Pork Rib Roasts are not often found in the supermarket isles, but you can usually call ahead and order or just ask your butcher for one. The ends should be Frenched, which is cutting the meat away from the end of each rib, exposing the bone. The butcher can do this for you also.

We purchased a whole pork rib roast and cut it into two portions. We were considering making a crown roast and decided to go with the double pork rib roast with the ribs crossed for a more simple presentation.

This recipe will work with a single or double roast.

How to Make Pork Rib Roast:

Drizzling maple glaze

Prepare the maple glaze: Add pure maple syrup, granulated garlic, black pepper, smoked paprika, kosher salt and chopped rosemary to a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and cook 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

Set pork on the counter at room temperature for 1 hour before grilling. If you are cooking a double roast, you can tie the ribs together with twine or use two long skewers to hold the roasts together.

Cut slits in the pork over the meaty part of the roast. Brush with maple glaze over all sides.

Prepare grill or oven to 300.

Smoking a pork rib roast

For the grill: Place over indirect heat and close the lid. Cook for 1 hour and brush with remaining maple glaze. Continue cooking about 1 1/2 hours or until internal temperature reaches 145 for medium and 155 for well done.

Smoked and grilled pork rib roast on the grill

We used pecan to add a delicious smoke flavor to our roast. Hickory or oak are also great options.

For the oven: Cook on a baking sheet, uncovered for 1 hour, then brush with maple glaze. Continue to cook 1 1/2 hours or until internal temperature reaches 145 for medium 155 for well done.
