Tomorrow is the Prime Rib after party starring Superior Angus Choice!

Got this monster at Restaurant depot, gonna save some for NYE at a friends, the rest is going on the egg for my Christmas after party on friday.
I did carve myself a little treat for tonight though.

Nothing but S&P, and a little granulated garlic, keepin it simple. Trimmed the fat layer to 1/4", then I peeled that back and spiced , then folded back over and tied. I am proud of my tie job!
Going on 250-275F until rare internal, then removing, cranking egg to 500-600F to sear and bring up to med rare.
Back tomorrow with the money shots, wish me luck.

    I like the actual tape measure for size! Looks like a great time, enjoy.
  • The tape measure, combining work with pleasure. Good job on the tie. Looks like you got some good eats coming up.

    Well, I have to say, this thing was spectacular if I do say so myself. The Angus beef really is wonderful.
    I cooked at a steady 250F raised direct until 115F, then pulled and covered in foil.
     Then removed indirect stone, cranked egg up to 550F, and seared the fat on the outside nice and crisp! The very center never exceeded 127F, everyone who loves rare, got it, I like the end , plated pic is my end cut, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans blanched, and then sauteed with bacon bits, bacon fat and brisket beef fat,I call them double fat green beans.

    Making one in a couple days.  Wanted to check if this is a typo...
    Did you cook it raised indirect and then sear it direct?

    Oh, and how long did it take?

    Looks great, thanks!

    @KiterTodd, that IS a typo, it was raised indirect for sure, then seared raised direct, (I remove stone with heavy welding gloves) Total cook time was surprisingly short for my approx weight of roast 9 lb =/- it took 3hrs plus searing time. Sorry about typo.

    @Jeepster47, thank you for the compliments as well, this recipe from all that I read not only turns out a perfect moist product, but it produces that picture perfect meat , red throughout , without any brown overcooked areas. The plated piece is actually the end, my favorite, it was med well for sure, but I loved the crusty end.
