Christmas Prime Rib.
I buy bone in and separate the rib from the roast and tie back.
I Salt it heavily the night before and leave it uncovered in the fridge.
Two hours before I cook I take it out of the fridge and I prepare a butter garlic herb spread that I cover the rib roast. The heavy butter cover gives it a nice crust. Butter, fresh Rosemary, fresh Thyme, fresh Garlic, Salt, Pepper…don’t be afraid to do heavy salt on it.
I cook for 15 mins at 500. Then I drop it to 325 for about 12 mins per pound.
Wait about 30-45 mins to carve.
This is a little darker than I like…I had some guests that didn’t like it mooing a lot. Otherwise I would have taken it out of the oven at 118-122.
I make gravy with the drippings add a 1/2 cup of the drippings, 1/4 cup of flour, 2 cups of beef broth but I prefer horseradish on mine. Nice meal that would cost a fortune at a restaurant and a once every so often treat because of the cholesterol.
I like Cranberry with my Prime Rib. We do it from scratch.
Not only do you have very good taste in football teams - you have it with holiday food selection. I LOVE cranberries so I'll have to remember that next Christmas. We also had prime rib and bought it with the bone in. The Acropolis Meat Market we bought it at provided the instructions very similar to what you did. They had us start it at 500 degrees for the first 15 minutes; then they advised turning it down to 325 degrees for 12-15 minutes per pound (depending on how you wanted it). Luckily, my wife cooked it so it came out medium rare to the preference of our company. It was delicious!

Thanks…I hope the New Year is good to you. I usually do Prime Rib Christmas or New Years. This year it was early. My friend wanted me to try smoking it- I just couldn’t do it. I may try it next time.
My Dad used to turn the oven off of after the high heat…he would have it on for an hour at 500- turn off the oven and keep it closed (tape it shut actually lol). I like crust on it which it provides at a high heat…but slow and low is my principle with good cuts of meat.
I’ll share my cranberry recipe. Nice combo with Turkey or Prime Rib IMO

So, in case going out to a restaurant is on anyone's agenda for the big game...
a group of us went to the Outback.
There was really good. and really, really bad.
The good - regular shrimp, steaks, potatoes/salads were really good. The dark brown bread they bring out, was terrific.
Then, the Shrimp on the Barbie appetizer. Nasty - so much hot pepper on it, it ruined trying to eat the shrimp. I ate one, no one else wanted to try them.
and the 4/5? shrimp were on a a flat piece of the dark brown bread. Well buttered. I tried a bit of it, thinking it to be like the bread they bring out first.
Nope. The bread was disgusting. It had some kind of nasty, sick herbs? in the butter. It smelled bad...and tasted worse. One of our group also tried it - and she too, spit it out in a napkin.
That bread smelled and tasted like....eh....maybe it was buttered with dirty possum? smelly salt.
And, a couple of others had a relish in a side dish. It tasted very sweet, and pungent....and weird. Just really strange, and not in a good way.
Not our cup of tea.

Not the biggest fan of Outback.

never been to one
Long ago the one by us was great, waiting lines from one to two not uncommon but now like many other restaurants like the Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse and others not so great.
I suspect the "HELP WANTED" situation everywhere has a lot to do with that. The lack of good qualified help is a big problem even with cooks and servers.

Of that type of steakhouse, I like Longhorn the best.
The problem IMO is that "mid range" steakhouse is getting squeezed out. Costs keep going up, so to keep prices in that mid range, quality or portion has gone down. In this country you can't fool with portion too much as many equate portion and quality with the same eye.
If you go to the budget steak house, you go in understanding what you are going to get. Outback and the others made their mark by selling a decent steak at a decent price.
The problem is you can't get a decent steak at a decent price anymore. If you want a good steak, you end up paying $50-60 minimum , ala carte.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -
Well, I'm not an expert on steaks, but we love Texas Roadhouse. But costs are going up - prices are as well, as a rule.
I'd raise cattle for beef, but the girls will give them names and beef will not be allowed to happen. lol.
Maybe I will raise pheasants...... used to hunt those back in the day - they were terrific.

The last time when I called to put our order in for pick up I WAS REALLY MAD they dropped my absolutely favorite sandwich out there "The Maverick" a prime rib delicious sandwich. And we have several gift cards there.
Plus the loaded potato soup was so plain and barely half filled..... I used to really like it. Needless to say it was a disappointing meal for me. My wife's meal was ok. Longhorn just moved down a notch on my list -but- I will give them another chance before long.
You never want to judge a restaurant by one "notsogood" experience and I do chalk it up to the endless "HELP WANTED" signs ..... everywhere. A definite C- meal from me being generous. mjp.

i go to ruth chris everytime we make the trip to seattle or those on the east coast also ?

never been let down a great place to have a meal
It is....but now you are getting in to the top end chain steak houses. That is where it is usually ala carte pricing and the average plate price for a full meal starts jumping upward of $75 a meal. We have a Ruth's in town and my wife and I eat there 6-7 times a year. Great place, but it is rare my wife and I get out of there for under $200, not counting tip.
Just like I won't compare steak night at Golden Corral to Outback, you can't compare Outback to Ruth's, or Morton's or several other of the top end chains.
Now, I just usually go over to Mainstreet Meats and pick out a couple of prime steak and cook them at home. We eat there as well.

Time for another winter (or any season) meal and good for before, during or after any • GAMEDAY ° or family favorite meal.
Another one of our absolute best "go to" meals in our chicken recipe collection. Our CRAZY GOOD ROSEMARY CHICKEN ! This is a good chicken brest in a skillet on the stove recipe. We also occasionally like to mix in some dark pieces and adjust the recipe some, it's your choice. And don't forget to check out the Notes and chicken recipes below you won't be disappointed.
SERVES 4 COOK TIME 1 HOUR AND 15 MINUTESYou can serve up a restaurant-worthy dinner while sticking to your budget, with this easy recipe for Crazy-Good Rosemary Chicken. These juicy chicken breasts are topped with a flavor-packed sauce made with some onions, a little lemon juice, a splash of wine, and a bit of mustard. The results are amazing!
• What You'll Need ... (in ours we may add dark meat and adjust contents)
- 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts ( NOTE : sometimes add dark and adjust)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Zest of 1/2 lemon
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (from our herb garden, ummm-ummm)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced onion
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• What to Do
- Between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper, pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a fork, poke chicken several times (this helps the marinade penetrate the chicken).
- In a large bowl, mix 1 tablespoon oil, the salt, pepper, lemon zest, garlic, and rosemary. Add chicken and toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Coat the chicken breasts in flour. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil until hot; cook chicken breasts 5 to 7 minutes per side or until chicken is golden brown and no longer pink in center. Remove chicken to a platter and cover to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook onion 3 to 4 minutes or until soft. Add lemon juice, wine, and mustard; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly reduced. Serve chicken topped with sauce.
