What do you do to prepare a rib roast?

[babylonsister]

My husband is grilling one tomorrow and wants to slather it with only ground pepper.
He won't listen to suggestions of horseradish, which sounds great to me.
What else could I entice him with?

PS I see this household has meat issues.:freak:

2. I'm a purist when it comes to Prime Rib

Absolutely nothing goes on it. I don't care for Peppered Meat and why distract from your lovely expensive piece of meat.

It needs to go into a 500 degree oven that is immediately turned down to 325. I then cook it at about 18 minutes a pound as we like it rare and I let it rest for at least a half an hour before serving.

Your husband is right --Do not put horseradish on your meat. Make a lovely horseradish sauce to serve as a condiment.



Everybody PLEASE for the love of God leave the Prime Rib alone.

4. He's cooking it on the grill, empressof all.

He's the grillmaster, doncha know. :eyes: But alternately, this means I don't have to do it and if he messes it up, it won't be my fault.
I'll cave and make a horseradish sauce, but no spices at all? I've never cooked any meat like that, except boiled corned beef, and even then, you have that lil spice packet.

5. Don't worry -It'll be delicous

I've never grilled one on the bbq. But I have oven roasted them plain and with just pepper. They come out great because the meat is such a flavorful cut. The bbq should impart a special flavor, too. I would be concerned that the horseradish might burn on the grill. Unless he's wrapping it in foil - which I kind of doubt. But no matter, your sauce will be great to put on as you eat!

6. OY

I love grilled meat......but it just seems wrong to grill such a beautiful cut of meat which is just so perfect roasted.

I hope it is wonderful though. Let us know.

7. Ah, memories! I will send this thread to my husband

to read prior to cooking and will give him a pass if he'd rather cook it inside.

The memories I speak of are from about 21 years ago when hub was in the Coast Guard, we had a 'new'
CG couple in town who crashed with us for a few weeks.
The young, lovely wife, originally from Minnesota,I'm sure trying to contribute,
made dinner one night, bought a gorgeous rib roast, and proceeded to BOIL it. :wow:
Retrospect is a wonderful thing.

8. BOIL IT?

God.

I once took my ex-wife's parents out to dinner.

Her mother order Filet Mignon (after asking what it was - "is it fish?") and then ordered it well done!

:eyes:

[babylonsister]

9. Heh. In Texas, well done is the preference, but

not in this house. I know, the meat is supposed to be overcooked, and you could be eating food with a leather-like consistency, but that's the way it's done.
I'll take my chances with some sweet, juicy meat! :evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. OMG! A resounding NO on the horseradish sauce!

Grill it as is. You can serve horseradish on the side, but I, too, am a purist - the rib should have nothing on it. Maybe some rosemary, or a few slices of garlic tucked into it at the most.

Any sauces or flavorings you want should be served as sauces, and not put on the meat.

11. But...but...

Emeril likes it and I saw a snippet of this show. It looked 'really' yummy.

12. Well he can afford to dink around with an expensive cut of meat

If you use this recipe you will not be able to make real gravy which is one of the great gifts of a Prime Rib. Emeril makes this stuff up just because there are fools like us who watch him to see what the next outlandish thing he's gonna do to good food.

I am rarely strident and am usually open to trying new things but the thought of playing with such a beautiful hunk of meat just seems so, so wrong. Perhaps it's the cost that keeps my coming back to my tried and true methods. I paid $50.00 for my roast this year and that was on sale! I'd be really pissed at myself if I did something to it and was disappointed.

[babylonsister]

13. OK! I'm convinced, empress!

No horseradish, he wants pepper, but it won't be ruined. Thanks for weighing in and setting this old brain straight! Seasons greetings to you!

14. I'll rest easy now

:hug: :hug: :hug:

I know you'll have a lovely meal. But, just for me...only pepper half the roast. Save the gravy!
