Summertime roasts are generally a stupid idea. Oven temperatures heat up your house, which will make you fussy and can lead to arguments with your wife. I will tell you however, cows are being killed all year round, and if you can throw a rib eye on the bbq, why not 4 rib eyes still connected to each other?

I’ve been watching a lot of Mad Men lately and really had a hankering for some of Betty Draper’s pork roast. I’ve been using this technique for roasts lately. Gets them all crusty and well seasoned without burning the herbs or garlic. Every time someone burns garlic on a pork roast a pig angel loses it’s wings. Then the human angels get bacon, which they like, but it’s no good for you and your family.
