Herb Crusted Rack of Pork

Have you ever stood in the meat aisle at a grocery store and thought a cut of meat looked fun but overwhelming? How do I season it? How do I cook it? Will it be tough?

Yes, I have.

I took the plunge this Valentines and bought a rack of pork. It turned out lovely thanks to my new, digital meat thermometer. 

 It's real simple. Coat with herbs and roast until the temperature reaches 145.

Let pork rest for 5 minutes so the juices can slowly go back into the meat.

Go here for the recipe.

I roasted the pork on 450 for 15 minutes to brown the outside and then

turned it back to 350 until the temperature read 145.

Have you cooked a rack of pork before?

A rack of pork is bone-in, fresh pork loin.

Pulled Pork BBQ

Well, here is the second barbecue
recipe within two weeks. 

Summer must be on my mind.

I was trying to think of a way to

do pulled pork barbecue

 within an hour and found

a recipe online that said you

can cook it on your stove top.

Sometimes when I cook it's good,

but not quite what I had imagined.

Tonight was a night the 

imagination turned out right. 

 I bought a 2.5 lb. pork tenderloin and cut it into 

smaller pieces so it would fit in my kettle.

Mix together rub and sprinkle on all sides.

 Add a quarter inch of olive oil to your kettle and

sear all sides of the pork until browned.

 Then drain oil off of the pork and add...

Beer. Yes, it's beer. Beer is a wonderful way to tenderize meats. 

 Beer tenderizes by penetrating and breaking down fatty and non-fat tissues. 

The alcohol burns off during the cooking process, yielding a flavorful 

taste and rich color to any meat.

 Pour the beer over your pork, at first it will be foamy.

Leave your burner on medium and cover your kettle.

Simmer for 1 hour.

This is what you will find after an hour.

Remove pork from skillet and start...

 ... pulling the pork apart with forks.

Add to your simmering barbecue sauce.

Let simmer a few minutes.

Spoon on a bun and top with some slaw.

It's bound to make someone happy.

Barbecue Ribs

I love anything barbecued.

Ribs, chicken and all sorts of things.

This is a rib recipe I have used for

years, and it's so good I don't

try any other rib recipes.

I fixed ribs for Joshua's birthday

one year when we were dating

and have kept the recipe ever since.

Mix together rub ingredients and sprinkle on

all sides of the ribs. Let set 2 hours.

I just had 30 minutes to spare and that worked fine.

After baking 1 hour at 300, drain off grease.

Top with your barbecue sauce and

bake at 350 for 1 hour more.

Savory and delicious.

 Run get your fork and dig in.

Barbecue Ribs

1 large rack of Pork Spare Ribs

Rub

1 Tbsp. salt

2 Tbsp. pepper

3 Tbsp. brown sugar

Mix together and rub on all sides of the the ribs.

Let set for 2 hours.

Place ribs in a large roasting pan and add 1 inch of water.

Cover and roast at 300 for 1 hour.

Drain the grease and top with the barbecue sauce

Barbecue Sauce

  

1 cup ketchup

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 tsp. liquid smoke

1/4 tsp. red pepper

1 tsp. ground mustard

2 Tbsp. orange juice

Increase oven temperature to 350 and bake another hour.

The ribs should pull apart easily with a fork.

If they do not they need to be roasted longer.

Some ribs are thicker than others.

If you roast two racks of ribs in one

roaster you will need to roast them

1 hour longer on 350 and flip them half way.


Before I've used the large pack of ribs from Costco.
I would recommend them. These were small boneless
ones from IGA. If you get the large pack
of ribs from Costco, you will need to double this
recipe. There are two racks in each pack. 

I usually save a little barbecue sauce

to heat and top the ribs with when they

come out of the oven. 

Enjoy,

Hope
