Ingredients
- 2 6-8 bone Standing Pork Rib Roasts about 6 pounds each
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves Removed from stems
- 1 Tablespoon fresh sage finely diced
- 2 teaspoon fresh Rosemary finely diced
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Cloves garlic Minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- If the bones have not been Frenched, carefully cut about 1 inches of meat from around the ends of the bones. Make sallow slits between each of the rib bones.
- Tie together the end bones from one end each of the roasts, using butcher's twine. Form into a circle with the bones facing out and secure the other 2 end bones together.
- In a small bowl, combine the diced herbs, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil and mix to make a paste.
- Rub the inside and outside of the rib roast with the herb paste.
- Preheat your smoker, grill, or oven to 250 degrees and set up for indirect heat.
- Place the pork crown roast in a cast iron pan or roasting pan and cook until it reaches and internal temperature of 140 degrees. The crown roast should take roughly 20 minutes per pound or about 4 hours, but be certain to monitor the internal temperature.
- When the pork crown roast is done cooking, remove it from the smoker and rest for about 5-10 minutes. Slice the crown roast between the bones into individual pork chops and serve while warm.
