Ingredients

Pork meat: 1 kg (2.2 lbs)
Olive oil: 3 tbsp (45 ml)
Beer: 1.5 ml (0.05 fl oz or roughly 1/3 tsp; note: this seems very small, possibly a typo—did you mean 1.5 L or 150 ml?)
Balsamic vinegar: 3 tbsp (45 ml)
Salt: 2 tsp (10 g)
Black pepper: 2 tsp (5 g)
Garlic powder: 2 tsp (6 g)
Fresh thyme: 2 tsp (2 g or roughly 4-6 sprigs)
Brown sugar: 1 tbsp (12 g)

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 450-degrees F. (230C)

In a dutch oven (or an oven safe heavy bottomed pan with tight-fitting lid), heat oil over medium-medium high heat.

When oil is rippling, brown pork roast a couple of minutes on each side.

Whisk together beer, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and brown sugar; pour over pork roast (Or you can pour everything directly into the pan and add beer as shown in the video).

Cover and bake in 450-degree F (230C) oven for 30 minutes, then lower oven temperature to 355-degrees F (180 C) and continue to bake for another 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Chef's Note

• If the beer measurement (1.5 ml) is correct, it's a tiny amount. If you meant 1.5 liters (common for recipes), that's 1.5 L (50.7 fl oz or about 6.3 cups).

• Let me know if you need clarification or adjustments!

Finally, at the end of the process, we'll have a wonderful juice which can be added back to the pork.
