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

My experience is that choice prime rib is fine.  IMO, it’s usually not worth it to get prime.

I'm doing a prime brisket, some pork butt, and sausage + Rudy's chicken for 16 on Christmas Eve.  Christmas day will be ribeye roast and ham, same crew.  I will be damn near bankrupted in a 24 hour span, so they can definitely deal with choice ribeye.

Why are you paying for all of it 2 days in a row to feed 16? Do they clean your house at least?

I outsourced the wine, beer, and desserts.  That's about it.  It's our kids, their dates, and some of my in-laws.  I can't exactly pass the hat.  Eh, it will all be good.

Here is a pic of Chef John’s prime rib method. It works great on normal sized roast, we tried a 12lb one last year and it wasn’t done enough. I’d say anything 10lb and under this method is perfect. This is for boneless, not sure about roast with the bones still intact.

6.5# HEB Prime dry brining in the fridge right now. Still not sure if I'm going to reverse sear or sous vide.

That's a good price for Choice.

I try my very, very best to use gratitude and be thankful that we can afford to host in-law meals. My mother-in-law is even thoughtful enough to request the menu. You know…that way I never have to worry about what to cook.

Made the jimmyjazz horseradish sauce, turned out really well, thanks for sharing! 

The meat was very satisfying, that's what she said.

The texture of sous vide roasts is off putting to me. There is just something there that never seems to work out right when I do it. RS otoh seems to always slam. Just my 2 cents. 

I'm RS searing a PR for dinner tomorrow.  Hope to not be too drunk to not post pictures,

Yeah, I'm doing the Serious Eats method, starting in a few minutes.  3.5-4 hours at 250 F, rest, blast at 500 F for 6-10 minutes.

There’s my slice. 

Doing one today with a heavy influence by Meat Church. I was going to do the 500 degree/two hour method but my BIL has fancy Miele ovens that have cooling fans. Going conventional instead.

Go even lower than 250 if you have the time.

Bear and Burtons W Sauce as a binder, Meat Church Holy Cow and Garlic and Herb seasoning.

Exactly what I used for mine.

Oops . . . overshot.  Decided to check its temperature at 3 hours.  It was 138 F.  Medium prime rib for everyone!  They can eat it and like it.

Doing one for the first time this year.  

Using this recipe since I've liked some of his others. Fingers crossed

 

Just put mine into the oven at 225. I’ll pull it at 130, sear it in Ghee in the cast iron, and let it rest for about 30 minutes. It should be ready to eat by 3. Can’t wait

I did 36 pounds total last night for dinner for 12. A 22.5 pounder, 8 and a 6.5. The two small ones turned out medium and I was incredibly upset. I was the only one that was upset. You’ll be fine

You guys are pulling way way way too high temp. Pulled at 110 rested to 128, seared it at inferno for 5/ minutes. Rested another 10. 

This might surprise you, but some people like their meat a little more done.  Regardless, there is little to no carryover heating from a low and slow roast.

Prime Rib roast went on the smoke at 12:30, and first beer cracked.  Going to be a good day.

If there is a cut that is overcooked for me, I prefer it be prime rib. You’re fine. 😊

9.6 lbs center cut prime from HEB (confirm it was open on Saturday). 

I cook at 225. There is no way it would get to 130 resting if I pulled it at 110. Also, the method I use cooks it perfectly for the different ways people like theirs cooked. My wife likes hers closer to medium which the ends will be. The middle will be a perfect medium rare. 

No meat pulled at 110 has risen to 128 while “resting”. Carry over cooking doesn’t work that way. 

And yeah, let people cook their shit however they want. There is no universally correct way to cook anything. 

I ain’t mad at it.

Ours turned out great.  I must have hit a hot spot with the thermometer, because I don't think this was 138 F (excuse the shitty carving, everybody was clamoring for food so I just plowed through it):

I pulled mine at 126 internal last night and it was definitely overcooked for my preference. No one seemed to mind and it was still super tender and all that, but it wasn’t as pretty as previous ones I’ve cooked.

17.5 lb boneless prime from Costco cooked on a spit over Eagle Rare barrel oak and finished with thyme and rosemary butter from the garden.  Pulled at 114 and finished in the oven to 125-135 depending on thickness.

For the squeamish, I use a hot cast iron skillet to "fix" that awful red meat after slicing. 

Turned out pretty damn good.

Posting pics here is a PITA, but mine turned out great.

What do y'all do with leftovers?  I don't have a sous vide, so what's the best way to reheat without overcooking?   

I'd love a warm roast beef sandwich tonight.

Sous vide at 131° for 8 hours.  Ice bath for 10 minutes.   Compound butter and finished in 500° oven for 10 minutes.

I don't like reheated prime rib.   I usually get Gambino French rolls and make some bad ass Philly cheesesteaks.

You can put the meat in the freezer for 30 minutes and it's much easier to slice really thin.

But...you heat it, right? 

I assume you grill it for a minute or two?

I buy Hawaiian rolls and provolone then caramelize some onions and bake it at 300 for 10-15 minutes melt the cheese on top and top it. Slams and goes hard.

I do the same thing, but with a quick dunk in a skillet with the jus in there to take some of the pink off of the Mother-in-Law's piece.
