Well it’s a couple days late due to my work schedule, but I’d say this year’s Thanksgiving meal turned out perfect! There are some slight changes I’d do next time. I think next time I’d trim more fat off the outside. I did trim a little off, but all the butter herb crust was on mostly inedible fat. So it was kind of a bummer I didn’t get to taste that good herb flavor on the outside. I did get one section of the outside with no fat and the herb crust was outstanding. This 5lb prime rib took 3 hours at 250° with some cherry wood. Probably would have gone a little faster but I kept peaking at it. 🤣
Served with some horseradish sauce and red wine demi glace gravy, homemade Mac and cheese with a sourdough bread crouton topping, and crock pot red wine beef stock mushrooms, and my wife’s cranberry/pineapple/apple jello salad !

I just wish there wasn’t so much fat you have to cut away! I mean, I know that’s the name of the game with prime rib, but I feel like 1/4 of that slab was pure fat I had to cut off.
