Another experimental cooking method for me. I've cooked all kinds of beef, steaks, roasts and the process has never changed. Sear all sides dark in a cast iron pan, finish off in a lower oven ( 300 say ) or finish off in the pressure cooker ( as in stew ).
Well today when I visited Metro they tempted me with their Prime Rib Roasts. I invested $43 for an approx. 4.5 lb one.

Just to be sure I Googled " what is the best way to cook a PR roast ? "Shocker! They do not recommend my tried and true sear first, cook after method. They recommended a reverse sear approach. I watched 3 different chefs videos.

Sadly, I did not have the time to do all the " waiting " steps, like letting the darn thing sit all rubbed with salt in the fridge uncovered for a day! I gave that 3 hours, then smeared the butter herb mixture all on top. Another rest period of 2 hours while it came back to room temp.
It is now in a 200 degree oven for approx. 1 hour and 23 min. If at that point the internal temp says 130-135 I am o.k, with that. DH does not like blood running from his beef, so DS and I will have to tolerate it cooked medium well instead of medium rare.
After the 200 degree cooking it must rest covered in foil for an hour, then finally it gets returned to a preheated 500 degree oven for just 10 minutes.
They claim it will brown and crust up on all sides in that final cooking. It better because we're kind of salivating and tired of waiting.
Sides are reheated Christmas veggies and spuds!

On a mission to clean out the freezer on the bottom of our fridge....tonight we had homemade pasta sauce pulled from the freezer with penne and ceaser salad.

Decided on Beef Stew with Homemade Dinner Rolls.

Wasn't sure Mom would want Stew as she mentioned her Tummy was off but when I said it her only comment was, if you make Stew we need to make Buns. I can do that.

In the Stew will be Carrots and Potatoes with a Garden Cocktail base.

Last night's dinner was enjoyed...eventually...lol. We ate at 9 p.m. and the candles DH has set out were half burned away! lol
If I make this prime Rib Roast again using the reverse searing method again I will certainly make sure I do not " skip over " some of the waiting steps.
They are important it seems. I'll definitely have it sit rubbed with salt in the fridge uncovered for a full 24 hrs. Will for sure allow it to come back to room temp. ( 2+ hours apparently ) before I do the first low temp. cook.
The beef drippings were just pouring off once that final 500 degree cook happened.
The drippings were turned into a rich thin gravy ( red wine added and thickened just slightly with toasted flour/water mixture )

This morning I cut all the remaining meat into small diced bits, added some of the remaining spuds and veg to make 2 meat pies. Used the very last of the roasted sweet potatoes from Christmas to make up a small batch of soup. Added white wine to that.

The turkey carcass is in the freezer....I think a soup is not far off in the future.

Tonight we will have:

chicken and steak -( odds I found in freezer) corn, green beans, perogies (So much sour cream in fridge) and ceaser salad

[SassyAshley]

Since we are not sure when we will be able to have Christmas Dinner with Bro & his Fiancee, we will have the Ham we bought for Christmas Dinner tonight with Mashed Potatoes and Veggies. I still need to decide on the veggies, we have Butternut Squash, Brussel Sprouts, Carrots, Corn, just need to pick one or two.
