I’ve watch this video 4-5 times. Just bought my first ribeye package from Costco today. We got 14 steaks and 3.5lb ribeye roast. So easy.

Merry Christmas and thanks for all you do....

[@kiltedcraftworks4609]

I switched up my usual seasoning and technique for yours this year. I'm sold! Removing the ribs for seasoning was a great move. I love montreal for normal steak, and don't know why I never tried it for prime rib. I might have to add the worchester sauce to my normal steaks as well. Thanks!

I've been using the block for about a year and a half and it is a lifesaver for me. I don't have the patience, usually, to stare at my steak cooking. I wouldn't cook my steaks without it again! (I just recently started reverse searing with the probe. Super good!)

How I do prime rib is Koshers salt dry brine overnight. Then I use a melted compound butter as an injection. Next I put compound as a binder and garlic and pepper as the external seasoning. Then put on the smoker at 225 and cook till internal at 125. Next I go a with a sour mash whiskey sear in hot cast iron skillet. The let rest for 20-40min and serve.

[@carolinawren00]

A great combination of seasoning for beef is the Montreal Steak Seasoning and Dave's Steak and Burger. The Dave's seasoning has paprika that really brings out the flavor in the beef.....steaks, roasts, or even burgers.

[@davidward1259]

You can also use "Johnny's Au Jus" concentrate instead of Worcestershire sauce as a binder. Johnny's also works great as a binder for brisket rubs. Gives a great beefy base flavor to whatever you rub on. Use it straight out of the bottle, not diluted like for the final au jus. Also a Meater is a great tool. I've had one for over a year and love it!

[@TheDanielHayes]

Johnny’s rocks!

[@hckfan]

No. You’re wetting the surface which will destroy your crust.

[@davidward1259]

@@hckfan Both Worcestershire sauce (from the video) and Johnny's Au Jus are liquid, so I'm confused on the wetting the surface comment? Can you elaborate...

[@slipnslide83]

Season in-between the bone before you tie it up next time....

[@gosman949]

yep, that is the main reason for cutting the ribs off!

[@ck_sidekick8306]

Completely disagree. I don't care what cut of meat it is. If you season between flaps of meat, you end up with soggy mush spices, not bark. You couldn't pay me money to put rub on a piece of meat and then sandwich that rub under a second piece of meat.

[@ck_sidekick8306]

​@@gosman949the main reason for cutting the bones (almost) off is so that removing them after the cook is easy.

Cooking it lower than 300* and letting it rest at least 30 minutes before the high blast to brown keeps the juices inside.

[@raulesparza2342]

Great videos, my wife says your wife did a great job decorating your kitchen/set

[@Kudeghraw]

Try it on a Weber kettle grill. Make a 5 x 5 pyramid of coals and shove to the side after they are ashed. Make sure the hinge on the grill is over the coals. You can hold 250-225 and add maybe 16 more coals midway.

I have never gotten around to using the sous vide for prime rib but it sounds like it is time for an experiment,

[@ryanj9943]

Looks delicious

[@Hodgmo]

Absolutely loved the video, and I always use my Meater, which takes the guesswork out and stops me from opening up my oven/grill during cooking. Please tell me how long you put the roast back in at 500 degrees. Is it time or temperature to use as a guide? Thanks for everything!

[@wmb9419]

Love the Butcher Wizard, didn't love your technique for cooking the roast though. I am a committed low and slow guy. Oven should be at 225, 250 max. Yes, it's slower, but I am not in a rush. Having a thermometer is going to ensure that it's perfect everytime. I also like to rest it 30 minutes before searing. That way you can sear it, and slice it right away because the resting already happened. And yeah, I will age it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days before roasting. No need to let it sit on the counter before cooking. So yeah, we all do it differently and as long as your happy with your results, that's what matters, but I like meat cooked slowly. Even my whole chickens these days go in at 240. They may take 3 hours, but they come out fantastic.

[@novembersky3749]

good tips. yes slowly roasting. i cook mine in the iron cast pan turn out yummy with wasabi & soy sauce sauce. Merry Merry Christmas.

[@wandahamrick3003]

[@TheCharleseye]

I buy bone-in prime rib whenever I can. I cut the ribs off with a decent bit of meat on them. Then I throw those on the smoker for myself. Nothing like a few meaty BBQ ribs for lunch after a delicious prime rib dinner.

[@DougCarnivore]

Decent video. Bone-on Roast was overcooked. Other Roast was perfect for me. Thank you for not tossing or hitting the meat back and forth.

[@fly1327]

Personally, I like cooking lower temp, 225-250F, rest and then sear. I've found the edge-to-edge doneness and color more uniform. But I've got to get a set of Meaters; looks so much better than fumbling with wired probes. Thanks!

[@jaredcopeland5233]

Yes 🙌

[@jerrymattson9773]

Did same technique. Cook then sear. Turned out great.

[@leobarnet3662]

what im thinking

[@XXXX-lv2hc]

The good thing about your process is no resting after the sear, since it already rested during slow cook

[@joeytomato]

Prime rib is, and has always, absolutely been a prime grade. It's literally a standing rib roast if it's not prime. We've just decided that we can call anything anything now ...like how people make "burnt ends" out of cocktail weiners . It's ridiculous. "I can't afford the prime grade beef, but have some bologna burnt ends because we can just make stuff up as we go!"

