 Local market had a BOGO on these. They looked really nice with some great marbling. I grabbed a couple now I need some ideas on how to cook. I think a low and slow would be more appropriate than a bit and fast. Looks like there is tendon running thru it. 
Any ideas?  Tips?

    Is it a Spenser rib roast (prime rib) or a Spenser chuck roast (chuck)?  The tendon you mention makes me think it is a chuck roast. If not labeled, do you have a picture?

    There you have it - cook it like a chuck roast.  Low and slow and as a pepper stout beef or SV it for a looooong time. (This I have not personally done.)  If you treat it like a rib or sirloin roast it will probably end up being pretty tough. 

    Or you could even grind it for burgers. 

    Post the results regardless of how you do it.

    Was thinking smoking for a few hours then braising it for a while to get it to pull for sandwiches. I’ll see if anyone else posts any cooks. Thanks @Sea2Ski
    also have to look for a pepper stout beef. I’ve seen it mentioned here but have never done it.

    One of my favorite braises for chucks and short ribs is to smoke it for a few hours, then into the Dutch over with a softened block of cream cheese, mushrooms and about 3/4-1 cup of beef broth. Cook it at 250-300 until it falls apart with a fork. Serve over rice, egg noodles, on sandwiches, whatever.

    I did one in the SV...25 hours..at 135⁰F..then threw it on the egg for a quick smoke and sear.
    Best chuck I ever made in my life, by far.

    Finally cooked me up. Smoked with Fogo and some apple wood. Got to about 150/160 then put in a pan with peppers, onions and a can of Guinness. Had a great flavor and was really tender. Odd thing is that the meat was tough to pull but was great.
