What did you make for dinner?
A non-traditional St. Paddy's dinner. Big Grin Did have a corned beef sandwich for lunch though....

4 bone prime rib made the Pioneer Wowan way although my crust rub has a few more elements than hers. 500°F for 20 minutes and then 300°F until the meat thermometer hits 113°F. Rest until the internal temp is between 123 and 125°F. Carve, serve, and enjoy. Big Grin




Yup, more rare than medium rare is how we like it! Big Grin

And I usually don't post this type of picture but it was being devoured! Saved a bit of the delicious lip for last. Notice as the meal progress that rare - medium rare meat still was hot and cooking ending up here as medium rare for the last morsels.


Sorry. No pictures of the salad, wine, or store bought caramel apple pie (no bakers here). Smile

Not entirely Frank. Wink Of the 4 rib roast we have this pair of ribs leftover for another meal. Big Grin
Slowly heat so as not to cook it but instead bring it to a nice eating temperature.
Another roasted garlic bulb to enjoy as well.

I love the cap on the roast! Looks very yummy although I prefer my ribs done a bit more (actually depends on the level of marbling - more marbling, more done, less marbling, less done). Nice touch w/ the garlic on the side. Do you spread that on the steak or use it with the mash? Both?

I'm dying for a rib roast now - I haven't had one in more than a year, maybe two.

Actually neither. Squeezed the cloves out of the roasted bulb and consumed parts of each with a forkful or meat and / or potatoes. You can see the remaining two partial cloves on the side of the "almost finished consuming" plate. Smile

Since you're talking about taking the plunge, check this approach out which has worked flawlessly for me for years. That said I do tweak the rub ingredients and pull out the roast at a lessor internal temperature.

This was the last 4 rib section I cut up of a whole standing rib roast (12 rib) I got on sale. Some may scrunch up their nose about freezing such a piece of meat but I've never found it to suffer.

I used my local favorite grocery store and their delivery service.

Tonight I made Tilpia and mixed vegetables.

It was good.

Egg noodles cooked al dente
I used a 12.5oz can of white meat chicken (save the liquid)
Dice carrots, celery, onion. With butter and/or olive oil (I use both).
In a sauce pan, add above onions last.
After they soften, onion just start to lighty brown, add the liquid, and a can of chicken broth. Add a bay leaf. Bring to boil. Add flour to thicken into a gravy.

Butter/spray casserole dish. Mix noodle, chicken and mixture together with about a cup of cheddar cheese. A pinch of rosemary, Greek seasoning/salt, and pepper to taste, half cup of milk.

Note I added some leftover green beans. In the past I have also added lima beans.

Top with bread/cracker crums.

I used club crackers, about 10 to 15, crushed with a pat of butter, in microwave melt butter in the crumbs. Optional, which I did is 1tbs of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Sprinkle on top

In oven at 400° cook for 30-35 minutes, coverd, uncover and broil 2-5 minutes on low setting until nicely brown.

*note, you may have to adjust milk and/or add water to the gravy to get the moisture level that you like.

I have added different veggies, but this is the standard base.

I have used fresh breast and homemade chicken broth in the past, but this is a usually a fast spair of the moment, quick dinner. Total time is under an hour, on the table, quick, fairly easy, tasty and comfort food.
