A marinated pork roast is a succulent and flavor-packed dish that captivates the senses with its tender texture and rich, savory aroma. As it slowly cooks, the meat absorbs the complex flavors of the marinade, creating a mouthwatering contrast between crispy, caramelized edges and juicy, melt-in-your-mouth interiors. The marination process elevates the roast, infusing it with layers of taste that range from smoky and spicy to tangy and sweet, depending on the blend of seasonings used. This hearty dish makes for a memorable centerpiece at any gathering, offering a perfect balance of bold flavors and satisfying satisfaction with every bite.
Marinated Pork Roast
Marinated pork roast is a flavorful and tender dish that combines the richness of slow-cooked pork with the depth of its marinade. The process of marinating the meat allows it to absorb a variety of flavors, enhancing its natural taste and ensuring a juicy, succulent texture.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
- ½ teaspoon mustard seed
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 (4 pound) pork roast
- cooking spray
Instructions
- In a large resealable bag, combine Worcestershire sauce, honey, vinegar, lemon pepper, mustard seed, mustard powder, celery salt, and garlic. Seal the bag and shake well to blend all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Add the pork roast to the sealed plastic bag, press out any excess air, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Turn the roast occasionally to ensure it is evenly coated with the marinade as it soaks in.
- In the meantime, set up the grill for indirect heat, ensuring one side is hotter for searing and the other cooler for slow cooking.
- Brush the grill grate with a light coat of oil. Place the roast on the grill, discarding the marinade. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), ensuring the pork is fully cooked and tender.
