Ingredients
 

  • 2 lb pork rib roast, 1 kg
  • 5 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 tbsp thyme
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp white pepper, adjust to taste

Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet or baking dish
  • 1 meat thermometer

Instructions
 

  • Season the roast at least 1 hour prior to cooking and preferably 2-8 hours prior to cooking.
  • To season the roast score the fat cap on the pork rib roast about 1/4 inch deep in a criss-cross pattern. To do so, on the fatty side of the pork rib roast make 1/4 inch deep diagonal cuts every inch. Then turn the pork rib roast a quarter turn and make 1/4 inch deep diagonal cuts the other way. This will help the seasonings penetrate the meat.
  • Place the grated garlic, pepper, salt, and thyme in a bowl and mix together.
  • A pork rib roast seasoned with salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic.
    Using your hands, a spoon or spatula, spread the seasoning blend all over the pork rib roast, pressing into the cuts on the fat cap.
  • Cover with saran wrap and let sit for 2 to 8 hours in the refrigerator, removing 1 hour before cooking.
  • When it is time to cook, turn on the oven to 140C/275F.
  • Once the oven reaches the temp place the pork rib roast on a baking sheet or baking dish.
  • Roast in the over for 90 min. We achieved an internal temp of 140F at this point.
  • Next, turn on the broiler and brown the roast for 5-15 minutes 8-12 inches from the broiler.
  • Pork rib roast fresh out of the oven.
    Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • This garlic and thyme pork rib roast is easy and incredibly flavorful.
    To serve, cut along the rib bones to remove the pork rib meat in a full piece. Then slice 1/2 inch thick cuts.

Notes

Using a meat thermometer is always helpful when cooking such a large cut of meat.  Pork rib roasts should be cooked to at least 145°F (63°C), the minimum safe temperature.  Cooking to 155°F-160°F will result in medium-well cooked texture.
