Step 1: Choose the Right Cut of Meat

• Select a piece of pork with a good layer of fat on top, preferably a pork loin or pork belly.
• Look for a piece with an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
• Make sure the skin is intact for optimal crackling.

Step 2: Prepare the Meat

• Score the skin with a sharp knife to create crosshatch patterns. Be careful not to cut into the meat.
• Rub a generous amount of salt into the scores and all over the skin; this will help draw out moisture and create a crispy surface.
• Optionally, you can rub some garlic and herbs into the meat for added flavor.

Step 3: Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F) for the initial high-heat cooking phase.
• This high temperature is crucial for achieving crispy crackling.

Step 4: Roast the Flæskesteg

• Place the pork on a roasting rack in a baking tray. This allows air to circulate around the meat.
• Roast in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until the skin starts to puff and crackle.
• After 30 minutes, reduce the temperature to 180°C (356°F) and continue roasting for an additional 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the size of your cut. The internal temperature should reach at least 70°C (158°F).

Step 5: Final Touch for Crispiness

• If the skin isn’t as crispy as desired after roasting, you can switch to the grill setting for a few minutes. Keep a close watch to avoid burning.
• Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat succulent.

Step 6: Carve and Serve

• Use a sharp knife to carve the roast. Slice through the crackling and then cut the meat into even portions.
• Serve with traditional Danish sides like potatoes, red cabbage, and gravy.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can achieve a perfect flæskesteg with crispy skin and tender meat every time. Remember to choose the right cut of meat, score the skin, and get the oven temperatures just right. Enjoy your roast with delicious sides and share your culinary success with friends and family!
