CS Christmas Eve Prime Rib

[civilsmoker]

Had plans for a Christmas Eve ham dinner but Prime Rib went on sale and we just couldn’t pass that this baby up!

Decided to do the whole treatment on this one, so in preparation for the dry brine it got fat and silver skin trimmed then rolled round with the rib cap intact!

It got a little salt in the inside of the rib cap then salted and wrapped in plastic......

And now we let it brine over night......going to kick off the Aus Jus in the am with some of the trimmings and bones.....I’m already hungry!

It will go in the heat after about 18 hours in the salt.....about 12 hours from now....

I'll be watching civil! Trimmed up up and tied like that every bite will be money! I broke one down Monday. We are doing just a portion of the "eye". Only the 4 of us this year and the kids wont eat a lot. I saved the cap for another cook..

Man that's gonna be good. Nice job on the trim and roll

Thanks SOW! That’s the plan no cutting as you eat just hogging it down. There are only 4 of us but leftovers baby! Your 20lber is crazy big!

Man that's gonna be good. Nice job on the trim and roll

Thanks Jake! I figure it would be better to trim when it s cold rather than on the plate. Plus I’m just loving my little knife. It’s like a big razor blade and just melts through the fat silver skin!

Oh man ... that's going to be delicious!

Bacon, many fingers and toes crossed!

Anxiously waiting for the finished meal Civil. We know it's gonna be mega great!

Thanks MJB! Most everything else will be simple, except my daughter and wife is making Hells Kitchen Sticky Toffee Pudding for desert! https://www.gordonramsay.com/gr/recipes/stickytoffee-pudding/

getting to go for a 4.5 mile hike in the 20 deg temp to prepare for the feast!

Going to be some good eats there

We have high hopes for sure Jim! The butcher did us a solid and saved us a nice one!

Since is Christmas Eve, I wanted the Aus Jus to be over the top so all 4 bones and trimmings went under the broiler this am for a little color

And they are now simmering in 3 pints of beef stock, 1c of red wine, and 3 tbs each soy s & Worcestershire..... holy crap the house smells sooooooooo goooooooood.....oh and another reason I’m going for a hike, I’m ready to start eating NOW not 8 hours from now!

 

[smokerjim]

you'll have to knaw on one of those for a while! hang in there you'll make, i think

 

[gmc2003]

Looking at those bones, Civil are you sure we're not going to see you on an upcoming episode of real cops?

Still waiting...

lol I should saved one from the jus! And thanks I needed that....had to break down and have a leftover piece is fried chicken.....that helped take the edge off!

Looking at those bones, Civil are you sure we're not going to see you on an upcoming episode of real cops?

Lol I PROMISE we aren’t pulling a fired green tomatoes bbq........No Sr, but would you like some more sauce with the bbq?

Chris, the wait is long be hopefully worth it!!!

 

[civilsmoker]

Just a pic or two of the hike while waiting for things to happen!!!!

kinda cool this dad has had his kids out on the ice every weekend over the past month fishing. We watched one of them bring in a huge one last week.....just cool!

This one just says it all......

Ok it’s time to season and start the magic.....I have to share this pic, this is how the cap and center blend together with the silver skin removed and a nice overnight rest!!!

so I gave it a light Worcestershire coat then made up a spice paste...

the spice paste was made with a bit of water then rubbed all over to give it a nice thin coating....

I let that set up for about 20 min then on the pellet at 225 only to wait again......thinking about 4.5 hours and it will be good to go.....if it’s running behind I will probably reverse sear, it if not will just let it roll....

I know this is just a pic of simmering stock but oh man this stuff is just magic yum!

I haven’t added any Demi to it yet and I’m thinking it will won’t need it....the bones are full of flavor!

bingo pulled it at IT 130 and then into the house oven at 130 so we could finish the rest.

It took about 40 min to get ready for the slice......fingers crossed...

all smiles!!!!!

And now just a simple plate!

PR Money!

hope all have a happy and merry Christmas Day!
