Sunnys 12th District Pork Rib Roast Recipes

SUNNY'S GRILLED BREWED AWAKENING RIB ROAST WITH SUNNY'S 1-2-3 HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• For the brine: In a large bowl, add the coffee, salt and 4 cups warm water and stir to dissolve the salt. Add the rib roast. (If the liquid does not cover the meat completely, either make sure to flip the roast halfway through brining, or transfer the brine to a large turkey bag, add the rib roast and then seal tightly so the roast is completely surrounded by the brine.) Brine, refrigerated, at least 8 hours and up to 12.
• For the rub: In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, ground coffee, brown sugar, parsley, sage, paprika, garlic powder, salt, white pepper and a nice grind or two of black pepper.
• Remove the roast from the brine and pat it as dry as possible with a paper towel (discard the brining liquid). Using your hands, coat the roast on all sides with the rub, gently massaging it into the flesh. Let rest on the counter to come to room temperature, about 2 hours.
• For grilling and serving: Place a drip pan under the grates on a grill and pour in the beer. Heat the grill to medium high (300 to 400 degrees F).
• Place the roast bone-side down directly on the grill over the drip pan on indirect heat. Close the grill and cook until medium rare (120 degrees F), about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Remove from the grill and cover with aluminum foil to rest for a real 20 minutes.
• Slice between the ribs and serve, or cut the meat off the ribs in a chunk and slice from there. Serve with Sunny's 1-2-3 Horseradish Sauce.
• In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, horseradish and Worcestershire. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

BREWED AWAKENING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• For the brine: In a large bowl, add the water, salt, and coffee. Stir to dissolve the salt and add the rib roast. If the liquid does not cover all of the meat, flip the roast halfway through the marinating time. Or, consider pouring the marinade into a large plastic bag, adding the rib roast, and then sealing tightly so that the roast is completely surrounded by the brine. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• For the rub: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, sage, paprika, parsley, garlic powder, white pepper, bread crumbs, coffee grounds, salt, and a nice grind or two of freshly ground black pepper.
• Remove the roast from the refrigerator and discard the brining liquid. Pat the roast dry with a paper towel. Using your hands, coat the roast on all sides with the rub, gently massaging it into the flesh. Let it rest on the counter to come to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Place in a roasting pan and put it in the oven. Cook until medium-rare, 125 degrees F, about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover lightly with aluminum foil while the meat rests, 15 minutes. Slice between the ribs and serve.

PORK RIB ROAST WITH APPLES, FENNEL, AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Score rib-roast fat cap with the tip of a paring knife in opposite directions, to create a 1/2-inch crosshatch. Prick roast all over with knife tip at approximately 1-inch intervals, about 1 inch deep. Generously season with salt and pepper, rubbing it into meat with your hands. In a bowl, stir together mustard, soy sauce, chopped rosemary, and coriander and fennel seeds.
• Rub mixture all over pork. Let stand at room temperature at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours, or loosely cover and refrigerate up to 1 day (return to room temperature at least 1 hour before roasting).
• Preheat oven to 450°F. In a saucepan, combine potatoes and enough cold water to fully submerge them. Bring to a boil. Season with 1 tablespoon salt and boil until tender and easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Using a flattened palm or the bottom of a measuring cup, flatten potatoes slightly (but keep them intact).
• Transfer potatoes to a large roasting pan with onions and fennel. Toss with 2 tablespoons oil, season with salt and pepper, and spread in a single layer. Scatter rosemary sprigs over vegetables. Place marinated pork in center of pan, atop vegetables.
• Roast 15 minutes. Meanwhile, core and quarter apples and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Scatter apples into pan and continue cooking until vegetables are tender and a thermometer inserted in center of roast registers at least 135°F, 1 hour, 15 minutes to 1 hour, 45 minutes more, depending on size.
• Transfer pork to a carving board, loosely cover, and let stand 20 minutes; discard rosemary. Turn oven off and return vegetables to oven to keep warm. Carve pork and serve with vegetables and more mustard.

RANCH-RUBBED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix all over the pork loin. Season with the pepper. Let rest at room temperature for up to 2 hours. Add 2 tablespoons oil to a large (12-inch) ovenproof saute pan and, just when the oil begins to swirl, add the pork loin and sear on all sides until golden, about 3 minutes each side. Remove to a plate. Toss the potatoes in the oil left in the pan. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Rub into the pork on all sides. Then place back into the pan and into the oven and surround with the sweet potatoes. Bake, stirring the sweet potatoes once or twice, until the pork is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are softened, about 40 minutes for medium. Remove the meat to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Skim off the excess fat from the pan. Toss the sweet potatoes with the Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing. Keep warm until ready to serve.
