Post by: trophyhunt on December 25, 2013, 10:27:03 AM
I always cook a prime rib for dinner on Christmas Day, last few years I've bought it at butcher boys on south hill puyallup.  I'll post before, during and after photos as it gets done, yummy!

Looks great!! Any secret to the rub you're using?

I use the Three Pines rub that I found on the internet.
I'm doing about an 8 lber today on the BGE. Love me some Prime rib.

I totally spaced out on the finish pic, it was a zoo at the house!  I had to feed 18 adults and 3 kids.  The rib would have cost 240.00 at the regular price but I'm friends w the owner so I got a good break.  I remembered to take a pic after dished everyone up, sorry.  One finish rib looks like the rest, you guys have some very good looking ribs on here!  I cook with the bone in because we love the ribs for lunch the next day.  The rock Salt doesn't seem to have any affect with our juices,  must have used half a roll of paper towels to keep the juice was running all over the place when cuttting up.  I am interested in the ageing process, how long and where do you age it at?  I pulled it off at 124 in the center which was a bit too high for my family, lots of blood rare people.  I normally pull at 115

I'm a big Alton Brown (Good Eats) fan. On his last podcast he talked about doing his "prime rib" for Christmas.

In actuality, he does not do "prime rib," but rather purchases a Choice grade of standing beef rib roast. He then wraps in a few layers of cheesecloth dry ages for a couple weeks in the fridge. On cooking day, bring to room temp, unwrap, and cut off any areas that are too dry.

He then throws in on an oven rack (with pan under to catch drippings) and cook at low temp (he actually did not say what temp, but guessing low to mid 200's) for like 4-5 hours, until temp hits 120. Then take roast out and let it rest while turning oven up to 500. When carryover heat brings roast up to almost 130. Throw it back in the over for like 15 to 20 minutes until you get a nice dark char and take it out to rest again for 15-20 minutes before carving.

The Potato is a Yukon Gold, the recipe is calls it a "Hasselback" potato. She put it down between 2 chop sticks and slices it about 1/8" apart. The chop sticks are so you don't cut all the way through. It's suppose to resemble the leaves of or on an accordion. Then thinly slice a clove of garlic and slide between the slices about every other one. Then baste with some rosemary infused olive oil. Really tasty. Along with the prime rib and potato we had Broccoli salad and cheesy green beans.

Trophy Hunt, Prime Rib is a great idea for a Christmas dinner tradition.  Give us some pointers on the roasting technique (how long, at what temperature?).
i started out this year by getting the BBQ up to 450 and searing for 20 min bone side down.  Then cool it down and cook it at 315 to 320 until the middle is 115 for blood rare.  120 internal temp should should be good for rare also but remember when you pull it off, it continues to cook.  It will go from rare to med rare in a very short time.  I  usually cook at 12 minutes per pound but the temp rules when to pull it.  Before putting it on the BBQ let it sit out for around an hour.  To slow the over cooking process I cut it in half after its done cooking, I love the way I prep it with olive oil, spices, rosemary and covered last with kosher rock salt.  I cook it with the ribs, they are great, had them for lunch today.  We serve it with aujuice and horseradish sauce.

Butcher boys has always been real good to me. When I lived on South Hill in the 90's, they smoked a bunch of pheasant for me every Thanksgiving. They always did a great job, never making it 'pheasant jerky.' My buddy has his beef cut and wrapped by them as well. I bought a quarter from him and all I had to do was call John at BB and tell him how I wanted it cut. They did it exactly how I asked. I have bought prime rib from them as well. Good butcher shop all the way around. And BTW...that earth oven thing is pretty bad ass :tup:

Amazing food guys. Can't wait to get back cooking the good stuff. Now I'm hungry.
I used to use butcher boys for years. We would bring a lot of good quality game meat to get cut and wrapped. Owner is a good guy and they make some good products. Although I no longer use them due to a couple employees treating us poorly from time to time.

Do it.  You won't be disappointed.  Pay attention to temp you pull it off at.

Haven't done dry aged yet.

We did one this Christmas, and it was the same perfect goodness we expect.  Made stew with the ribs.

Yes, and for the purposes of the recipe, I think it contributes to drying of the crust and creating a dry even heat surrounding the roast, without dissolving excessively in any leeched moisture, making the roast less salty.  You scrape all the salt off the roast before it rests.

Mix the kosher salt with just enough water to make it kind of pasty. I apply it to the roast about 1/2” thick. The more you can cover the better, but it’s hard to get the salt to stay on the sides.
Here is the salt crust from a small roast we did yesterday,   225degrees till thermometer hits 125, let rest for 15.  Salt crust will lift right off, then just brush away any salt remaining on the roast sides.
Salt crust is the bomb!!!!!!!

Post by: Pnwrider on December 30, 2019, 08:34:07 PM
I’ve done prime rib a few different ways and don’t think you can really go wrong as long as you have a good thermometer and don’t over cook it. I do notice a difference between choice and prime (had them back to back to see if it was worth the roughly $10 per pound price delta). Some will advise you rub it and leave it uncovered in the refrigerator for a day. I never seem to remember. Plus, when I go overboard with the kosher salt, my gravy ends up too salty. My usual rub is just kosher salt, garlic, pepper.

