Known to chefs and pitmasters alike as the ultimate shoulder cut for pulled pork, our boneless Boston butt is expertly prepared by our butchers, removing skin and bone to give you a ready-to-cook, flavour-packed joint with maximum yield.
What is Boston Butt?
Despite the name, Boston Butt comes from the upper shoulder of the pig– not the rear end! It’s a well-marbled, hardworking muscle, full of flavour and ideal for slow cooking, smoking, roasting, or braising. When cooked properly, it pulls apart with ease and melts in the mouth.
Boneless and skinless– more meat, less prep:
- Ideal for slow cookers, smokers, or ovens
- A favourite cut for pulled pork, tacos, and stews
- Suitable for freezing or batch cooking
Recipe Inspiration: One Cut, Endless Possibilities
Need a few ideas? Here are some irresistible ways to turn your Boston Butt into a masterpiece:
Classic BBQ Pulled Pork
Rub your joint with a smoky paprika and brown sugar dry rub, then cook low and slow in the oven or smoker for 5–6 hours. Shred and mix with tangy BBQ sauce. Serve in soft rolls with coleslaw and pickles.
Mexican-Style Carnitas
Season your Boston Butt with oregano, cumin, garlic, lime, and orange juice, then slow-cook until tender. Crisp it up in a pan before serving in warm tortillas with salsa, avocado, and coriander.
Asian-Inspired Pork Shoulder Stew
Simmer chunks of pork shoulder with soy sauce, ginger, star anise, and rice wine, and serve over jasmine rice or noodles with spring onions and sesame seeds.
Slow-Roasted Italian Pork
Stud your joint with garlic and rosemary, then roast slowly with white wine and fennel for a juicy, herby dish that pairs beautifully with roasted potatoes or polenta.
