Prime Rib Christmas Supper (2 Viewers)

Well, it came out very good

BUT

I didnt get the pink consistency all the way through. It was "overcooked" on the top, but still tasted awesome. It didnt seem overcooked but that is what the experts say

I preheat to 500. When I put it in, I dropped it to 325ish. Cooked til 120 and pulled. Got all the way to 130 in the tent.

How do I keep it pink, sear at the end instead of beginning?
Cook at a lower temp (I did 250, would've done 200 if I had the time) and sear at the end.

11.5 pounder going on in the morning. :mellow:
This was such a pain in the ###. Too big. Middle had a nice medium rare but the ends were well done and are going to be soup material.
Sorry to hear that :( we had a 10.5# and, following the steps above, gave us Medium Rare in the Center, and Medium on the ends for the uninitiated ;)
Thanks. There was plenty of med rare - medium for the heathens so it came out fine. But leftovers won't be as good.

10.8 lb're that turned out perfect at 500' for 18 min then 275 for 3 hrs & a 30 minute rest - ribs may be a little red for some - how do I best warm/brown em up a bit? TIA

 
8 lb. 36 minutes at 500, then turned off the oven and let it sit in there for 2 hours, never opening it. Perfect rare to medium rare all the way through.

 
On the prime rib....are you all cooking it with the thermometer in it or do you take it out and check and poke a bunch of holes in it? I'm new to the slow roast.
I use a thermometer that I keep in the roast and it had a reading outside the oven. Only way to go, IMO.
What internal temp are we looking at and oven temp? Butcher told me take out when temp gets to 135 degrees. Do you put a piece of foil on top when cooking?

Also any good rubs for the meat?
jesus, pull at 135? What you're looking at is finding a new butcher.

 
I'm sure this has been talked about before, but what are people's lists of side dishes?
Twice baked mashed potatoes

Chipotle sweet potatoes that are to die for

Roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon, mushrooms & shallots in a sherry cream sauce

Oysters rockafeller

Homemade rolls

That's our menu anyway.
Looks good! Got a recipe for the Brussels Sprouts? Those sound delicious!

Trying to figure out how to do roasted potatoes and Brussels Sprouts in the time that the roast is resting.
Brussel Sprouts w/ bacon, mushrooms, & shallots in a sherry cream sauce:

2lbs Brussel Sprouts
6 rashers bacon
2 shallots, sliced
15 (or more) good size cremini mushrooms, quartered
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup sherry (NOT COOKING SHERRY!)
1 cup heavy cream
olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste

Preheat oven 475 degrees.

Fry up (or bake) the bacon in a deep skillet. Then chop up the bacon into small strips and set aside. Into the bacon fat, toss in the shallots & mushrooms, over medium heat until shallots turn translucent & mushrooms take on a little color and shrink down, about 5-10 mins. Toss in the garlic and cook for another minute. Then, OFF THE HEAT, pour in the sherry & heavy cream. Put back on the heat and simmer until reduced by half.

Meanwhile, clean & halve the brussel sprouts. Toss them w/ the oil, salt & pepper. Place brussel sprouts on baking sheet and roasted them about 15-20 mins until browned and delicious. As soon as the brussel sprouts are roasted, take them from the oven and put them into the mixture you've reduced on the stove. Toss/stir to coat, taste for seasoning and adjust w/ salt & pepper as needed.

Serve and enjoy! :)
This sounds great! Going to give it a shot for Christmas so it better not suck!

;)
This was really good. The cream and sherry really added a nice dimension to the sprouts.

Thanks!

 
Turned out pretty good again... but still room for improvement. My thermometer appears to be pretty crappy/inconsistent, so I need to get another one. Should make this process better. Current thermometer registered 110 when I walked in the door and then 128 ten minutes later :hot: Was a little overdone. The very middle slices were pretty decent, ends were too well done for my liking (but my kids liked them)

To document what I did for others if interested and for me to check back on next year:

6.5# Prime Rib (3 bones)

Rubbed with kosher salt/pepper/garlic/rosemary/paprika and let sit uncovered in the fridge overnight

Add 2 cups beef broth to the roasting pan for au jus

Preheat oven to 275 and pop the roast in before church (3pm)

Set oven to 500 when returning from church (5:30ish) or when internal temp @120 for 10-15 minutes to crust.

Let sit until rest of meal is ready.

I tossed the bacon pieces in the sauce as it was finishing (wasnt sure if that was right or not) and everyone went nuts for this dish. Thanks for the recipe. :bow:

 
Cooked a nine pounder (boneless) on my Weber performer yesterday.

Coated it with Worcestershire sauce and covered with Montreal steak seasoning and refrigerated overnight.

Indirect heat on the Weber with foil pan in the middle.

Cooked at 350 degrees for 3 hours and pulled it at 128, let it rest for 30 mins and carved it.

It was perfect.

 
Recap of Christmas Dinner...

