A special cook - Prime rib of pork
« on: September 23, 2017, 05:07:29 PM »
Recently, I had the pleasure of cooking a pretty special piece of meat and being new here I thought I would share this cook.

Last Xmas my BIL gave my wife and I a Prime Rib of Pork from Snake River Farms.  I had an idea that this might be a memorable piece of meat so I was saving it for something special.  Well, it seemed like that was never going to happen and I didn't want him to think that we had forgotten it so last week I decided it was high time.  He and his wife were free so a cook date was set.

I thawed the 7.7 pound roast and coated it with the rub recommended by SRF - Then I vacuum sealed it for an overnight in the fridge.

The next morning after an hour on the counter I cranked up the MAK and applied some smoke for 35 min. and then cranked it to 335*.  I pulled it at 135* IT in the thickest part (SRF recommendation) at the 2 hr. 15 min. mark.  I tented loosely for 25 min. and started carving.  The minute I hit it with the knife I knew it was tender and it cut easy peasie.

So in the end two 69-yr olds and two 71-yr olds thought it was the best tasting pork we had ever eaten.  It really was OMG good!  I have already started saving for another roast.

It's a shame that we have bred all the fat and flavor out of our pigs.  This was so different from the pork available locally now that it was like night and day, a huge difference. 

Anyway, if you ever have the opportunity to eat some Berkshire (Kurobuta) pork, don't pass it up.  Thanks for looking.

It looks superb. 

For those of you who may want to shop for one, it's also called a bone-in pork loin.  It's the center section of a pork loin.

Thanks all for the comments. Much appreciated. Do try Kurobuta if you ever get the chance; you won't regret it.

That truly looks fantastic. I totally agree about breeding the fat out of pork, what a shame.
Very nicely done.

My Costco get these in a lesser quality but still delicious, Hormel pork rib roast.  Can't go wrong for $2.99/lb.

Looks terrific! 
Not Berkshire pork, but Costco carries racks of pork during the Thanksgiving-New Year period every year.  They'll be gone soon.  Cooking one today that's been in the freezer from last January.
