I rarely leave a review on any of the recipes. But, this was amazing and I had to say thank you for sharing this recipe!! I followed the recipe exact however, I put the roast in the crock pot and cooked on low for 8 hours. It melted in your mouth. My family couldn't get enough of it. I just mixed up all the ingredients in a bowl.. cut slits in the meat, spooned some of the marinade into the slits and poured the rest over the top of it. im already wanting to make it again!!!
We absolutely loved this! The rub and the marinade gave the pork great flavor. I roasted the pork shoulder exactly as stated in the recipe and then refrigerated overnight. The next day I cut the pork into chunks and cooked in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes to get a nice crust and served as carnitas with homemade black beans and cilantro lime rice. Wonderful recipe!
Cuban Style Pork Roast Haiku: "So, this was awesome! I used a monster pork loin, just changed baking time." Followed the recipe and ingredients as written, but adjusted the baking time, just watching my meat thermometer, removing the pork at 145 deg. to rest, b/c taking it out at 170, as indicated by the recipe directions, would've resulted in a very, very dry piece of pork. Delicious rub and marinade, and the leftovers made fantastic Cuban sandwiches!
My review is based on the rub and the marinade which are excellent. I used different time and temperature & also used a sirloin bone-in pork roast instead of a pork shoulder. I would encourage someone to make this exactly according the recipe (unlike me) and I am sure you will not be disappointed. An internal temperature of 170 will give you meat that can be sliced, cook to 190 and it is more like pulled pork. Great flavor and I will be making this again. Thanks!
Made this for a dinner party and my guests are still talking about how good it was. I followed the recipe exactly as listed but only cooked to 145 degrees inside. I love pork and this roast was the best I have ever made or tasted. Thanks for the recipe! I served it with winter squash.
There are no words for how good this roast tastes. I made this for dinner tonight and everyone was blown away. my only change was I cooked it all day on low in a slow cooker while I was at work, which made it even easier. I served with rice and the Cuban black bean recipe also on All Recipes site. I thought I was in Miami.
I made this recipe as written. All I can say is WOW! The roast had a lot of flavor and was easy to make. I will definitely make it again.
I love all forms of pork and this recipe is top-notch! The marinade and rub has a unique and delicious flavor. I served it with Fried Plantains plus Black Beans and Rice.
Restaurant quality! Ive made this exactly as written and also used a pork butt roast and converted it to a crock pot. Both were outstanding! For the crock pot pork butt ... I didn't have time to marinate and cook so it just cooked in double liquid for 6 hrs. I then put it on a roasting pan and broiled it for 5 minutes to brown. It was amazing!
Loved the flavor but agree with others reviews that 170 is too high. I would make this again but next time will lower the heat and only cook to an internal of 140 - 150.
