Oven Roasted Rack Of Pork (Pork Rib Roast)
Oven Roasted Rack Of Pork (Pork Rib Roast)
Notes
There are a few simple rules for roasting meats.
- Let the roast come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Roast at high temp 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes (30 minutes for roasts larger than 10 pounds)
- Reduce oven temp to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and cook approximately 15 minutes per pound till the desired doneness.
- Cook meat uncovered in your roasting pan
- Always roast fat side up
- Use a meat thermometer to make sure the roast is at the temperature you desire.
- Remember your roast will increase in temperature approximately 10 degrees after removing from oven.
- Medium Rare 145 degrees F; Well Done 160 degrees F.
Ingredients
- 1 7-8 bone center cut rack of pork the weight on this roast will vary. Using a meat thermometer will ensure its cooked properly.
- ¼ cup dijon mustard, stone ground mustard or olive oil
- ¼ cup sea salt & black pepper I used Montreal Steak Seasoning
- 2 carrots -rough cut
- 1 small onion-rough cut and include skins
- 2 stalks of celery- rough cut
- 6 cloves garlic peeled
Copycat Montreal Seasoning (Or just buy premade Montreal Steak Seasoning)
- 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon dill seeds
- 1 tablespoon granulated onion
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
Instructions
- preheat oven to 450 degrees
- In a roasting pan add your rough cut vegetables and garlic
- rinse the rack of pork well and pat dry
- place rack fat side up, on top of cut veggies
- apply a liberal amount of mustard (or olive oil) rubbing it into the top of the roast
- sprinkle entire rack with sea salt, pepper, garlic, and onion or just use my personal favorite Montreal Steak Seasoning instead of the other seasonings.
- **Add one cup of water to the bottom of the pan before roasting.
- place pan in preheated 450 degrees F oven for 15 minutes.
- after 15 minutes reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and continue to roast for 1½ – 2 hours or until internal temperature has reached 160 degrees for well done or 145 degrees for medium.
- Remove the Rack from the oven placing on a cutting board and allow to rest for 10- 20 minutes before slicing the meat. This will allow all the juices to remain in the rack, rather than have them run all over the plate, making the meat dry.
- While the rack is resting, place 2 cups of water in the roasting pan and place on the stovetop on medium heat (or back in the oven) and with a spoon loosen all the baked-in meat scraps from the pan, making your pan gravy.
- Strain out all of the vegetable pieces and any residue
- Cut the rack along the bones, making even portions of the pork, serve with your pan gravy and your favorite sides!
