  • Stir together oil, caraway seeds, mustard, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a small bowl until a paste forms. Rub over pork roast and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Arrange onions in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Pour in beer. Place roast, fat-side down, on top of onions. Cover the pan with foil.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove foil, turn roast, and score fat. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of roast reaches at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 2 1/2 hours. Transfer roast to a cutting board and let sit for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pour pan juices into a saucepan. Whisk in butter and cornstarch; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until gravy is hot and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Slice pork roast and serve with gravy.
