350 degrees
celery on bottom
garlic cloves pressed into roast
salt and pepper
Lawreys seasoned salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 

Cook uncovered

Arrange the onions in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Pour in the beer. 
Place the roast, fat side down, on top of the onions. Cover the pan with foil. 

(fat side up)

Roast 1 hour in the preheated oven. Remove foil, turn roast, and score the 
fat. Continue roasting 2 1/2 hours, or to a minimum internal temperature of 
145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove from heat, reserving pan juices, and 
let sit about 20 minutes before slicing thinly. 

Remove your pork roast from the oven when its actual temperature is 
5 to 10 degrees below its target temperature (145 F).

In a saucepan, bring the reserved pan juices to a boil. Mix in the butter 
and cornstarch to thicken, reduce heat, and simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Serve 
with the sliced pork.
