KRUSTENBRATEN VOM GRILL MIT BIERSAUCE
(GRILLED CRUSTY ROAST WITH BEER SAUCE)
Ingredients for 4 persons
2kg pork shoulder with thick skin
coarse sea salt
1 small bottle of beer (33 cl)
2 tablespoons of grill spice mix of your choice
Preparation
The trick of the crust roast is the checkerboard-like structure that is created when the skin is cut crosswise. This increases the surface area of this layer of fat so that the heat of the grill has better access. First, make parallel cuts diagonally and about two centimeters apart with a sharp chef's knife. Then offset them by 90 degrees to create a checkerboard pattern. How deep you can cut depends on the thickness of the skin/bacon layer. It is important that you do not cut all the way through the meat. Otherwise, the actual roast could dry out and get too much salt.
Sprinkle coarse sea salt generously into the cut spaces between the fat. The salt extracts some of the liquid from the fat and helps to make the crust crispy. Let the salt soak in for about 20 minutes. Afterwards, most of it will be removed. To do this, simply turn the roast over and shake it gently. However, some salt may remain in it. If you are using a charcoal grill or an oven (220°C), you should start heat it now.
In the meantime, take care of the marinade. For the special juiciness and the delicious beer taste, your crust roast will be "inoculated". Mix the beer with the spices and inject the liquid into the meat with a marinating syringe. One filling (about 40 ml) is enough. Use the rest of the marinade later to brush the meat. Choose the fat gaps created by cutting into the meat as the puncture points. Choose about ten such points and spread the marinade evenly over the roast.
Place the roast in a shallow grill or oven tray and place it in the center of the grill or oven. Because temperature and heat distribution are different in every grill, we recommend using a grill thermometer. This little device will tell you exactly how the temperature inside the roast is developing and when the perfect cooking point has been reached. Then it doesn't matter whether you use a charcoal, a gas grill or an oven.
Now the roast must cook for approx. one and a half to two hours. After one hour, start brushing the roast with the remaining marinade every 15 minutes. The roast is done when the crust has browned nicely and the core temperature has reached 70 to 75 degrees. At this point, pour the remaining marinade into the grill pan and let the crusted roast rest with the lid open for five to ten minutes.
Serve with boiled potatoes and sautéd spring onions.
