My Lovely Pork Roast (Rib Tip)

Jujucooks's Note:

Made this for some friends this weekend and it was delicious! I used the rib tip because the bone gives it so much flavor and moisture, but the garnishing can be used on any pork roast. Enjoy!

• Total Time: 2 hrs 45 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme (divided)
• 4 garlic cloves (or as many as you wish)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil , plus a little for the seasoning
• ¼ cup Dijon mustard

Directions:

1. Garnish the piece of meat in advance; it will give the flavor a lot more depth.
2. Pat the roast dry with a paper towel.
3. With a long thin knife, insert the cloves of garlic into the meat--two by the bone and the other two through the top of the meat.
4. Rub a little olive oil on the surface;.
5. Add salt and pepper, making sure you cover every sides.

I did everything as written, except I only had dried thyme and I also added a bit of ground sage. The roast was juicy and delicious, easy to prepare. The times listed in the recipe are right on. I did not have a chance to marinate the meat the full 5 hours, so I am looking forward to the next time I make this recipe with the overnight marination. Thanks for posting
