A succulent and flavorful cider-brined pork roast grilled to perfection, accompanied by tender grilled potatoes and onions. The brine infuses the pork with a hint of sweetness and a touch of rosemary, creating a delightful dish for your BBQ gatherings.
Ingredients: 1 pork roast approximately 3 lbs. 4 cups apple cider. 1/2 cup kosher salt. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon black peppercorns. 4 sprigs fresh rosemary. 4 large potatoes, quartered. 2 onions, sliced. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: In a large bowl, combine apple cider, kosher salt, brown sugar, minced garlic, black peppercorns, and fresh rosemary to create the brine. Place the pork roast in a large resealable bag or a deep dish, and pour the brine over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork roast from the brine and pat it dry with paper towels. Let it come to room temperature while you prepare the vegetables. In a bowl, toss quartered potatoes and sliced onions with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place the pork roast in the center of the preheated grill and arrange the seasoned potatoes and onions around it. Grill the pork roast, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145F 63C, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. During the last 30 minutes of grilling, baste the pork roast with any remaining cider brine for added flavor. Once the pork is cooked through, and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, remove everything from the grill. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the cider-brined pork roast slices with grilled potatoes and onions on the side. Enjoy your delicious BBQ creation!
