Standing Rib Roast (Prime Rib) recipe

Ok, so last XX years.

One of our chains here called Stater Brothers do the same thing with rib roasts every year for the Christmas holiday. They even have it for $6.99 an LB, but only for select. Choice is $10.99 and prime is $18.99.

I didn't get mine there this year because I was at a different chain this year to get other things I needed. I hated paying $175 bux for a 7+LB 4 bone prime ribe, but I just got a tip from a customer for $500 bux and said **** it. 

I won't buy select. It's always disappointing. I could probably cook it in LeChef's crazy contraption and turn it in to wagyu though.  I do love choice and I'm almost never disappointed.

I got a bunch of choice ribeye roasts for $4.76/lb this xmas but even if it was select, i would rather buy select ribeye then prime london broil or top round. If you know what your doing, you can make some great steaks out of select ribeye.

I can make anything tender and season it to hell and back, I don't like select. I know what I'm doing, but select doesn't have the good fat marbling and fat is flavor. I do like choice rib eyes though.

By the way, I couldn't imagine what a prime top round would even look like, they don't have any fat marbling to grade it, lol.

Prime london broil was on sale for $3.98/lb so i figured what the heck why not. They has some streaks of fat in them. Not bad, but i would rather have the select ribeye.

London Broil is fabulous.  We buy it on sale and cook it medium rare like steak then slice it thin across the grain  for sammiches and salads toppings and salads.  Love it

Looks good, LeChef! And yes, that is a good price. If it tastes as good as it looks, stock up.

A little late to the party, however.

I cook a lot of rib roasts throughout the year, they always go on sale at a deep discount about 5 weeks before xmas and again near Easter, I stock up enough to last me the year. I don't buy very big ones since it's only my wife and I at home, usually around 3.5-4lbs but I grab a few larger ones for company.

I cook them the same way everytime and we really like the results, I'll try to remember to take a pic next time.

Similar to PapaJ's first post.

Let the roast sit on the counter for a good 6 hours or so, oven pre-heated to 500F, smother the crap out of the roast with butter then salt heavily, when you think it's too much salt that's probably about right, and some pepper of course. In the oven uncovered for 5min/lb, then turn the oven off for 2hrs, do not open the oven at all during the whole cook. After the 2hrs it's ready to slice with a nice med rare and a slight bark on the outside.

Yummy!  It's almost time again for the rib roast sales!  I am hoping I can do one in the smoker this year if we have a warm day in the winter.

I've never tried smoking one I've only cooked them in the oven.

I hadn't heard of it before but in the last 5 years it seems to have gained some steam.  I've heard it's awesome with the standard accoutrements.  Wouldn't be a long cook is what's intriguing to me.  Thinking a hot oven for 10 minutes at the end to crisp up the bark.

I've been smoking them for a long time, but it's not really smoking - more like applying some smoke at the beginning. About an hour in the pit is all you need (or want). Finish in the oven as you would any other prime rib.
