PORK RIB RECIPE OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees, The key to a good pork Roast is to LOCK IN THE JUICES BY ROASTING AT A HIGH TEMPERATURE to form a crust on the outside, & then LOWERING THE TEMPERATURE TO COOK LOW AND SLOW. This recipe is for those of you that think I only make large quantity recipes. This one only serves 4, or more if you decide to share the thick cut chops.
• Combine the spices of your choice in a small bowl, then sprinkle and rub liberally over the entire roast. I like to spray roast with a little cooking spray also once it is seasoned. Spray a shallow roasting pan with non stick cooking spray.
• Add roast to pan, then place in preheated 450 degrees F. oven and Roast for 15 minutes. Then LOWER THE TEMPERATURE to 275 degrees F. and roast for 2 hours, or until pop up timer pops out if there is one or the internal temperature reaches 145-155 degrees F. The temperature will continue to rise about 10 degrees or so once removed from oven.
• Allow Roast to rest about 10 minutes, tent top with foil. Then WITH A VERY SHARP KNIFE, SLICE BETWEEN EACH RIB BONE, DOWN TO THE BASE. If the base was not cracked before hand you will need to work your way around the base to get each chop loose. But it is much easier if the base bone has been cracked by the butcher at the store level. As you can see I did get the chops separated but not without a lot of effort on my part. The Moral of the story is to ASK THE BUTCHER TO CRACK THE BASE BONE AT STORE LEVEL, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE ON SALE. IT WILL MAKE YOUR JOB SO MUCH EASIER AT THE DINNER TABLE. Smile

Steps:

• Mix the paprika, garlic power, brown sugar, dry mustard, and salt together in a small bowl. Rub the spice blend all over the pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Put the pork in a roasting pan and roast it for about 6 hours. An instant-read thermometer stuck into the thickest part of the pork should register 170 degrees F, but basically, what you want to do is to roast it until it's falling apart.
• While the pork is roasting, make the barbecue sauce. Combine the vinegar, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring, for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Take it off the heat and let it sit until you're ready for it.
• When the pork is done, take it out of the oven and put it on a large platter. Allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes. While it's resting, deglaze the pan over medium heat with 3/4 cup water, scraping with a wooden spoon to pick up all of the browned bits. Reduce by about half. Pour that into the saucepan with the sauce and cook 5 minutes.
• While the pork is still warm, you want to "pull" the meat: Grab 2 forks. Using 1 to steady the meat, use the other to "pull" shreds of meat off the roast. Put the shredded pork in a bowl and pour half of the sauce over. Stir it all up well so that the pork is coated with the sauce.
• To serve, spoon the pulled pork mixture onto the bottom half of each hamburger bun, and top with some slaw. Serve with pickle spears and the remaining sauce on the side.
• Combine the cabbage, carrots, red onion, green onions, and chile in a large bowl. In another bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, and sugar. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently to mix. Season the cole slaw with the celery seed, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Chill for 2 hours in the refrigerator before serving.
