So, back to Coke Butt. Not a very appetizing name, I know… Perhaps "Boston Butt ala Cola" is better? Or "Butt Surprise"? "Butt Bonanza"! O.k. whatever… Call it what you like, just call it GOOD.
I made this last week and it almost changed my religion. It was amazing.
Enjoy.
COKE BUTT
4-4.5 lb. Boston Butt roast
1 – 12 oz. can or bottle of Coca-Cola
½ cup of soy sauce
1 Tblsp. oil
1 medium onion, peeled and halved, then thinly sliced
Trim excess fat then salt and pepper meat and sear/brown all sides in hot oil in a cast iron pan or Dutch oven, about 3 minutes each side.
Take meat out and put in 6-quart crock pot.
Sautee onion in pan with meat drippings until clear. Add coke and soy sauce and scrape all the brown bits on bottom pan.
Pour coke/soy sauce/onion mixture on top of meat, put lid on crock pot and set to low for 10-11 hours, turning twice.
Take meat out and pour liquid in Pyrex cup to cool so you can separate fat. After skimming fat strain the mixture and use as “au jus.”
This makes great BBQ (just flake apart and add sauce...my fave is Montgomery Inn, you can sometimes find it at Wal-Mart of all places) and is also good in soft tacos.

Holy Cow -- I had no idea you like Montgomery Inn that much! Guess what you're getting for Christmas!
That sounds GOOD and it would be fun to shock dinner guests/small children with the name.
sounds good! I like the names you came up with. I am going to edit one a bit- let's call it "Effervescing Butt Surprise"
That way it sort of covers the "coke" part in a disgusting way. And people will be surprisingly pleased with how well something with such a terrible name tastes!
