INSTRUCTIONS
PREP THE ROAST
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels and trim, if needed.
- Coat the roast with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Allow the roast to sit at room temperature for 45 minutes.
PREP THE GRILL
- Prep your grill for a 2-zone fire by arranging lit charcoal to one side of the grill. Add the grill grates and clean and oil them.
ADD THE HERB CRUST:
- Mix the minced herbs and garlic in a small bowl
- Gently pat the herb mixture evely all over the meat, coating as best you can.
GRILL THE PORK ROAST:
- Place the roast on the grill, on the cooler side of the grill, and close the lid. Check on the roast every so often, flipping to get even seat marks all over – but allowing the bones to take the brunt of the heat by facing them towards the hotter side of the grill, so that the meat doesn’t dry out.
- Cook until the pork roast registers 140 degrees F with a digital thermometer.
- Remove the pork roast from grill and cover with foil to rest.
- Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
SERVE:
- Slice the pork roast along the bones to make individual servings and serve hot.
