Cooking Tips
Country Rib Roast for the Grill:
Cooking time: about 2 hours
Temper your pork roast for at least one hour before cooking.
Lightly oil the outside of the roast and gently brown it on a medium
hot grill. This will take about a half hour, and be careful not to
rush it. When the roast is nicely browned, place it on the side of the
grill, rib side down and cover the grill. If your grill does not have a
lid, cover the roast with a large mixing bowl. Check the roast every 20
minutes or so, turning as necessary. The object at this point is to be
cooking your roast slowly and evenly.
The roast is done when it is nicely browned, at least 150 degrees in the center. It's important to let it rest for at least twenty minutes after it comes off the grill before slicing.
*Optional- When the roast comes off the grill, take the ribs off by clipping the string and severing them from the loin. This should be easily done with one stroke, holding the knife parallel to the ribs and following the natural pocket between them and the loin. Cut the rib rack into individual ribs and brown these on the grill while the roast is resting. Serve each guest a crispy rib on top of the slices of loin- grilled pork doesn't get any better.
Lamb Sirloin Roast for the Grill
Cooking time: about 45 minutes
Temper your roast for at least one hour before cooking Lightly oil the outside of the roast and gently brown it, fat side down on a medium hot grill. Turn your roast and brown the meat side well, then move the roast off to the side of the grill. Partially cover the grill, and turn the lamb as needed to prevent scorching. Cook to 120 degrees internal, let rest for at least ten minutes, and slice. Enjoy!
