Thank you Forum- 1st Prime Rib was Farkin Awesome

I posted a couple of questions the other day after reading so many of the PR threads.  And my questions were answered with great info.

Here is where I make a couple of admissions;  I have had my eggs almost 2 years, I am 68 years old and now realize that I never really knew about cooking.  I was always gas grill and gas smoker and mostly the same old things.  I gave away both after about 2 weeks.

This was the first Prime Rib I have ever cooked in my life.  There were nine of us for dinner and we all agreed that it turned out fantastic. There was almost 13 pounds between the two roasts and there were no leftovers. I cooked it straight through without the finishing sear as was suggested and it had a nice crust to it.  I also took the advice of salt and peppering it, plating it and leaving it uncovered in the fridge for 48 hours. I could not have done it without the guidance and knowledge that I have found here time after time since I discovered this place.

AND A HUGE THANK YOU TO RRP FOR  POSTING HIS Au Jus RECIPE.  Wow what a special thing to go with the PR.  I t was also very good drizzled on the mashed potatoes.

The dish was paired with Garlic Roasted Mashed potatoes and grilled veggies.  The veggies are a hit in my house because they pick up just a tad bit of smoked flavor.  Onions, zucchini, squash, red pepper, yellow pepper, splashed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, cooked in a grill basket type wok on the egg while the PR rested.  Small cherry tomatoes are added at the end top heat up and prevent over cooking.

Thank you all once again,

Sonny
