Garlicky Prime Rib and Rosemary Rack of Pork
This recipe makes 4 servings
Think big when you're entertaining this summer and grill a succulent roast of beef or pork to satisfy a crowd. Just close the lid on a herb-and-garlic-coated roast and entice guests with intoxicating aromas as it cooks slowly over indirect heat. For the rack of pork, buy an eight-rib roast; have your butcher chine (remove the backbone) or saw between the ribs for easy carving.
Ingredients
- Garlicky Prime Rib:
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 tbsp peppercorns
- 1 tbsp dill seeds
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 prime rib premium oven roast, (about 8 lb/3.5 kg)
- Rosemary Rack of Pork:
- 1 rack of pork, (loin rib end roast) about 4 lb (2 kg)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, finely grated
- 1 tbsp sweet paprika or smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Preparation
2- Set foil drip pan under 1 burner of 2-burner barbecue or under centre of 3-burner barbecue. Heat remaining burner(s) to medium. Set roast, bone side down, on greased grill over drip pan. Close lid and grill until meat thermometer inserted in centre registers 140°F (60°C) for rare, about 2-1/4 hours, or 150°F (65°C) for medium-rare.
3- Transfer to cutting board. Tent with foil; let stand for 10 minutes. To carve, hold ends of ribs up and slice off ribs, cutting as close to bones as possible. Place meat on board, cut side down; carve across the grain into thin slices. Separate ribs by cutting between bones.
Makes 12 servings.
1- Rosemary Rack of Pork: Insert long metal skewer lengthwise through centre of pork roast; move skewer back and forth to widen slit to about 1 inch (2.5 cm). In small bowl, mix together rosemary, garlic, onion, paprika, salt and pepper.
2- Spoon one-quarter of the seasoning paste into slit at each end of roast, pushing paste with handle of wooden spoon to distribute evenly. Rub remaining paste over outside. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
3- Grill roast, as for prime rib above, until just a hint of pink remains inside and thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 160°F (70°C), about 1-1/2 hours. Transfer to cutting board. Tent with foil; let stand for 10 minutes. Carve between bones into chops.
