Been on something of a prime rib kick lately. Favor the approach The Pioneer Woman uses (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/prime-rib/) for crust and cooking. Got a 8 lb short end, bone in, loosened and tied from the Commissary for ~ $64 and a more recently nice whole 17 pounder bone in on sale in town plus additional discounts for less than $5/lb. Smile South Dakota is a great beef and bison area!



Cut it up into thirds. Roasted one piece, freezing the other two.


Enjoyed it rare with jasmine rice, baby scallops in lemon butter sauce, and cucumbers in blueberry balsamic vinegar. Finished up with fresh strawberries and a nice B&B on the rocks. Works for me!




The leftovers that aren't going to be consumed in a couple days are cut into very thick slabs and individually frozen. I find if they are heated up slow at a low heat they don't "cook" retaining their rare-medium rare characteristics and flavor. And of course cold it makes a great sandwich. This last 3 rib roast had no leftovers.

For an old fart empty nest retiree this shit can't be beat!

Baby scallops, wow!

And the meat price per pound sounds pretty good too.

Great looking meal and nice prices on the prime rib. Yep the Dakota's are beef country and you can find some nice prices on good cuts. Some of the steak houses out there are awesome.

I found that tip too in the last couple years, but can't remember if I found it here or Amazing Ribs. I preheat the oven, stick my Maverick thermometer in the meat, and reheat the meat back to original cook temp (e.g. 131 for leftover prime rib).

As an aside and to counterbalance the great meat prices, here's what we pay in South Dakota for high quality fresh fish flown in from all over the world. Yes this area has an outstanding fishmonger (wholesale to restaurants and retail to the public https://www.facebook.com/dakotaseafood/). Folks forget we have well over 2 million tourists visit each year and although Rapid City is of only 65k we have many many businesses that help cater to tourist needs.

FWIW I picked up some New Zealand ORA King Salmon - “wagyu of salmon” ($31.94/lb), Orange Marlin Striped steaks ($25.10/lb), as well as pair of their made in house 1/2 lb each lump crab cakes (@ $7 ea) that are every bit as good as the best I've had on Chesapeake Bay. At least I get a 10% discount being retired military. Smile



Amended to help with the prices:
--hamachi @ $18.80
--orange marlin @ $25.10
--sole @ $16.38
--sculpin @ $24.53
--Ahi @ $34.50
--ORA king salmon @ $31.94
--bluenose @ $31.94
Obviously they also have a huge variety of other seafood as well as an unreal assortment of seasoning / spices / condiments (including a wide Japanese assortment), charcuterie, cheeses, oils, even foie gras. Their facebook photos show a lot.

I can't read the prices in your pic the eyes are too old. We are in a tourist town of less than 100,000 but we don't have any high end fish mongers. Actually there is only one place where you can get any decent selection of fresh fish and it's rather expensive. I think fresh halibut runs $30 a lb.

Same with beef and pork cuts. Nothing really top shelf to choose from. We have a local independent grocery who specializes in buying cheap and selling high. He has little to no competition so you can only buy what he wants to sell you. At his prices.

So I've taken to buying my high end cuts of meat online from places like Snake River Farms or Creek Stone.

I envy you Bald1 for having such great variety at decent prices.

Amended my post above with the prices of the fish shown in the photo. Sorry about that as I didn't want to post the full sized photo.

Kinda curious. I figured our fish prices are high because of the need to fly the stuff fresh into the middle of the country.

What are folks paying in other areas?

I pay similar for fresh fish, only buy on special occasions usually. Occasionally we head to The Wharf which is a little fresh fish market off Maine Ave and 395 in DC. Last trip was for two King Crab Legs (frozen) and scallops (fresh) walked away spending $80 for the seafood.

Made fresh Fettuccine Alfredo and ate the crabs on Saturday and scallops on Sunday. These legs were huge. If was fun folding them into the pot to steam. Best ones I ever had.

I would never guess you had access to that kind of fresh fish in S. Dakota.

Looking good Jesse! Those legs are indeed huge! Big Grin

Interesting that your prices and mine are similar.

I'd have to go to the liberal haunts of Minneapolis to find fish displays like what you guys are posting pics of. I catch my own walleye and pan fish up here.
Truth be told given all the money I have invested in fishing gear including electronics, ice shelters, etc. etc. those walleye's and pan fish are probably running me $500 a lb!! Big Grin

Made my own rib roasts last night, my were just a bit smaller, racks of lamb. Invited a long time friend over. Lamb was coated in paste made of 1/4 onion, lots of garlic, lots fresh rosemary and basil, S&P, and enough EVOO and vinegar to make a paste in the blender to coat them in.

They were then vacuum sealed and sous vided at 135° for 2.5 hrs. Then it went on the smokey Joe over kingsford and chunks from my pear tree seared to perfection. We served it with roasted veggies, pasta salad and snowflake rolls. Not bad for a Wednesday night. Buddy loved the lamb, came out perfect. Didn't get any pictures of a full plate. Food was disappearing by the time I snapped this pic.

That is a fine looking meal skins! Good luck to your Caps I was glad to see them tie the series up last night.

Say Bald1 you do know Minnesota is the Walleye capital of the world right? You do know that? Razz

Plan on fishing your state one day. We go to Devils Lake in North Dakota every winter ice fishing and get those beautiful jumbo perch which is every bit as good eating as a walleye imo.

That looks fantastic! I’m going to have to try it!

Do you have any measurements for that coating?
