Add vegetable broth and beer to the pan, then place the pork knuckle on top.

Roast in the oven for about 2 hours, basting occasionally.

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 30 minutes to crisp the skin.

Check the internal temperature; it should reach at least 160°F (70°C).

Remove the pork knuckle and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Serve with mustard, sauerkraut, and boiled potatoes.
