You took on quite a chore. I go simple, kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper. Maybe add a few garlic cloves in the roasts. I sear direct at 700 on all sides. Pull and put the plate setter in to finish at 350-400 indirect. Every bit of 15 minutes per lb to desired temp.

Mike, that is an excellent looking cook you have posted.

I followed thirdeyes method except for the end sear. The prime rib looked so nice on the egg when pulling I didn't want to do anything to diminish what was on the grid.

Next time I will do the same but I will do the end sear to get the traditional look of cut prime rib, which you can see in CWM's post above.





Here is the link to thirdeye's recipe. I cooked to temperature.

Mike,

I do mine at 250 -275 until 15* below desired. Then take it off, take out the drip pan and platesetter. Open the vents and sear really well.

I use Alton Brown's method just substituting the BFE for his terra cotta pot.

I wouldn't mind sticking a fork in that roast. :woohoo: :woohoo: Nice Kent. Ross has a nice one as well.

All three really look great to me. I wish the roast's were not so expensive. That small roast cost us $81 out here and that was a pretty good price as prices go. I remember being worried I was going to ruin that hunk of meat and that is why I didn't end sear.

Kent

Grandpas Grub

Interesting for Alton - no sear.

I'm so lucky, $4.99 lb for choice on sale.

That looks really good! No matter about the end sear. I'm sure thirdeye himself would tell you no need to mess with results like that.

I must admit I am a closet fan of your cooking tips and pictures. Please keep it up!

looks good there beli i do think that that is the way i will do it !

Grandpas Grub

I don't know Kevin, when I saw Mike's pictures, my mouth began to water.

I really like the medium taste on the outsides of the prime rib. If I judged on that alone I would put mine at the bottom. However, when we ate the prime rib, mine, it was fantastic.

For me, the prime rib cook was not hard at all - rather one of the more simple cooks. If folks have access to these cuts of meat at a reasonable price it is a must do cook.

The piece in our picture was almost $20 per pound as I recall.

Kent

Grandpas Grub

Sweet. I would like to see those cooked up.

Beli! How did I miss that? It looks awesome! I would love to get the recipe for the Loren's Beets,por favor'.

Big'un

I bet it'll be great Mike! Something I started doing, even though some might consider it cheating, is I purchase the instant AU JUS. That way you have enough for everyone and if something scorches, you're still covered. If the juices taste good, I add them to the purchased au jus. Make sure someone brings the horse radish. HTH. I know you'll do great!

mikeb6109

sorry not sure what au jus is??
i picked the meat up this morning and the prime is huge!! all i will do is stick some fresh garlilc here and there in it and heavily rub with fresh ground pepper and raisin the steaks!
also i need a good recipe for a sauce to go with it....was thinking browning some onions and mushrooms then adding a good amount of red wine let it reduce and serve . but not sure if that will cut it....any ideas ?

oh yeah the pork roast are beautiful i will make sure to get pics with your sauce in the background cause i will be using it!!!

Big'un

Au jus is the dipping sauce that is traditionally served with prime rib. I would caution you on the garlic cloves, unless they are pre-roasted, because they won't cook unless you burn the roast to a crisp. I learned that on my leg of lamb. I know you'll do great!!
