hours. Remove the cover from the Dutch oven during the final 20 minutes of cooking time. Transfer the roast to a platter, and cover with aluminum foil; allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• While the meat rests, whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl; stir the cornstarch slurry into the juices left in the Dutch oven. Place the Dutch oven over medium heat; bring the gravy to a low boil, and cook and stir until thickened. Serve on the side as gravy, or slice the beef and pour over the slices on a platter.

Steps:

• Place beans in a Dutch oven or soup kettle; add water to cover by 2 inches. Brin to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine sage, salt, pepper, allspice and cayenne; rub over roast. In a Dutch oven, brown roast in oil on all sides; drain.
• Drain beans and discard liquid; stir parsley into beans. Place beans around roast. Stir in broth.
• Cover and simmer for 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 150.
• Place apples and onions on top of beans; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until beans are tender and meat thermometer reads 160-170. Let stand 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
