The sirloin is cut from the hindquarter of the pig, near the hip. It’s a large, relatively lean muscle with a nice fat cap. The meat is tender and, as the fat renders during cooking, it becomes very juicy.
Sirloin roast is best prepared simply to allow the incredible flavor of our pasture-raised Ossabaw Island pork to shine. We recommend coating it with your favorite herbs and spices then slow roasting in a 300°F degree oven until it reaches an internal temperature between 140 and 145°F. You can then place it under the broiler for a few minutes to get the exterior nice and crispy.
The low and slow cook will make the meat extra tender, while still sliceable. Serve alongside a fruit chutney and your favorite vegetables and sides.
Each Plumb Rocky Farm pork sirloin roast weighs roughly three pounds which is enough to serve six to nine people.
