Remove from refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking.
Place porchetta in a roasting pan. Roast in a 350° oven until the center reaches 150° internal temperature. Allow to rest at least 30 minutes. For porchetta weighing less than 3 pounds, we suggest pan searing the two exposed sides prior to roasting in the oven.
Picanha Roast
There are many ways to tackle this cut…One that works well is a reverse-sear. In either an oven or hot smoker set to 250° , bring the roast to 95-100° . Next, transfer, fat cap down, to a sauté pan over med-low heat and allow fat to render, basting as you go. Reduce heat and/or finish roast in oven/smoker if fat is getting too much color. For med-rare, take to 127-130° then rest for 25-30 minutes.
For maximum tenderness, slice thinly, opposite the direction of the meat fibers (against the grain).
