BRINE FOR ROAST BEEF RECIPES

Steps:

• sprinkle salt and pepper on the roast.
• place roast in a large zip lock bag and place in the fridge for 4 hours
• remove roast from the fridge and add another (think layer) of pepper on the fat cap.
• slice 5 small holes in roast and insert garlic cloves
• add roast to disposable tin pan and add to pellet smoker set at 250 degrees
• after 4 hours (or until roast hits 130 degrees) remove roast from pellet smoker
• wrap the beef roast in foil, wrap in towel and rest for 30+ minutes.

Steps:

• Measure the vinegar into a saucepan and bring to a boil. In a sealable plastic container, combine the salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, and mustard powder.
• Pour the hot vinegar into the container, and stir to dissolve. Let stand for about 10 minutes to develop the flavors, then add the ice cubes. Cover and shake, or stir until melted. Remove the lid and add pork chops to the brine. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Cook pork chops as desired. Pan fry or grill for about 15 minutes over medium-high heat, turning once. They will be juicy and moist.
