Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a grill for indirect grilling over medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, stir together the chili-lime rub and 3 Tbs. of the oil. Spread the mixture evenly over the cut surface of the pork roast. Roll up the roast and tie at 1-inch intervals with kitchen twine. Rub the outside of the roast with 1 Tbs. of the oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place the pork on the grill over direct heat and sear until grill-marked on all sides, 7 to 8 minutes total. Transfer the roast, tied side down, to the center of a mesh roasting pan and set over indirect heat. Cover the grill and cook for 30 minutes, maintaining the internal temperature of the grill at 400° to 425°F.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, stir together the corn, chilies, the remaining 2 Tbs. oil, salt and pepper. Turn the roast over and arrange the corn along the edges of the pan. Cover the grill and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145°F, about 30 minutes more.

Transfer the pork to a cutting board, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, stir together the corn, butter, lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper. Cut the pork into slices and serve with the corn. Serves 6.
