Cooking Instructions

 

London Broil/ 6 lbs.

Broil or Grill: Cook from a thawed state. Preheat broiler grill according to manufacturer�s instructions. Place meat in broiler pan or on grill for 8 minutes. With tongs, turn and cook for approximately 8 more minutes. To test doneness, press spatula on meat, if spongy, cook until meat feels firm. Do not overcook- this meat is very lean and will dry out if overcooked. Also very good if marinated for 8-12 hours in your favorite marinade (ex: teriyaki, Italian dressing, etc.).

Rib Roast, 14lb. Bone-In Prime

Thaw roast in the refrigerator. Always using a meat thermometer for accurate doneness since all oven temperatures vary. Insert meat thermometer into the middle of the thickest part of the roast, making sure that it does not touch the bone. Place roast fat side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. We recommend a Combined Heat Method of cooking. First sear the meat at 500� for 15 minutes, then continue to cook at 350° for 20-25 minutes per lb. (medium rare) or until meat thermometer registers 140°. Remove from oven, and let roast stand for 10-15 minutes before carving (meat thermometer should register 145 �).

Adjust time for desired doneness. Allow roast to rest for 5-10 minutes before carving.

Crown Roast Of Pork With Apple Dressing

Preheat oven to 300�. Cook frozen. Remove roast from the bag and place on a rack in a shallow pan, with the ribs pointed up. To prevent the dressing from drying out, make a cap of aluminum foil and place over the dressing and the top half-inch of the ribs. Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 3 hours, then increase oven temperature to 350� and bake an additional 1 hour or until the timer pops up. Cooking time may vary in some ovens. To insure that your roast is properly cooked, we suggest you check it with a meat thermometer. Put thermometer in the center side portion of the roast (this is the thickest part of the meat). Your roast is fully cooked at 170�.

Remove the roast from the oven and allow to stand 15 to 20 minutes before serving. At this time prepare the gravy following the instructions on the package. Remove foil cap and decorate the roast with the enclosed chop holders. For a most impressive meal, place the roast in the center of a large serving platter with the side dishes around the roast. To carve, slice down between each rib with a sharp knife. DO NOT keep it frozen for more than 30 days, for it will lose the fresh delicate flavor of sweet young pork.