[@DareDog.]

There is other KZbinr videos saying same thing prime means primal cut not prime grade.

[@joeytomato]

There are also KZbinrs that say if you smoke corn on the cob, then throw butter and BBQ sauce on it, it's burnt ends. And boys who call themselves girls. ...when burnt ends are the barked up corners of a brisket. And no matter what you call anything cooked in the same way, it's not the same thing. Prime rib hits it's hay day in the 80s... And it became PRIME rib, because restaurants were charging a premium, because they were cooking a PRIME cut.

[@twmcmahan]

You're absolutely correct. Prime refers to the grade. Rib Roast is the cut.

[@edg5218]

I think the roast cooks so much better without the bones, u get an uneven cook with the bones on unless u cook upside down for half the time then flip !

[@josephsmith961]

Season the prime rib, and let it sit and dry in the fridge overnight. Then the next day preheat the oven to 500F. Put the prime rib in, and leave it in for 5 minutes for every pound of meat. When the time is up, turn off the oven, leave the door closed, and let it sit for 2 hours. Perfectly done prime rib every time, no thermometer needed.

[@beatricethomas8537]

The difference is with your sear then cook the outer rim is much darker than the medium rare. If you sear at the end it is medium to medium rare throughout. I have really watched a lot of these videos and it really helps to look at the meat after it’s cooked.

[@inactiveuser11]

What's the brand of the roasting pan w/ handles that you used in the video?

[@sinhnguyen8135]

Can this method be used on a smoker with the same temperature?

[@EgocentricTheory]

You also cut the bones off so you can season the bone side and then tie the bones back on for presentation.

[@pbkayakyer]

1 bone for two people?!?!? I guess I eat for 2 people!!

[@ButcherWizard]

Funny!!

[@mkirby7815]

Have you ever cooked prime rib sous vide? Followed by 500* or grill browning, of course. Previously you had shown salting and refrigeration several days ahead. I’m headed to Costco on Monday!

[@t1rider570]

What cutting board do you recommend for raw meat?

[@joeweaver9913]

Is this better in the smoker than in the oven?

[@monkeyb1820]

The garlic in the montreal would probably burn up and get bitter during a sear. I just did one and did use montreal, but I just cooked indirect on top rack of my weber smokey mountain, so I didn't do the sear, but 99% of the meat is 'inside' moreso than with a steak. It still roasted up with a deep reddish-brown color.

[@richardclark7679]

Yeah, the boneless does a little better with consistent pink and not overcooking the cap.

[@vitoscatigno4207]

Now we need an app to cook meat, oh please!

[@The2Strats]

Is it possible to cook 2 prime rib roasts at the same time using the 500 degree method?

[@billb13]

Questions: What was the internal temp he set it for? @11:00, I saw a target of 125 but he pulled the boneless roast out with the internal temp reading showing only 84. And, when he set the oven to 500, how long were the roasts in for?

Went to an Outback the other day and ordered their thickest prime rib. Looked great, cooked perfectly medium-rare, tender, but, no exaggeration, it was completely tasteless. I've eaten my fair share of prime rib in my 72 years and this was by far the worst.

[@brianwebb7109]

20 minute rest , will the beef still be hot??

[@J_LOVES_ME]

Question. Did you set the probes for the same temp? I assume you did, but the bone-in roast was much more cooked than the boneless. Too cooked for me, I need the level of the boneless one. Do you think it was their position in the oven? Top rack v. bottom?

[@W2mNm]

My questions exactly. The boneless one looks more like what i want this weekend. Hopefully, we'll get an answer before Sunday.

[@reccocon3442]

Good Lord no. Hope you didn't do that yet. I'd suggest search for a chef for your cut. Hence here, he's a "master butcher".

Have them use a knife. Literally. On the plate they can cut the fat off that they don’t want to eat. Better idea is have them eat a lean cut that cost 1/3 the price

[@kevinkelly2110]

I like medium rare, I just could not find, in my younger days, someone who could do a proper medium rare in so many restaurants so I would order medium well. I had quite a few stringy rare beef orders and had to change my request.

[@praetorxyn]

The thing about Prime Rib is that it just doesn't compute in my brain, because you won't have that Maillard reaction on both sides like you will if you just cut it into steaks.

[@carolinawren00]

So here's the thing. Just like any other meat or poultry, there's different preparations resulting in different textures and flavors. One can appreciate the more delicate flavor of a ribeye roast (with perhaps au jus) just as much, but in contrast to, a ribeye steak preparation. Both are awesome in their own ways.

[@bikeny]

I get why you tie things up with the bone-in version, but what does it accomplish with the boneless version?

[@charleschapman2428]

It cooks more evenly when it's round, if you don't tie it the meat will want to flatten out causing the thinner ends to over cook.

[@ButcherWizard]

It just keeps the meat together in a uniform shape. It cooks more evenly that way. Thanks for watching

[@Sunandstar_official]

Why don’t people just cut steaks, rub and grill em over charcoal it’s 10x better

[@steveno7058]

Its a different flavor profile. I like both. Thats like saying you should only eat fried chicken and not grilled chicken. Roasting ribeye gives it a very different flavor and texture

[@joesmith7427]

500*F for 30 minutes, beautiful!!

The ends will always be a little more done than the middle. Give the kids the ends!
