The Prime Rib (and other beef) Thread

[kccougar]

If you're in Salt Lake, try Snider's. That's where I usually buy my good meat.

Edit. Highland Drive about 6200 South.

Where? I would drive to Cedar for that price.

Lin's Market. Still a 16 and a couple of 5-7 pounders left.

My local Albertson's only has select-grade rib roasts (???). I was hoping to find something smaller than Costco size. However, I'll probably just go get whatever Costco has now. The rib roast is a family tradition for Christmas (ham for Easter, turkey for Thanksgiving, rib roast for Christmas), so I have to get something.

Just picked up our's for $4.99/lb. Going to cook it on Christmas Eve. I have to work the afternoon on Christmas

actually I didnt check. I forgot about your experience. I ass-u-med they were all the standard Choice but I suppose it is possible that they were prime.

I'm going back tomorrow to scope it out. If it is truly prime, I will nab it. In fact, which Costco stocks the prime roast? I will just go there since I will be in SLC tomorrow.

I've found them at the one in Murray at 5300 S State - next to the hospital. I'm going there tomorrow as well so I can let you know.

Shaka I have a friend that sells like this. I usually buy a steak and a chicken box from him every few months. He charges me about $80 I think the normal cost for a whole box of Steak is $120. Well worth it and the meat is always good.

Were they all "prime" or were there some "choice" available as well.

I stopped by the Co on my way home to get a pulse on the scene. I counted at least 15 prime rib roasts.

I'm definitely doing the popovers this year.

they were so freaking good.

[hostile]

I do popovers now. I put a recipe up and some pics in the Chophouse thread. Delish. And a big hit. I think prime rib should be accompanied by a pudding or a popover. Nice pairing.

unless you pick it up from the day old bin - beef should keep 4 or 5 days the fridge

Like Hostile said wrap in tightly in saran wrap - then keep it in the coldest spot in your fridge

Question - Does anybody else do a Yorkshire pudding when making prime rib?

Serious question:

Costco won't take pre orders on its prime rib, and it invariably runs out. Can I buy the prime rib today (about 6 days prior to Christmas) and leave it in the fridge until christmas? Should I freeze it?
