Nanker Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 My dream would be to make a prime rib roast. But it seems too daunting and too expensive to screw up. We're doing prime rib for Christmas dinner this year for the first time in several years. Wifey usually makes Beef Wellington, but we're having the same guests over this year for dinner that we did last year, so we're changing up things a bit. I'll duck Chef's cleaver he's going to toss at me for this, but here goes: http://www.seriouseats.com/2012/12/how-to-make-perfect-prime-rib-for-christmas-dinner.html That's a decent source. There are others. The Intarwebs is your friend. This is a cardinal rule: DO NOT cook the meat at a high temperature, and don't sear it first either. Cook it at 200 degrees F. Don't worry about browning the outside, you do that at the end after the meat gets to about 115 - 120 degrees. And don't forget to make the Yorkshire Pudding either! Now excuse me while I duck.

Beerball Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Based on the weather forecast I'll be smoking a rib roast (as well as the yule log). That'll be Christmas day though so I can't talk about it in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmm Yorkshire Puddings. Those can be pretty tough to get right. My mother-in-law makes the best ones, she's English though and doesn't measure, just knows when it's right. Biggest thing I've taken away is after you've mixed the ingredients, the batter needs to sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOVABillsFan Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Out of curiosity, what is the size and cost of the prime rib roasts you guys are getting? How many people? I think they count the ribs in the portion ratio. IIRC 3 ribs for 4 to 5 people. Typically I spend about $50 for 4 people. I saw a larger one for $80 yesterday.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Christmas movie marathon: The Ref, followed by Die Hard. Such an awesome movie I just watched it the other day. CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 That's not bad. I always assumed it was like a $250 roast. I bought mine for $50...6.5 pounds so it should feed 6-7 of us (my daughter only eats a little bit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBud Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Small family - 7 of us. BIL and niece make chicken parm after Christmas Eve service (new last year). Afterwards, some adult beverages, euchre. Sister just moved a block and half from beach - may have to take a walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Too early to start a tradition since my daughter isnt old enough yet and my son isnt born yet but my hope is the following... Turkey dinner followed by baking cookies and then all sitting and watching Christmas movies with the tree being the only light CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Do they have Christmas in Canada? I figured you guys just play pond hockey all night and drink beer. It's probably a different day, that Canadian Christmas. Like Canada Day is before July 4th, and Canadian Thanksgiving is in October. Maybe Canadian Christmas is today?
