OT- Prime Rib

Anybody on here got a killer recipe for prime rib? Larry on the Corner is scheming on getting a killer deal on one at the I, G and A, and I'm sure would like a good recipe for preparing it. As would I.
 
What's an I.G.and A?. In Ioway, we have a grocery store called Fareway. They have a real meat counter where you can get whatever cuts you want along with advice on cooking. FAR better than Hy-Vee. Fareway is out of Boone, Iowa and Iowa, being a small State, it's not surprising to know the family that started the company (Cramer). I feel sorry for the folks that are 'prisoners' of stores I've heard of but have never seen. 'King Sooper, Dixie something, Kroger and Safeway. We DID have some Piggly Wiggly stores but they are gone, too.
 
Interesting......I live near Milwaukee Wisconsin, but whenever I am visiting my mother in E. Iowa I always stock up on meat at a Fareway store. It is so nice to have 5-6 butchers behind the meat cases......and people waiting in line to order what's displayed in the case or have something special cut for them.
 
In a rare defeat in the kitchen......my wife now does the prime rib when we have it on a special occasion. Mine came out pretty nice, but my wife decided to actually follow the directions on the label attached to the meat. The secret is to put the meat on a rack and put it in the oven at very high temp.....400?......do it for a short time......shut the oven off.....DO NOT open the door.....leave it set as long as you want....hours if you want....crank it back up when ready to finish and eat.

I'm sure there are very specific detailed recipes available with a search, but the general method I described really works.....and I am a prime rib snob !!!
 
I just had a rib eye for dinner. Fry it in a cast iron skillet using butter, salt & pepper. 1 inch thick, 5 minutes to a side. Nice red juices in the center. Wipe the pan with a slice of bread to get all the good cholesterol.
 
Yum! Gravy bread. When I was young it helped make me big and strong. now it just makes me fat!
 
Teddy ...... my dad was a great cook and absolutely despised BBQ's (he claimed you lose too much juice) ...... he was a cast iron pan guy like you all the way. He'd get a couple of steaks, get the pan smoking (I mean SMOKING) hot, salt the pan and season it while smoking with a chunk of fat off the steak. More heat and then he'd drop the steaks in and about a minute or slightly more on each side. The kitchen was like you were fighting a forest fire .... and no smoke detector thank goodness. But man, those steaks were tender and juicy. My wife does that now and then, not so hot and not so smokey but she prefers the BBQ. Either way works for me.
 
There is a good reason for that price probably imported grass fed. Good prime rib will be 2-3 times that price or more is there plenty of fat on those cuts.
 
Brother in law was from Cashton, Wisconsin- his mother was Norwegian- she referred to the local IGA store as "the I, yee and A". You had your Luterans and your Catlicks in town- she was always in a hurry to get to the store after church "before the catlicks get there."
 
You're talking rib steak, I'm talking prime rib roast- the one they cut slices off of to give you in a restaurant when you order prime rib.
 
Says USDA Choice, which is about as good as you can get in supermarkets. If it was grass fed, they'd be bragging about it to attract the greeners, because those of us who know better are in a distinct minority any more.
 
2 tablespoons black pepper, 2 tablespoons kosher salt, 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon dried oregano and 1 teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika.



That is what I used for the last one I cooked. I did it on my pellet smoker. Suspended the rib on a rack over a shallow pan. Put water in the pan for the first hour or so and then a can of beef broth. Fantastic.

I G and A= Independent Grocers Association was a group of small grocers started in IN by a wholesaler some time prior to the early 1950s. Were a lot of them in the local area.

I would prefer to continue to live!!! so killer recipes don't interest me!! HeHe.
Some garlic, salt and pepper, touch of thyme, and onion salt works for me.

coshoo........low and slow is the way to go. Prime rib at 200*F fer about 4-hrs will give you med-rare. Then HOT frying pan to sear the outsides fer flavor. When I wuz flying fer the Appolo man-to-moon program, there was this 1st-class hotel/restaurant in Sidney, Aust that served a "Carpet-Bagger" steak. 2-in of filet-mignon with a hole sliced into the middle and stuffed with oysters. yum-yum........now why am I hungry?

coshoo- I always wanted to try a Steamship Round of beef. It weighs about 50 pounds.

Yup, I really like them too. I mean't that I would like to try to cook one.

They are awesome tasting!
 
I take an entire prime cut (15+lbs boneless), dust it with Emeril's Essence (probably not necessary), and cook to medium rare in a Char-Broil Big Easy oil-less turkey fryer.

They call it a "fryer" but it is really an infrared cooker similar to the "salamander" at a restaurant. No oil. In fact there's a big hole in the bottom where you put a tray to catch the drippings.

We have a couple places in the area famous for prime rib, and everybody that's tasted it says mine's better.
 
rub with soy sauce salt and pepper it and cut slits to put cloves of garlic cloves of gallic or sprinkle with garlic powder. Put in a roasting pan fat side up. Pre heat oven to 500 degrees cook for 5 mins a pound and leave rest in the oven for 2 hours time varies by weight and how well or rare you want it . 8lb roast would be 40min at 500 and then 2 hours resting will give you a medium rare roast And be sure not open the oven door until its done. Comes out tender and juicy Yum
