There's nothing more visually stunning on your holiday table than an Omaha Steaks Pork Crown Roast. This easy prep brings out the pork's flavor with a rich garlic rub and complements it nicely with perfect baby potatoes.

Ingredients

1 Pork Crown Roast
2 lbs. baby red potatoes, halved
1 lb. fresh pearl onions, peeled and halved
1/2 cup + 2 T olive oil
1/4 cup kosher salt
2 T coarsely ground black pepper
1/3 cup fresh garlic, peeled and finely diced
1/4 cup thyme, leaves removed from stem and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup rosemary, leaves removed from stem and coarsely chopped
2 T sage, leaves removed from stem and coarsely chopped

Preparation

Thaw roast completely and remove plastic packaging.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Prepare rub by combining salt, pepper, chopped garlic, chopped herbs and 1/2 cup of olive oil.
Mix 2 T of the rub with the remaining 2 T of olive oil and toss with potatoes and onions.
Liberally rub all sides of roast with remaining rub. Be sure to get it in between the bones. Put any excess rub on the top.
Place roast on a foil lined sheet pan and spread potatoes and onions around sides of the roast.
Cook on center rack of oven for approximately 2 hour and 20 minutes to 2 hours and 35 minutes for a 9 lb. roast or until internal temperature reaches 145°F in the middle.
Let rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting away string and slicing into 16 even portions between the bones.
Serve with the roasted red potatoes and pearl onions in the natural Au Jus.
