The Prime Rib (and other beef) Thread

[bestellen]

How long do they keep? Is it best to buy one now, or wait a few days?

DT you should post the after pics you shared on Instagram. Phenomenal results.

I was told that Costco had prime brisket for $1.99 a pound right now. Anyone else see that? While prime rib is awesome, hard beat that brisket price for a big party. Although DT is making me question that.

$2.79 per lb as of last night.

Crock pot brisket at ward Christmas party.

I feel like I shouldn't complain, because strictly speaking, we got brisket. And yet, it feels like we went out of our way to assemble all of the components of a really solid dinner and deliberately decided not to follow through. Just, why?

57lbs untrimmed, 40lbs trimmed. At $9.30/lb, that is a lot of $$$ in trimmings.

That's about right for a bone-in product. Most people keep it on the bone for flavor and juiciness. Same with the fat cap. I assume you took it off to get more smoke?

For people looking for a good holiday roast, you'll get a better deal on pretty much anything than prime rib this time of year, though DT got a rockin deal at $9.30. The best prime rib alternative is the strip loin. An underdog cut is the Denver. It's thin like a brisket, but it is very tender, and can be grilled medium rare like the Tri-Tip. You'd probably have to go to a specialty meat shop for it, but it comes of the chuck roll and is very affordable. Last year I talked a friend of mine into going with a brisket for his company party because I knew he had a tight budget. He said his employees liked it just as much as prime rib. The short story is that everyone thinks they need to serve prime rib at company parties, so now is the time to get good deals, comparatively, on other cuts that are also very high quality.

Cooking PRib for 50+ on the 2nd. Should be fun. I'll probably use the same method I used last time. It ended up pretty good.

I got a rib roast at the store for cheap because the butcher got a little crazy with the saw. Here is a bird's-eye view of the roast while it is standing on its end; the cut is visible. Great marbling, though.

It was great. I also threw a loin strip roast on that was also on sale. I didn't take the time to tie it round, but it still came out OK.

No prime rib for me this year. I will be braising short ribs for the masses tomorrow.

None for us either. Unexpected death in the family altered many of our holiday plans. We did lamb chops tonight which were very good.

I just sliced a 16.79 lbs. USDA Prime New York Strip into 21 steaks. When I was done, I had a good 6-7 ozs of tidbits left over. Kosher salt, ground black pepper, and granulated garlic for five minutes before throwing them into an ungreased cast-iron skillet that was smoking hot. They are fork tender and taste like I cooked them in butter. In about an hour, I'm going to be cooking steaks to order. This is some of the best steak I've ever eaten.

You need a sous-vide machine... and a better camera.

I haven't cooked prime rib in the smoker before. What wood do you use? Do you cook it the whole time in the Smoker?

Sear in a pan, then smoke at 275 until inside is 130, FTC for about and hour. I forgot a picture but all 10 lbs are gone so it was mostly a success.

We've done it ever Xmas eve since I got a smoker.