Did a ~10lb, 4 boned roast from Costco.

Put a rub on it similar to a Montreal Steak Seasoning.

Grilled in between 2 end burners on 5 burner grill at ~300 for ~3 hours, pulled at 118.

Sat for about 45 - 60 minutes (was roasting potatoes and Brussels Sprouts mistimed start of them)

Threw in oven for ~10 minutes on 475.

Before Carving.

Carved middle third.

WOW!

All said it was the best piece of Prime Rib they had had in a long time. (Taps self on back.)

Forgot to take pics before cooking. Costco has really nice PR.

 
Got mine to 120 and took it out. Temp never seemed to raise after removing...maybe a bad thermometer... it was great but almost too under cooked off the bone and bloody. Will probably go up a few more degrees next time.

 
Wish I'd read this thread two days ago. Did roast for first time this year, but didn't start with 500 degrees, and didn't pull until 130. Basically medium-well/well -- lesson learned.

Is the tent after taking it out a full wrap, or just a loose cover with foil?

 
Found a new way to put on the seasoning and it was a massive hit. Take all of your spices (I used Thyme, Rosemary, Roasted Garlic and Salt) and mix them with enough Better Than Bouillon to spread on the roast. This is how I have done my briskets in the past and will use this going forward on my Prime Rib.

I use a double foil tent, loose over the roast.

I make a Sprout recipe similar but I toss in some lightly toasted Hazelnuts for texture

Didn't tent, but I did the crust at the end method, so I wasn't worried about losing heat. Still rose nicely. I left the thermometer in to watch the heat rise.

 
Made prime rib soup. Put the bones in yesterday with port, rosemary, onions, carrots with seasoning. Let it simmer all day then put in fridge overnight. Took out this morning, skimmed out the fat, added more port, leftover steak and carrots and just let it keep simmering.

Added orzo now and some homemade croutons and it is AMAZING.

Had leftover sandwiches tonight. Made some onions cooked with minced garlic, thinly sliced the leftover meat, put on some swiss, put it in the oven until the cheese melted, and finished it with some creamy horseradish... all on a garlic loaf.

Fantastic.

I also noticed the temp rise after pull was pretty small. It simply may be too dense a cut to have much carryover.

 
Wife woke up this morning and said, "how about prime rib tonight?" Who am I to argue? ?

Got a three-ribber (6.5 pounder) on sale at Publix for $7.29 per lb.

Salt and pepper rub, Will do 500 degree blast first method and then bring down the heat to 300. Pull her at 125 internal and foil.

Going in at 4:30 EST!

Was just talking to my wife about choices for Easter Dinner next week. Gave her lamb roast or Prime Rib. She chose the latter. Way to go girl!!

 
Heh... made this tonight for the MIL and MIL's sister. Aces... finally getting it right.

Salt, pepper outside and stuff with garlic.

Roast on rack over catch pan at 180 degrees until temp hits 120 -- about 5 hours.

Tent for 20 minutes.

Put water in the catch pan and then blast at 550 for 10 minutes to crisp outside.

Let rest again for five minutes to let the juice set.

Perfect med-rare inside, with a nice crust.

Making it this way again today; realizing one problem with cooking roasts on grill...no beautiful scents wafting thru the house!!

Think we might do this for xmas.

 
Smoking a trimmed Beef Tenderloin for NYE this year. Tempted to get a prime rib as well.... May have to based on head-count.

 
Confused...why boneless and then what the hell is 2 meaty beef bones and where do you buy them? :confused: Why not just buy a roast with bones?

Does look great though!
Agree, was thinking the same myself. That doesn't quite make sense but recipe looks delicious!

my god that looks amazing. Well done!
 
Definitely leaning this way with Xmas. I am looking at an herb butter mix all over, 5.5 lbs x 5 min per lb at 500 degrees. 27-28 minutes and then shut the oven off with the prime rib in there for about 2 hours. Med/rare to Med

Au jus, horse sauce, fresh mashers, should be good to go.

Thanks! And no, rare to medium rare! ;) ETA: not going to be home for Xmas this year, off to Packerland! But I may do it for NYE; think we might be home as a family. I ought to still be able to get one on 30th when I get home, right?

We are being cheap and going with lasagna on Christmas day. We are holding out on the rib roast until boxing day so that my greedy brother doesn't eat it all. :-)

 
Did this last year and thinking of doing it again. Went a little too rare last time, but still delicious.

 
Was all set to do a prime rib, was following posts here and researching how best to cook and coat and coddle..... And then my mom went out and bought a huge ham. Boring, stupid, milquetoast ham. Ugh.

 
My mother's hosting dinner this year and feels guilty because she's doing a pork loin instead of turkey and/or ham. It was her idea ("We had turkey at Thanksgiving"). And it's not like this is the first time she's gone non-traditional - a couple of years ago, she did crab cakes and fried chicken.
