Da-Le Ranch

I have been purchasing meats from Da-Le Ranch for almost a month now. My family and I have been very satisfied with the quality of the meats. Having been a former organic market meat fan, I can honestly say that I have been much happier with Da-Le's selection & price. Dave, who is always full of great information, informed me that the pork roast I purchased would need to be tenderized & marinated. I wanted to share this great recipe I used. It is very easy and most importantly, delicious!

TENDERIZE with McCormick Meat Tenderizer (I rubbed the tenderizer all over the roast). I then took small slices of garlic & fresh ginger, rolled them in the tenderizer and inserted them into puncture holes all over the roast.

MARINADE (combine all ingredients to make aprox 4 cups)

1 large white onion -- minced

1 cup fresh lemon juice

1 cup seasame oil

8 tablespoons light soy sauce

8 cloves garlic -- crushed

4 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

8 tablespoons honey

8 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley (I used fresh pineapple sage)

I marinaded the meat for two days makeing sure I flipped the meat for full marinade coverage.

I chose to smoke the pork roast, however, at this point, roasting or grilling would work as well. We smoked it at 250 degrees until the meat reached 145. We also use mesquite chips for flavoring (adding chips 2 more times). The roast came out AMAZING! It was very flavorful & super moist. I placed another order for more.

Also, if you love chicken, Dave has whole chickens fresh or frozen. It is the best chicken I have ever had.
