Christmas Eve dinner means one thing . . .
 

Prime Rib, bitches! I'm cooking a 10-pounder for 10 people on Thursday night. :thumbsup

That looks tasty

Nice rib.

It's not mine actually; it's just an image I found on the net, but the one I'm doing Thursday should like just about like that, but a little bit bigger.

Yummy. That looks delicious.

Delicious...looks mouthwatering!

Hard to beat a standing rib roast.

Make sure you do some yorkshire puddings with it though.

That's what I'm talking about. Exactly what I'm cooking up! Cheers!

Really? Do I have to? I know it's a classic pairing, but I do have a guest (family friend) offering 2 bring corn pudding. Is that close? or close enough? Also my brother's wife is bringing a green bean casserole, and I, in addition to cooking the meat, will probably be making horseradish sauce from scratch, provided I can find a horseradish root at a local store.

But yeah, it's hard to be a standing rib roast!:thumbsup

I do about 2 or 3 a year for various occasions ..

do you slow roast yours in a sea salt pack? That's how I've been doing mine for years.

We eat ham in the xmas, not beef, not turkey, ham.

Yummy :) Can I come?

damn that looks delicious~!

This looks so tasty!!

Damm ..........

thats our usual christmas day meal, but i think we are going to change it up and try a tenderloin roast this year.

Oh wow that looks so good, I wish I was going to eat one of those ribs! :thumbsup

It is hard to beat medium rare rib roast.

Paired with great company, delicious sides, and a few bottles of strong good red wine you will be in heaven :)

Enjoy.

I am going to slow roast it at about 250 this time for extra juiciness (after browning the meat on a cast iron to kill exterior bacteria) and top-notch restaurant quality. I haven't done it in a salt pack, no. Talk to me. I'm shopping for it all in a few hours. Sell me on it.:winkwink:

I pretty much do it twice a year and don't vary from it.

Sure . . . if you're the blonde in your avatar.:)

Not a bad idea! Chateaubriand?

Definitely. I have plenty of good wines for the dinner but my brother is taking care of it because he's got some that are at their peak and have got to go! Can't wait.
