To make pork knuckle in beer, start with a large pork knuckle seared in a hot pan to seal in the flavor and juices. After that, the pork knuckle is cooked in a pot with beer, onions, carrots, celery, and a variety of herbs and spices. For several hours, the pot is simmered on low heat until the pork is tender and the beer has reduced to a thick, flavorful sauce.
