Slow-Cooked Sweet-and-Sour Pork Shoulder with Pineapple

Go to Recipe

Inspired by the retro combination of ham and pineapple, Jean-Georges Vongerichten created this twist by mixing the pineapple with vinegar for a sweet-sour effect, and marinating pork shoulder with hot paprika and Sriracha. "Chile is my condiment of choice: A little here, a little there, makes the food sing," he says.

Garlic-and-Spice-Rubbed Pork Loin Roast

Go to Recipe

Chef Ryan Hardy first tasted a version of this succulent pork from a street vendor in Siena, Italy. Hardy uses the rub on other kinds of pork cuts, including the shoulder and leg, but the bone-in pork roast is the most dramatic; he often wraps a piece of pork belly around the side to make the meat extra juicy.

Horseradish-Crusted Roast Beef

The roast—deliciously crusted with horseradish and black peppercorns—is perfect hot out of the oven, but it’s also amazing cold on a sandwich: Thinly slice the roast beef and serve it on white bread with horseradish mayonnaise and juicy tomatoes.

Paprika-Roasted Leg of Lamb

"Lamb," says Marcus Samuelsson, "is one of Africa’s most popular meats." Here, he butterflies a leg to help it cook more quickly and rubs it with paprika, ancho chile and ground cardamom—recalling the fiery Mozambique condiment piri-piri.

Pork Roast with Sausage, Fruit and Nut Stuffing

Go to Recipe

Pork and fruit is a classic pairing around the world, but this dish from Washington D.C. chef José Andrés gets a particularly Catalan flavor from the combination of dried fruit and butifarra (a Catalan cured pork sausage) in the stuffing. The stuffing cooks inside the roast, which gives it a deep, marvelously porky flavor.

Coffee and prime rib seem like unlikely partners, but Ryan Farr's recipe reveals they both have an earthy quality that makes them a natural match. Just be sure to scrape off any excess coffee rub from the meat before serving.

Pepper-Crusted Prime Rib Roast with Mushroom-Armagnac Sauce

Go to Recipe

To keep this prime rib extra juicy, "ask your butcher to leave the fat cap on before tying the beef," says chef Melissa Perello. Roasting the prime rib in a bath of butter, a common chef’s trick that Perello uses here, also helps.
