The Prime Rib (and other beef) Thread

[TripletDaddy]

Costco in Murray. Choice bone-in/boneless for $8.69/$8.99. 3 prime bone-in left at $14.99 ($75-125). I'm buying Gruyere - we'll see if the popovers are made without cheese.

Oh yeah, baby! THAT is why they call you Hostile.:rockon1:

I had to hit the road, so I went with Harmon's. prime, dry aged, bone-in, 3 rib rack. The thing looks like a 7 pound piece of art. I'm pumped.

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

Where? I would drive to Cedar for that price.

The Fresh Markets in Davis County have them at that price this week - they are not prime, but choice. The one in Layton had a prime rib roast for $11.99/lb in there meat case.

At $4.99/lb it is probably Spam.

Smith's in Farmington has Choice bone out Prime Rib for $5.99/lb with your savings card. Costco in Bountiful has it $9.99/lb for the same thing.

I'm stuck in the hospital for another 90 minutes and then I'm heading over (Around 2-2:30). My wife informed me that she has already ordered a "Prime" rib from Dan's. Not bone-in but it is the end cut. Don't know what she paid. Her excuse was that she doesn't want the kids thinking that I do all the cooking. I told her she could do the salad. She is also against putting cheese in the popovers We shall see about that.

handle your business, bro.

Hostile, any luck? I'm heading out of here at around 2 so if you havent gone by then I will definitely stop by and check it out.

Try the Draper Harmons. It's everything a grocery store should be. Also some of the women that shop there are easy on the eyes.

I just called that exact one! And guess what....they sell Prime. $19/pound () but worth the splurge for a holiday meal. Also, they sell dry-aged Prime for the same price as regular prime, so I think I know where I am headed on the way home.

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.

Here's the site to see what they have. I didn't see prime, but you could call and ask if they have it there.

Just called Sniders. No prime and Choice is $11.95/pound. He said that he thinks Harmons might sell Prime, but not sure. Time to call Harmons.

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

Edit. Highland Drive about 6200 South.

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?

Yes. In fact, it should be better after a week in your fridge than it is now. One of the reasons that home raised beef is better than store-bought is that a butcher will hang it for 10-14 days while packing plants hang beef 4-7.

Aging beef tenderizes it, and you'd be surprised how long you can keep it in the fridge before it goes bad. I've mentioned before that the best steak I've ever had was a rib steak at a barbecue in Seymour, Texas. The steak had been cut from a rib roast that was aged for two weeks. The guy told me that he always ages his rib roasts for at least a week, and has aged them up to 30 days.

I'm not brave enough to go over 10 days with that much invested in a roast, but a week is easily doable. With locally butchered beef you generally don't want to go much over a week because it's already been aged, and it can go bad sooner. My steaks don't keep over 10-14 days in the fridge before they go bad, but they're already aged at least 14 days on the rail to start with.
