Description:
When winter’s chill is in the air and you’re yearning for a hearty, savory meal, this Garlic Grilled Pork Roast is the ultimate comfort food. Perfectly cooked using the indirect charcoal method, this roast is a celebration of pork’s rich flavors. The trick to achieving the juiciest, most tender roast lies in the final touch of beef broth. Even if your grill tends to overcook (we’ll just blame it on the grill, shall we?), the broth will infuse the meat with moisture, enhancing its flavor and keeping it succulent. This recipe is ideal for those who cherish a deliciously juicy roast with a smoky grill flavor.
Ingredients:
- 3-4 cloves garlic, slivered
- 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth, warmed
- 3 teaspoons garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 pork roast (preferably a fattier cut for better flavor and juiciness)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Grill: Begin by setting up your charcoal grill for indirect cooking. Arrange the coals on either side of the grill, leaving the center free of coals. Light the charcoal and allow it to heat until the edges start to gray. This indirect method ensures even cooking and a perfect roast every time.
-
Prepare the Roast: While the coals are heating, take your pork roast and use a knife to poke small holes all over the meat. Insert slivers of garlic into these holes, spreading them throughout the roast. This will infuse the pork with a rich garlic flavor as it cooks.
-
Season the Roast: Season the roast generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Feel free to use your favorite seasonings if you prefer.
-
Grill the Roast: Once the coals are ready and the grill is set up, place the roast in the center of the grill, making sure it is not directly over the coals. Close the lid of the grill slightly askew to allow for a small amount of air circulation. Grill the pork roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes, turning it 2 or 3 times during cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
-
Add Beef Broth: Once the roast is cooked to perfection, remove it from the grill. Pour 1/2 cup of warmed beef broth over the meat, allowing it to soak into the roast and enhance its flavor. Let the roast rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
-
Serve: Slice the roast and spoon some of the remaining beef broth over the meat. This step adds extra moisture and flavor, making each bite irresistibly juicy. Serve immediately and enjoy the succulent, garlic-infused goodness.
