Before and after of my Roast Beast

[Baked]

I'm very disappointed that we don't get to see Fritzo's cut meat.

 

[Fritzo]

ANYWAY....

Made some sauteed green beans to go with it:

And of course some giant baked potatoes (covered in olive oil, kosher salt, and a hint of chili powder before baking):

What's great about baked potatoes when doing a roast is you can essentially put them on the top rack of the oven and let them cook at any temperature. The high heat in the beginning helps crisp up the skin with the oil and salt, giving a flavor like a creamy hash brown. Delicious!

(Sorry about the potato pic...pulled it off my Canon taken at 150000000 megapixels)

I'm not saying the OP did it wrong, but I cooked a nearly identical sized prime rib for Christmas. I put it in the oven, on convection roast for *10* minutes at 550. Sorry, Magnus, I would have seared it in a pan on the stove, but didn't have a pan large enough. After 10 minutes were up, I dropped the oven down to 225 degrees. And I certainly didn't have it in there for 3.5 more hours. My guests were thrilled that it was nice and pink all the way through. Except for two guests who like it well done. For them, while the roast was resting (and the broccoli steaming, and the twice baked potatoes with bacon & cheddar cheese baking for the second time, and the corn cooking - I cranked the larger oven to 500 & started heating up some cast iron frying pans. And... they were thrilled as well. And, what's good about my stove is that I have two ovens, so I can bake the potatoes at one temp while cooking the roast at another temp.

Don't forget to drizzle some Vinegar that you had to sign for on it.

prime rib isn't my favorite, but that's what the family has (among other things) for christmas. as always, cooked to med-rare perfection and a delicious au jus. if i had my choice i'd take a nicely marbled t-bone/porterhouse and toss the gristle.

 

[EliteRetard]

I had 12.7lb of prime rib, and 8.5lb of prime rib. Medium rare.

I was very full.

For three days.

But it was only $5/lb

Actually I was still full today, but I started to eat some of the appetizers...once those are gone I'll get to the rest of the main course, and then the dessert (I have 3 pies and a cheesecake to eat). Why is good food so horrible for your health (actually I do know the answer to that)?

 

[Anubis]

im not saying it wasn't good but ive always have better luck starting at a low temp and then taking it out at the end and cranking the oven to 500 and tossing it back in for 10-20 to get a crust on it

 

[sourceninja]

I've always seared in a pan or on the grill, then roasted at low temp (either in the oven or on same said grill). I'll have to try this method to compare.

Strange that you would bring that up.

GRRRRRRRRR

Sorry. I was the carver too. Can't hold a fork, knife, and a camera.

You could have delegated

 

[SpatiallyAware]

No pics, but I did a boneless leg of lamb on my big green egg for xmas and it turned out amazing... /brag

 

[sactoking]

I just searched an the 3 recipes that I found stated to heat at 450 until browned outside and then reduce heat to 225 for several more hours. Seems about what the OP did, no?

Indeed, my fav recipe calls for the roast to be cooked at 500* for about 60-75 minutes, then you turn off the oven and let it sit inside for 3 hours.

Cut that damn thing open so we can start drooling!!!

The best parts are on the outside anyway. Tasty, crunchy, chewy, yum.

I imagine this might vary a bit depending on the oven? Some are better insulated than others, right?

Yup, but if you have a shitty oven you're probably going to get shitty food from it regardless.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

Can one of you boys come over and show me how do do meat properly?

LOL

Usually electric ovens are very well insulated, and gas are poorly insulated. It has to be this way - gas ovens have to vent the combusion gases (mostly CO2 & H2O.) If I turn our electric oven off after it was at 500, it'll still be pretty warm 3 hours later. If I did that with our old gas oven, it would be just about equalized with room temperature in well under an hour.

wow..yumm

sixone loves my roast beast.


looks good op. guessing you handle your meat as well as your fiddle sticks.

I'm fairly certain there is an open air vent through the top of my electric oven. Perhaps it's a matter of thermal mass; electric ovens may be built with thicker walls, or maybe your gas oven was just not very good.

You don't sear a prime rib roast at 500 degrees PERIOD! OI, where the hell did you learn to eat expensive meat cooked that way? I'm serious, I've eaten and cooked all over the country and have never seen that done to a prime rib roast.

Seems like everyone loved his meat. Looks like he did it right.

Speaking of bulk meat, I went to Costco today and got 20 lbs of beef stew meat, pork shoulder, and lamb chop. Gonna make chili tonight.
