Am I Nuts? Prime Rib Question

[HeidiE]

I want to use my Berbere on my pricey prime rib..really!!!! it just hit me how good this might be ...and I am even pondering on cooking it on the gas grill..but I want it to be medium rare to rare so I need tips if you do this kind of thing please????

here is the list of spices I am going to pack on the roast tomorrow and leave it until Monday... in a dry/cold atmosphere so it makes a crust

I toast and grind together the following it is awesome try it sometime! but I am just not sure if I am going out on a limb with a prime rib is all????

the parts vary according to the moment ...so I have no exact

fenugreek
dried pequin chiles
cumin
nutmeg
cloves
cinnamon
allspice
paprika
coarse Kosher salt
cardamom
granulated onion
granulated garlic

all feedback appreciated this was an expensive cut

if I do not do the grill I will do the 500 degrees for 10 min a lb rule of cooking unless someone has a better idea?

OOOOXXXXX

I've used this recipe before, it's awesome.



Roast Prime Rib of Beef with Horseradish Crust
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence

This is truly the anti-vegetarian dish. Prime rib is one of those classics you can pull out that will always blow people away. It's a good special occasion dish, so good that the occasion may be nothing at all. When ordering the rib roast from a butcher, be sure to request a "top choice" roast cut from the small loin end, the best being ribs 12 through 10. Have the butcher cut off the chine (backbone) to make carving easier. The rib bones look best if they are shortened and frenched (the butcher will be happy to do this for you as well, unless he's a sourpuss, in which case get a new butcher).


1 (3-rib) prime rib beef roast, about 6 pounds
5 garlic cloves, smashed
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
Needles from 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
Leaves from 4 fresh thyme sprigs
1/2 cup sea salt
1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 carrots, cut in chunks
2 parsnips
1 red onions, halved
1 head garlic, halved

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lay the beef in a large roasting pan with the bone side down. (The ribs act as a natural roasting rack.) In a small bowl mash together the garlic, horseradish, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make a paste. Massage the paste generously over the entire roast. Scatter the vegetables around the meat and drizzle them with a 2-count of oil. Put the pan in the oven and roast the beef for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours for medium-rare (or approximately 20 minutes per pound). Check the internal temperature of the roast in several places with an instant-read thermometer; it should register 125 degrees F. for medium-rare. Remove the beef to a carving board and let it rest for 20 minutes. The internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise by about 10 degrees. Remove the vegetables and set aside. Pour the pan juices into a fat separator or small bowl and set aside to allow the fat and beef juices to separate. Pour off and discard the fat. You can use the tasty beef juices for Sauteed Mushrooms.

Sorry I couldn't advise on your actual question.

Re: Am I Nuts? Prime Rib Question

I don't see why you couldn't do that Heidi. The way my mom does prime rib is to just slather it with Dijon mustard, then embed a mixture of chopped herbs by patting them onto the mustard coat.

Tell us how it turns out!

Re: Am I Nuts? Prime Rib Question

Thanks for that horseradish recipe that sounds wonderful ...I just got too excited and caked those other spices on today since I am working the rest of my freaking life!!!

but I will do this again and that is the one I will do!!!

I am doing a very low carb Christmas dinner

Re: Am I Nuts? Prime Rib Question

I'm going to Mom's for Christmas Eve (we have a seafood stew, some kind of veggies, etc.) then on Christmas Day, I'm going to my uncle's house for the big extended family dinner----lots of different foods: turkey, roast beef, ham, veggies, etc.

For Christmas Eve, I'll bring a veggie dish (Mom makes the seafood stew). I haven't decided yet, but I bought a nice fennel bulb yesterday and a couple pounds of button mushrooms, so I might bring a fennel-mushroom salad.

Christmas Day: I'm really tempted to just bring ME. But I'll do some baking for the the rest of the family. Everyone like the jalapeno-cheese cornbread I brought for Thanksgiving, so I'll bring that again.

Re: Am I Nuts? Prime Rib Question

Creamy mushrooms....I remember Frugal Gourmet had a recipe where you stuffed crepes with a mushroom-cream sauce.

Re: Am I Nuts? Prime Rib Question

That sounds wonderful Heidi!

I bbq'd a prime rib once at the cottage, i just made sure that i had a pan under it to avoid flare ups, seared it first, it came out amazing.


We're doing xmas at my inlaws tomorrow and at my aunts on xmas day which is the traditional turkey dinner. she does lots of veggies as well as sweet potatoes (baked) so I have alot of choices. My MIL unfortunately is a 'casserole' person so she does alot of scalloped potatoes and those types of side dishes, though she usually does a salad and a veggie too so i have some choice.

I just made this truffle recipe to take with me to both dinners http://www.joyofbaking.com/ChocolateTruffles.html subbing unsweetened chocoate for the bittersweet, i added my sweetener to (about 3/4 cup?) to the cream/butter mixture so it would dissolve. I made a test batch and they were amazing. I will let you know how they turn out.

Tomorrow i'm making cheesecake. haven't decided what one yet...

Re: Am I Nuts? Prime Rib Question

I think this was pretty much not the best idea I had btw...I will go with the horseradish crust mentioned next time I try this...I think it would be much better

Re: Am I Nuts? Prime Rib Question

Heidi - I keep reading posts from you all over this site, and i just have one question for you.


WHAT TIME IS DINNER?

[HeidiE]

Re: Am I Nuts? Prime Rib Question

LOL Tracie my biggest frustration in life is I can not just feed everyone the food I love to make!!!! OOOOXXXX thank you ...

some people cook by recipes I love to immerse myself in the entire sensation of finding, learning about and cooking food...the entire process has and will help me keep my weight (and sometimes my crazy) level and it has and will continue to show me that wonderful food is a universal language of love
