Garlic Stuffed Pork Roast Recipes

GARLIC STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Fire up the grill!
• We have gas so I heat it up on High for about 10 min.
• Then turn to low.
• If useing Charcoal sear then cook over indirect heat.
• I use a paring knife to cut slits into the meat on the fatty side.
• Approximately 18 holes (kinda like golf huh).
• Insert at least 1 slice of garlic per hole, I try to get it into the middle of the loin.
• Rub loin on all sides with Creole Seasoning.
• Grill approx 15 minutes, roll it over and baste with beer.
• Continue grilling, approx every 15 minutes roll 1/4 turn and baste with beer.
• Usually takes about 45- 60 minutes (depends on grilling heat) Check with meat thermometer,@160 degrees F remove from heat, cover and let rest for 10-15 minutes.

GARLIC-STUFFED PORK ROAST WITH GLAZE

Steps:

• Make small slits all over in the roast then stuff whole or half garlic cloves into each slit.
• Rub the roast with olive oil.
• In a small bowl combine the sage with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper; rub the roast all over with the spice mixture.
• Place the roast in a roasting pan, then let sit out on the counter for a few hours.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Set oven rack to middle position.
• Roast for about 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (the temperature will rise more after removing from the oven).
• For the glaze: while the roast is cooking in a small saucepan combine the sugar with cornstarch, vinegar, water and soy sauce; bring to a simmer over medium heat stirring occasionally.
• Cook until bubbly and thickened.
• Brush the roast 3-4 times during cooking.
• The last 30 minutes of cooking pour the remaining glaze over the roast.
• Allow the roast to sit for about 10 minutes before slicing.

ROASTED PORK WITH SAGE, ROSEMARY, AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Using a long knife with a thin blade or a clean sharpening steel, make a channel lengthwise through the center of the loin running from one end to the other.
• Mix the chopped sage and rosemary in a small bowl. Add the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon oil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then poke it through the channel in the meat (I find it easiest to work from both ends more or less at once).
• Season the outside of the loin generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the loin. Brown the meat on all sides and on each end, about 8 minutes in all.
• Add the herb sprigs and crushed garlic to the pan and put it in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the loin and roast 15 minutes more, basting from time to time with the pan drippings.
• Remove the pan from the oven, cover with foil, and set aside in a warm place for 15 minutes to rest the meat. To serve, cut the loin into generous slices, season with sea salt, and drizzle with the pan juices.
• Chef's notes:
• If you are roasting a larger, thicker loin, make two channels through the meat so the seasoning can be better distributed. Cook the loin longer.
• If you want, you can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. I prefer pork cooked so it's still a little pink at the center. You can expect a reading before the final resting of about 135°F. If you like your pork more thoroughly cooked, cook it until the internal temperature reaches 150°F.

CHEF JOHN'S GARLIC-STUDDED ROAST PORK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Cut about 6 holes per side into pork roast with a sharp knife and insert garlic clove halves into the holes. Rub roast with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season all sides of roast with kosher salt and a generous amount of black pepper, Italian seasoning, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Place into a roasting pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Turn off the oven with roast inside and leave it to rest for 1 hour. Refrigerate meat overnight.
• Cut cold pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices. If any garlic appears on the cut surface of the meat, pick it out so it doesn't burn. Season slices with salt.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat and sear pork slices in the hot oil until browned and crusty, about 10 minutes per side.
• Toss lettuce with tomatoes in a bowl and drizzle with red wine vinegar; toss again to coat.
• Heat beans in a saucepan over low heat. Layer about 1/3 cup white beans into a large, shallow soup plate; top beans with a slice of pork shoulder and about 1/4 cup lettuce mixture.
