Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Pat pork shoulder dry with paper towels, especially the skin.
Step 3
Mix salt, pepper, caraway, marjoram, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Step 4
Rub spice mixture all over the pork, pressing it into the meat and under any skin flaps.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 6
Sear the pork skin-side down until the skin browns and blisters, 6–8 minutes — do not move it.
Step 7
Flip and sear the meat side 4–5 minutes until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer pork to a large roasting pan, skin-side up. Set skillet aside.
Step 9
Roast pork at 425°F for 15 minutes, then lower heat to 325°F (165°C) and roast 45–50 minutes more until internal temp reaches 190°F at the thickest part.
Step 10
Remove pork to a cutting board. Tent with foil to rest 10 minutes.
Step 11
Set the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add sliced onions and scrape up any browned bits, stirring for 3–4 minutes.
Step 12
Pour beer into the pan, scraping the bottom. Let it simmer 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 13
Add stock and mustard, stirring until smooth. Simmer 3–4 minutes until sauce coats the back of a spoon.
Step 14
Slice pork, transfer to a warm platter, and pour sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh marjoram.
