When everything is so nice, you want to do it twice!

Two roasts, one for the "medium rare" family, one for the "medium" family. It took me long enough to figure THAT one out. Of course more means more delicious roast beef sandwiches the next day!

    I would disown this family ;)

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    no joke here.... serve by candle light or with the dimmer switch down.  that always takes about 5 to 10 degrees off the finish temp. meaning: you can serve them rarer meat and they won't be able to tell ;)

    i think it was fishless came up with that trick.

    HERESY: I do these in the oven, not the BGE.

    My process is simple. Trim, rub with salt, pepper, and garlic, then 225* until one hits 130, and the other hits 140. In practice I stagger the start times so that they finish within 10 minutes of each other.

    I used to flip to the broiler at 125/135, but the outside gets nice and crusty either way. It's a PITA to use the broiler. But there's no rule, if they look like they need browned up, the broiler is the way to do it.

    This is the first time I've done the Kobe roasts. The nicest roast I'd ever done previously was dry aged prime. I usually buy choice, or sometimes Certified Angus is on sale, then I'll get that. But I had a good run in Vegas a couple months ago so I hurried up and ordered these when they were on sale, with delivery postponed a month.

    One thing for the rib roast noobs: the quality of the meat is important, but not nearly as important as proper prep and cooking. Great meat won't save a bad cook. But the cheapest rib roast prepared properly will be excellent, and quality meat just goes on top of something that is already great!

    130 and 140?  Holy $h!t. By the time the temps creep up while sitting those must all be well done

    I don't bother with the resting, we slice and serve. It's a function of the guests. There's nothing wrong with resting, but it's not essential, either.