I did a 12 lber last week. Pull it out a few hours beforehand to let it come up to temp. I rubbed it with a butter, garlic, thyme, oregano, pepper mixture. In the oven at 450 for 30 min, then finished at 300 until it hit 115 in the center. Let it rest for awhile (good time to finish the other sides in the oven and listen to your wife complain about not having double ovens). That’s a good temp to feed the masses, might not be rare enough for some but you can use end slices for those that prefer medium. After you slice, use the drippings to make a gravy.

I’ve also done the reverse sear method. 250 degrees until it hits 110. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes. Then put it into a 500 degree oven for 30 minutes. This method yielded the most even pink/red color throughout the roast, but I feel the other method renders the fat down a little better and gives a better bark on the outside.

I have the meat cutter remove then tie the rib bones back on the roast. Bad idea or makes no difference? Also whats the best internal temp for medium rare? I'm doing a 14 pounder.
Title: Re: My 23 lb. Christmas dinner prime rib!
Post by: Crunchy on December 30, 2019, 09:54:48 PM
I believe cooking with the bones adds flavor and probably helps the meat cook.  Also adds flavor if you plan on making gravy from the drippings.  I would have them cut off, season the meat and then tie back on.

Post by: bornhunter on December 30, 2019, 10:02:32 PM
A local prime rib aficionado told me to wrap the roast in cheese cloth, place in a pan and keep on the bottom shelf of the fridge for 5 days before cooking. Take out and leave out for 3 to 4 hours before cooking. Tried that last year for the first time and everyone said it was the best one I have ever cooked.

This pick is a good example of why you need your meat to rest, I didn't know this back then and all my juices ran out.  So, let your meat rest at least for 1/2 hour.  Someone also said to knock off your salt crust before pulling your rib of the smoker or bbq, that is a good idea as well.

Depends on where you get your roast. I like buying prime from Costco so I can cut it, rub it, and tie it. A lot of times there is a piece of fat that runs along the bottom of the roast that I will trim off. Plus you want rub between the bones and the roast. Even when I bought it already cut and tied, I would end up having to cut string, rub, and re tie the roast.

I just picked up a 17 pound prime.  Looks like ribs are attached, so I assume I'll trim then tie.   Someone hinted to me the ribs taste good

I use them for beef stock after for a good stew.  You can eat them, of course.

Depends on your liking but another important thing to look for when picking out a roast is the cut. IIRC, there is a small and large end. Don’t remember which is which, but one will have a better cap or crown (the 1”ish piece of meat above the main body of meat.) IMO this is the best part, and it has a high marbling in it which helps to flavor the main body of meat

My MIL makes a great medium-rare prime rib with a rock salt crust that is a different recipe from what I've seen here.  Preheats oven to 550, puts the roast in until the heat rises back up to 550, then shuts off the oven and leaves it set for 8 hours. 

I prefer to do a liberal rub of Redmond Real Salt sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, sage and rosemary, into a 550 oven and immediate reduction to 275 with an external digital read thermometer set to 126, remove and let rest under a foil tent an hour before carving.  Ribs for lunch or breakfast the next day, then the rib bones  go into a crockpot on low overnight for a great beef stock. 

As someone said, there are many ways to do it.  These photos made me very hungry!

Ugh! Whatever I did it turned out perfect.  Now to try to figure it out again.  I got a small one for practice.  Of course small ones are different than big ones.

As I recall, I cut the ribs of and covered the meat with a layer of kosher and let sit in fridge. I’m guessing 24. But then I swear I removed the salt and then put a rub on, probably horseradish, black pepper, garlic, maybe rosemary.   Tied the ribs Then cooked.  I feel I cooked it hot for a bit then reduced heat and cooked about 12 minutes per pound.    Now I have a 5 pounder instead of a 17 or 18 lol.   Removed and tented it for awhile.

Man have times changed, I’m down to a 10 pound rib this Christmas, politics has shrunken the family. I cook with my ribs on, cover with olive oil, after resting in room, temperature for a couple hours, spice it up and then with water and salt mixture till it’s a paste cover that rib And you can cook right away. 120 in the center at most for rare

Sounds great.  Maybe you should try that with some blacktail or mule deer.  OK, yes, I'm a smarta$$.

I just know that somehow with the help of several members I cooked the perfect and I mean perfect prime rib.   Im sure kicking my butt for not writing it down.

One key thing I learned cooking prime ribs is to make sure they are at room temperature before cooking. Working at a restaurant as a dishwasher we were delegated to prepare all the prime ribs, baking spuds, butterflying lobsters, and making all the bobs.

 :chuckle:

Maybe do the hoofed version of a turkucken... blacktail roast inside a mule deer roast inside the beef roast?

That would probably taste amazing.👍

But include a whitetail roast into it.
