Celebrate Oktoberfest by Traegering a meal inspired by Germany's Bavaria. Serve this succulent pork roast with potato cakes and roasted, cinnamon dusted apple wedges. Just add Apple Cider, Hef or a bock on the side.
Ingredients
1 (3 lb) pork loin roast
1 onion, diced
2 Clove garlic, minced
1 Bottle (12 oz) bottle beer, preferably a German lager
1/4 Cup honey
2 Tablespoon coarse-grained mustard
1 Teaspoon caraway seeds
1 Sprig fresh dried thyme
As Needed Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub
Steps
1
Place pork, onion and garlic in a large resealable bag.2
In a mixing bowl, combine beer, honey, mustard, caraway seeds and thyme. Add to the pork and onion.3
Refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.4
Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade in a saucepan. Place the pork in a roasting pan, fat-side up and season with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub.5
Meanwhile, bring the marinade to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce by half.6
When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 350°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.7
Place the roasting pan with the meat directly on the grill grate. Roast uncovered, fat-side up, for 1 hour. Pour the reduced marinade over the pork and continue to roast for 30 to 60 minutes, basting 2 or 3 times with the marinade, or until the internal temperature of the pork is 145°F and the meat is nicely glazed.8
Let rest for 7 to 10 minutes before slicing and serve with the pan juices. Enjoy!
