Ingredients
8-pound 10-bone frenched pork rack
3/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup black pepper
3 tablespoons allspice
3 tablespoons chile powder
3 tablespoons crushed fennel seed
3 tablespoons crushed coriander seed
8 ounces butter
1/2 cup whole grain mustard
1/2 cup wildflower honey
1/2 cup rosemary
1 cup parsley
1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup minced garlic
Three bunches broccolini
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
1-Start by preheating a grill for indirect cooking at 250°F (121°C) to ensure even cooking for your honey mustard roasted pork rack. Begin with the 8-pound 10-bone frenched pork rack and season it heavily using the blend of 3/4 cup kosher salt, 1/4 cup black pepper, 3 tablespoons each of allspice, chile powder, crushed fennel seed, and crushed coriander seed. Allow the pork to come to room temperature for at least one hour, which helps it cook more uniformly and enhances the flavors from the seasoning.
2-While the pork rests, prepare the basting liquid by combining 8 ounces butter, 1/2 cup whole grain mustard, 1/2 cup wildflower honey, 1/2 cup rosemary, 1 cup parsley, 1/4 cup paprika, and 1/4 cup minced garlic in a bowl. This mixture will create a rich glaze that adds both sweetness and depth. For the broccolini, toss three bunches with 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus kosher salt and black pepper to taste, setting them aside for later grilling.
3-Once ready, place the seasoned pork rack on the grill and cook it indirectly until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C), which typically takes a few hours depending on your grill. After removing the pork, take out any heat deflectors and raise the grill temperature to about 400°F (204°C) for a quick char. Now, apply the basting liquid to glaze the pork rack and return it to the grill to char the outside, then glaze it again for an extra layer of flavor and crispness.
4-Let the pork rest under foil for at least 15 minutes before slicing; this step locks in the juices for a tender result. Meanwhile, grill the broccolini for approximately six minutes, turning it once for even charring.

5-Finally, slice the rested pork rack and brush it with the remaining glazing liquid for a shiny finish. Serve it alongside the grilled broccolini for a complete, balanced meal. This step-by-step process ensures your honey mustard roasted pork rack turns out juicy and full of flavor, with crisp edges that make it a standout dish. Follow these instructions closely, and you’ll impress your guests with minimal effort.
