Pork shoulder party!

Making:

Pork shoulder steak with red onion sauce, roasted red skin potatoes & sugar snap peas

2 servings prepared 

Here's what I have:


Vegetables:
24.1 oz Red skin potato 
1 tsp Baking soda 
1 tsp Salt 
1 tsp Pepper 
1 tbsp Garlic paste 

15 oz Sugar snap peas 
0.3 oz Butter 
Salt/Pepper - to taste 


Protein:
48.6 oz Pork shoulder
6.9 oz Red Onion 
16 oz Beef broth 
2 oz Worcestershire sauce 
2 tbsp Brown sugar 


Preparation: 

The redskin potatoes were boiled first for 15 minutes and baking soda and salt. Next they were drained and the garlic paste salt and pepper were added. These were then placed in a oven on convection setting at 325 degrees for 15 minutes.

Using my instant pot the pork shoulder was combined with the beef broth, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce.  The pot was set for 30 minutes cook, 15 mins pressure release. Once the steak was finished it was removed and transferred to a small pan. It would be placed in the oven to broil for about 10 minutes. While the steak is broiling the pot was set to saute setting and the red onions were added the liquids in the pot were cooked until reduced into a sauce.

The sugar snap peas were steamed for a total of 10 minutes towards the end of cook time on the potatoes and pork. 


The plate!

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter.  I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature.  The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot.  The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter.  Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
