We did our last class of the year last night and we cooked 45 Dry aged, USDA Prime, standing rib roast. We also did Duck L'Orange, a couple of sides and a full dutch oven of chocolate fondue.

The class went great and we had our very first major celebrity in attendance. The 2009 British Open winner Stewart Cink. He is a super nice guy and also a serious EGGhead.

He posted a picture he took. http://plixi.com/p/62988767

    Did you age the meat or buy it that way?

    Is he a member of the forum? I'm thinking KitchenCink would be a good handle.

    You would be correct kind sir!

    Cooked it at 225° until it hit 125° and then pulled it and got the EGG® going direct at 650° and then I seared it on both sides. Let it rest about 15 minutes and sliced it.

    Actually we got caught up in the class a little bit and it went to about 135° at the end. I was very disappointed but the class all loved it.

    Did one where I trimmed the leather and the other I left untouched, save for some fat trimming. Gave each student a half piece of each one and they couldn't tell a difference due to the limited crust on each slice.

    sounds great. i am doing one for christmas, and don't want to screw up after aging it 40 days or so. did you do a seven bone roast? do yo have a preference for either end?

    that's music to my ears. i have been preaching and fighting the good fight (don't trim) for a couple years now, and still we see those totally deflating pics of hard-won dry-aged meat going into the trash because someone freaked out seeing something not 'supermarket pretty'. brown is where it is at.

    another question... did the jump to 135 occur because of an extended rest, and the meat carried over? or was it due to too long over the sear?

    They were both 14 pounders when I bought them, both boneless, so I'm guessing it was at least 7 or 8 bones. They weighed in at 11.5 when they came out of the bag. The one that was trimmed lost about 2 pounds in the process and I trimmed it very tight to the leather.

    The overcooking was a combination of 3 things. I think we cooked them both a little long after it hit 125°. Randy was getting one reading and I was getting another. Then we let it rest for a little too long after the cook before the sear due to time issues with other demos. Then when we seared, the fat from doing 2 huge roasts sent the EGG® nuclear so the first side of the 1st one was seard at 600° and the last side of the 2nd one had to be 1100°. It singed the gasket right off.

    They were delicious and everyone raved about them but I was disappointed on the inside, you know what I mean.

    I forgot to wish you and your family a very merry Christmas!
