Prime rib with all the fixings

Standing rib roasts were on sale on Thursday with a big snow storm coming on Sunday. The solution? Prime rib dinner! My family needed a nice meal, and I was happy to give them a Sunday dinner they loved.

The roast got a simple kosher salt dry brine - 1/2 tsp./lb. - on Thursday night. On Sunday I roasted it at 250° until it hit 125° internal temp. I let it rest while I roasted my squash, and then I seared it in the often at 500° for maybe 10 minutes.

The delicata squash was tossed with grape seed oil, salt, and brown sugar. Then I roasted it on parchment paper laid out with no overlap. I did 450° for maybe 40 minutes? I don’t really know - I just saw when they got soft, flipped them, and pulled them when they started to brown and char a little.

I boiled maybe 2 lbs. red potatoes in salted water and mashed them with 6 Tbsp. butter, 4 Tbsp. half and half, and 4 slices of thick cut bacon (cooked and chopped). Then I added maybe 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives, several grinds of black pepper, and 8 oz. fresh mozzarella pearls right before serving.

The green beans got 5 minutes of steam and then were tossed with lots of butter and salt.

chepox,

A tad to tender for my taste but I am no expert in primerib…

EssentialNPC,

This is a solid medium rare, but it looks a more red from the color correction I used. If you dislike medium rare, then it was not cooked enough for you.

allywilson,

That meat doesn’t look cooked properly

EssentialNPC,

It is 100% medium rare by texture, color, and temperature. My wife prefers medium-rare bordering on medium, and this roast was acceptable to her. She strongly dislikes rare beef.

I chose between a couple easy color correction filters on my phone, and this gave the best overall representation of the meal. It made the color a little too red, but my other choice made it a little too brown/beige and sucked the color out of the scene.

utopianfiat,

The fat is still opaque my dude

specseaweed,

If the thermometer says it hit temp, it hit temp.

Master,

To each their own. Sounds like op and family enjoyed it. I would throw up if i had to eat that.
