 I saw an article that I chose not to click on earlier this month that stated that the USA was no long a prime rib country. 

yeah, fuck that guy.

 

A properly prepared primerib is sublime.

 

You can take my prime rib from my cold clogged arteries.   

BiL smoked brisket, ham, and a 5 bone rib roast for Christmas. Roast ended up taking longer so we ate without it, but I gotta say, horseradish sauce meant for the roast was almost as good on brisket.

I was at my local HEB on Christmas Eve (they were open) to pick up my rib roast. Just in the 5-10 minutes I stood there, I bet those guys handled 150 lbs of rib roasts. Totally ridiculous amount of beef back there behind the counter. 
 

I did a garlic / herb / olive oil rub, and smoked it over apple & cherry.  Delicious.

Alright folks, it is that time again. DFW Kroger’s have rib roasts on sale for $6.97/lb until Tuesday. $1/lb more than the sales last year

Since so many of you miscreants have raved about the horseradish sauce I ripped off and tweaked, here you go:

Quote

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup grated prepared horseradish

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

$4.97/ lb in Houston. 

 

Nice, that's cheaper than chuck.

I made this recipe a while back, it fucks 

I have no shame. I smoked prime rib for a group of 10 a couple years ago and made JJ’s sauce and passed it off as my own. I did at least make the au jus from scratch. They still talk about how awesome it was. I regret nothing.

As I've said many times, I totally ripped it from the internet, and then just tweaked it until my wife was happy.  (Story of my life.)

I would be offended if people didn't pass it off as their own.

I appreciate your generosity. I think I am going to try a prime rib and the resurrected tamale dressing for Christmas.

Looking forward to trying this NYE (Costco beef tenderloin).

My go to for over 30+ years and have never been disappointed. Last 7-8 years, it’s been done on my Big Green Egg. Just watch the temperature as I like mine bloody!!

I'm doing a prime rib this year.  Thinking about sous vide.  Anyone here done one that way?

It's a nut kick to fit it in a bag.  Not impossible, but if it pops mid-cook, you kind of screw yourself.  The oven or smoker method is low risk and fairly easy IMO

I'm thinking about the same.

Plan is to dry brine for 48 hours, bath for 6 hours at 135. Pat dry and blast it in a 500 degree oven until it's nice and crispy on the outside.

I watched the Sousvide Everything guy on Youtube do 2 different roasts. He did them at 137. On one he he cut off the bones then trussed them back on. I think Kenji did the same remove and truss. I haven't decided if I will do that yet.

I did two years with a rotisserie on my kamado and it turned out great.  I'm intrigued, though, about getting a perfect medium rare end-to-end with sous vide.  The flip side is getting a great crust after the sous vide.

For anyone in Austin, Randall's started their $4.99 (with $25 spent other than beef and alcohol I think) bone-in ribeye roast today.

Yup, but they're USDA Select.  Might be kinda tough.  They are advertising Prime for $14.99/lb as well.  I think that will be our XMas Day lunch.

Anybody have a go-to recipe/instructions for smoking a prime rib in an Egg (technically a Vision)?

Do you have another thermometer or just the one on the grill? It seems like if you are asking this question you may not use it much haha. 

Just follow any smoker recipe that exists, use the stone for indirect, put it on the top rack in the center, you want to put wood chunks on the bottom of the firebox over the ash hole then cover with lump. 

I use pecan and oak lump (B&B) about 4 healthy chunks then enough lump to cover the bowl, light 2 sides and let it get to temp 255-275 is where you wanna keep it. 

Go until IT is 117-120, pull it off. Take everything off including indirect stone, get the grill up to inferno (550+) blow the ash off the coals, throw the roast directly on the coals for 2 min each side to crisp it up. 

Rest till it comes up to 132+, cut it open and eat. 

Alternatively you can just wait till 110IT then leave it all the same and crank it as hot as it'll go indirect and pull it when it hits 15-18 degrees off your target IT.

Thanks. I'd put my experience at "seasoned rookie", ha. I've done ribs, chicken wings, and turkeys. This would be my first venture into a hunk of red meat is why I was asking. Yes, I have temp probes.

Ballpark timing to reach "117-120" on an 8-10 lb roast? Big green egg.com says "To approximate the total cooking time, allow about 11 to 12 minutes per pound for rare and 14 to 15 minutes per pound for medium rare."

However long it takes. You can hold it for an hour no problem in a cooler or oven on warm. Better to be early than late and right on time is basically stupid to try for.

I did mine on my Vision kamado a couple years ago, but I have a Joetissorie.  There is a guy who has done kamado cooking videos for years and now is branded with Kamado Joe - John Setzler.  When I was first learning to use the kamado, I watched his youtube videos and learned a bunch.

Doing prime rib on the Weber bullet for Xmas this year, so I need to read this thread.  Fingers crossed it turns out okay.  Will definitely use JimmyJazz's pilfered horseradish cream sauce recipe.

I smoked a ten pounder as an add on for Thanksgiving this year on my vertical smoker and it was super easy with a Meater probe. Just make sure to salt it heavily well ahead of time to give the salt time to penetrate the meat.

I did mine on my vision Kamado last year and it turned out great. I honestly don’t remember the exact recipe or cook time, but just allow plenty of time and find a recipe you like seasoning-wise. Howtobbqright is a pretty good resource for cooking meats on different smoker types, if not for using the recipes he posts as well. You might start there.

The last time I did a prime rib (at least 15 years ago) I followed a recipe that called for a really hot oven at the beginning but then you turned the oven off at some point and just let it sit in the oven without ever opening the door.

Turned out great and the Yorkshire Pudding made from the drippings was spectacular.

Need to do it again.

Yep, page 2. I use two of the oven bags, in case one breaks (they come in a two pack anyway). Drop it in the water till all the air is gone. Cold smoke 2-3 hours afterward. My smoker will still make a crust at a low temp. If yours doesn't may want to put it on a high temp grill and sear it on each side for a couple of minutes between turns.

This is one we've done using that method, so easy.

Small group for us here on Xmas day this year, will see what HEB selection is on Sunday (if they're open) to determine if we do this or ham.

My sis did that, she said it came out perfect.  Personally, I don't trust my wife and kids not to open the oven for several hours.

Many recipes I see on-line include some mayo.  Have you tried and eliminated that by choice, or not tried it?

I haven't tried it.  Maybe I'll make two batches for our XMas Day prime rib and do a family taste test.

At some point it would start to morph into "horseradish ranch", wouldn't it?

It is not a lot.  Recipe I flagged online would add just 2 Tbsp of mayo to your recipe.  Maybe I'll do the same - split your base recipe and add 1 Tbsp mayo to one of the portions.

Many will say I lose my man card, but I substitute 1/2-3/4 of the sour cream in my horseradish sauce for greek yogurt.  I cannot tell the difference.  And I never use any mayo.  

Saw a recipe online that used whipped cream and mayo instead of sour cream.  I personally like the sour cream flavor and texture better.

We have been using his method for years, always perfect. Downside is tying up the oven for hours. We only have a single oven so it can be a PITA.

That's how I do it. Tastes great.

Have any of you seen the ribeye roast pricing at CostCo (Austin)?  I can't bring myself to go there today for recon, it's gonna be a complete zoo (moreso than usual).

Prime bone in roast was $18.99/lb at the Cedar Park Costco yesterday.

Thanks.  I may just go with the Choice at Randalls ($9.99/lb).

My BIL is doing prime rib on Wednesday.  He tends to overcook things.   I hope he doesn’t fuck this up.
