Ingredients

Recipe by Jamie Purviance

Rub

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 pork rib roast, about 6 pounds with 8 ribs, frenched

Sauce

  • ¼ cup whole-grain mustard
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • ? teaspoon kosher salt
  • ? teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

Method

  1. Combine the rub ingredients. Season the roast all over with the rub, using more on the meaty parts. Allow the roast to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.

  2. Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (350° to 450°F). 

  3. Grill the roast over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed,until a thermometer inserted into the center reaches 145°F, 1½ to 2 hours, rotating and turning over every 30 minutes so the roast cooks evenly. Remove the roast from the grill, tent with foil, and let rest for 15 to 30 minutes (the temperature of the roast will rise 5 to 10 degrees during this time).

  4. Meanwhile, whisk the sauce ingredients. Cut the roast into slices and serve warm with the sauce and grilled brussels sprouts, if desired.
