• Place pork on work surface. Trim off all but 1/4-inch layer of fat from roast. Turn roast over so that rib bones point up. Using boning knife and starting where meat meets rib bones, gradually cut loin away from rack of bones, leaving 2 inches of meat attached to bones (do not cut meat off bones completely). Tie meat back onto bones with kitchen string at 2-inch intervals. Place roast in brine, submerging pork completely and weighing down with heavy pot if necessary. Cover and refrigerate 5 days.
• Remove pork from brine; discard brine. Rinse pork under cold running water for 5 minutes to reduce saltiness; pat dry with paper towels. Place pork on rack set over sheet of foil; let stand at room temperature 2 hours.

MUSTARD-AND-HERB-CRUSTED PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Brine the pork: Combine 4 cups water, the salt, sugar, garlic, bay leaves, juniper berries, peppercorns and cloves in a large pot or wide Dutch oven (large enough to hold the pork). Heat over medium heat, stirring, until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add 8 cups ice cubes; stir occasionally until the brine is cooled.
• Make small deep cuts, about 2 inches apart, all over the pork and between the ribs using the tip of a paring knife. Add the pork to the pot and submerge in the brine; add more cold water if needed to completely submerge. Refrigerate overnight.
• Set a rack in a roasting pan and put the pan on the lowest oven rack; preheat to 325 degrees F. Remove the pork from the brine, pat dry and set aside to bring to room temperature. Remove 3 cups brine (along with the spices) to a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove the hot roasting pan from the oven and carefully stand up the pork on the rack with the chine bone down. Add the hot brine to the bottom of the pan. Roast until the fat is mostly rendered, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the crust: Pulse the panko, butter, scallion, parsley, thyme and juniper berries in a food processor until the herbs are coarsely chopped and the mixture is combined.
• Remove the pork from the oven and reposition so it is meat-side up; brush the top and sides with the mustard, then sprinkle with the panko mixture, patting to adhere. Return to the oven and roast 50 more minutes.
• Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and continue roasting until the crust is crisp and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, about 20 more minutes. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes before carving.

PRIME RIB ROAST W/ HORSERADISH CREAM

Steps:

• To select your roast:.
• Selecting the proper grade is essential; Look for a USDA choice grade rib roast or a brand name rib roast (such as "Certified Angus") in the supermarket meat case; or ask your butcher to specify the "small end" of the rib roast - the most tender part.
• Preparation of Rib Roast:.
• Arrange oven rack in lower third of oven; Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Trim beef rib roast of excess fat, leaving a thin layer.
• Rub the roast with salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Arrange roast, rib bones down, in a shallow roasting pan; (Do not add water or cover pan); insert an oven-safe meat thermometer in thickest part of the roast, not resting in fat or touching the bone (this will stay in the entire roasting time).
• Roast 2 hours 15 minutes, or until the meat thermometer's temperature reaches 130 degress F.
• Transfer roast to a carving board, and tent loosely with foil; let stand 15 minutes (temperature will continue to rise to reach 135 degrees F).
• Zesty Horseradish Cream:.
• While roast is resting combine all ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate until serving time.
• To Carve Your Roast:.
• To begin, place the roast on it's larger side on a cutting board, the bones will be towards your stomach; You may need to trim the bottom side (the one that is now resting on the cutting board) to ensure that it lies flat on the cutting board.
• To carve the first slice, insert a meat fork, tines facing downwards, below the top rib bone, in front of your stomach; make a horizontal cut from the opposite side towards your stomach/fork/bone (across the top).
• Now cut along the rib bone, from the top (not the rib bone side), to release the meat from the bone.
• Slide the knife back under the slice, steady it with the fork, and lift it onto your serving platter.
• Repeat for each slice, and serve with a dollop of horseradish cream.

HERB CRUSTED PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Rub the prime rib all over with some veggie oil. Season both sides of the meat with an aggressive amount of salt, including the end caps. You want a generous amount all over so it helps form a crust while cooking. Continue seasoning with some pepper(not as much as the salt), and a good amount of fresh herbs all over the meat. Use a knife to cut slits of the top side(fat side) of the meat. Make the cuts just big enough to stuff the garlic cloves all around. Ideally, let the roast marinate uncovered overnight in the fridge. This will help infuse lots of flavor and help form a great crust. Alternatively, you could let the roast come up to room temperature for 1-1.5 hours with the seasoning on before you cook it.
• Pre-heat oven to 325 F and setup the oven rack so the roast will sit on the bottom rack. Put the prime rib on a roasting rack in a pan. Insert a probe thermometer in the deepest part of the meat(don't touch the bones), and roast in the oven for 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130 F(120 F for medium rare). You may need to add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the roasting pan if the fat starts to smoke.
• While the meat is cooking, make the butter by adding all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Butter can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for 1 week.
• When the meat reaches 130 F, take it out of the oven and loosely cover it with tin foil. Let rest for 30-60 minutes so the juices can re-distribute. Slice the meat, top it with the butter and enjoy!
