Notes
you can safely cook pork to 140 degrees, but I don't like any pink in my pork so I cook to 160 degrees.
If you want to try elevating this rub add a lot of finely minced garlic 8-10 cloves) and caraway seeds to the mix, I also use a coarse salt or sea salt.
sounds great Aly
I have a 3lb roast,. How long should I cook it??
Hi Lisa, I’m guessing about 1 hour. It does depend on the thickness of the roast. Use a meat thermometer to take the guess work out of it and cook to 160º F
Was fabulous, purchased rack of pork at costco, easy and delicious.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe Margie!
This looks delicious. I’m going to make it this weekend.
Enjoy Greg!
This looks lovely, but if I may make a suggestion, use some Tony Chachere’s Original Creole season where you would ordinarily use salt, add some garlic powder, and a TON of coarse-ground black pepper. Tony’s has enough salt in it (with some other goodies) that you won’t need additional salt….BUT: for some extra fun, lightly sprinkle the roast with just a bit of coarse-ground sea salt.
The best thing about a pork rib roast is you can do just about anything you want with it and if you start out with good pork, you’re going to end up with something amazingly delicious.
We just tried this recipe- it was spot on. Thank you so much. I’ll be making it again.
