Finaly Got Around To That Grass-Fed Standing Rib Roast

Okay, I asked many questions about grass-fed versus regular grain fed prime rib. Now I have the answer. It's great! Did it on the Joetisserie and it turned out fantastic




This was a smallish one at 5.5 pounds. Was ready in about 1 hour at 350 dome temp. Fantastic.

    Thanks @johnmitchell, I wasn't sure if it would be good or not, but it surely was. No gamey taste at all. Tasted like the best prime rib I had gotten at any fine dining establishment, but quicker and better and on the egg.

    Thanks, guys. @YukonRon, it was so good. My guy says he feeds his beef minerals before slaughter, so don't know if that accounts for the fantastic taste. I know his filets are fork tender and so was the standing rib roast. @Jameson19, I have a grass-fed brisket in the freezer now, just waiting for the right time to cook it. I still have a lot of left over Memorial Day SRF in there now, lol. We did the SRF brisket in the smoker, but I think we'll do the grass-fed on the Joetisserie. It's smaller and should fit nicely.

    Your cook looks excellent. As for your comment on the beef still mooing - I have a friend that told the waiter in a steak house, "Just dehorn it, wipe its little fanny, and then drag across the fire on each side." I guess that's pretty rare, huh? Lol

    I'm resisting buying one MORE accessory for my Eggs, but I have to say that a slow, rotating direct cook sure seems like a cool option.  Maybe I'll buy one some day.

    But I gotta say, that is one gorgeous piece of meat!  Great job!!!

    The rotisserie thing seems to work well for you. Roast looks great.  Thought about purchasing the quality made Carson Rodizio but, after careful consideration I opted out. I just don't believe I'd use it enough to justify the initial investment.

    Okay, I used to like to order steak (when I do eat steak out, away from the Egg), "wipe the s**t off it's hoofs and walk it through the kitchen real slow"
    That's rare!

    Looks fantastic, can't wait to try something like this on my Joetisserie.  What temp did you pull it at?

    Thanks @SGH, you know that means a lot to me and I appreciate it. @SciAggie, your friend and I would get along famously. I only cook beef well done if it is in a braise, like a chuck roast. Otherwise, it's rare for me. @Theophan and @NPHuskerFL, I do enjoy the Joetisserie. Been a rotisserie fan for as long as I can remember and just had to have this one. I use it a lot, but seldom post repeat cooks. Can't get better chicken IMHO. @jaydub58, I found it is very seldom that I can get a steak to my liking anymore at a restaurant, so we just don't go there. @smbishop, I pulled at 128 degrees and let it stand for 10 minutes. I find that grass-fed gets done a little quicker than regular beef. Plus, all of the larger cuts of his beef run on the smallish side compared to regular beef. Don't know why, but I just know it is very tender. Again, thanks everyone for the kind comments. I appreciate it.

    Sister I'm always proud to give it to exceptional cooks. This one certainly deserved it. In your short time here, your posts have quickly become one of my favorites. They are always tight and on point. Keep up the awesome work.

    @BrueggeDad, I had seen the pre-release videos and once I was convinced it would work on the egg, we bought it and haven't regretted it at all. I've used a rotisserie inside for many years, so I was very familiar with the principles of cooking on one. Now, add cooking on one over a bed of coals on the egg and you're really got something there. So much fun.

    @SGH, thanks again. I always try to post the info that I look for in other posts regarding a cook. I guess I'm a "just the facts, ma'am" type of poster. I'm sure not everyone grew up watching Dragnet. =)

    @Dredger Before we moved to Texas, we used to buy a side of grass fed beef every year or so from a local company.  They gave us a copy of this book.  It is a great book and has a lot of information about cooking with grass fed beef.

    Thanks @smbishop, just took a look at that book and grabbed the Kindle edition. Looks very interesting and looking forward to digging into it. Very good list of recipes too. For the most part, grass-fed is usually what we buy now.
