How I stole a prime rib.... sort of.

[Steve B]

So I was planning on grinding up some burgers on Sunday, a mix of chuck,short rib and brisket. Than I get an email from Fairway, prime rib roast on sale for $13.99lb. Well there goes the burger idea. Anyway I get to Fairway pick out a roast,bigger than I need, pick out a smaller one, too small. Said wth give me the bigger one, more sandwiches ect... The butcher puts it on the scale and it's showing up $14.99lb so I say it's supposed to be $13.99lb. He comes around to the front of the meat case where there are 3 prices. 19.99, 14.99 and 13.99 hum. He goes back and while mumbling something about not giving a s#£t. He than takes the smaller roast puts it on the scale weighs it and puts that sticker on the big roast. Saving me about $47.00. See first pic. Needless to say I couldn't get out of the store fast enough.

Right out of the packaging

now after deboning and trimming I have a 4.2lb tied up roast, a 3 rib section and I'm feeling some love in the back corner

At the price of the bullets I am definitely not getting enough practice with it. But I have found it to be the best in the safe at 1000 yards + and I can hit the broadside of a barn at a mile....sometimes even the door that I am aiming at.

[Mr. Bones]

Super great deal!
When's the cook(s)?

[Steve B]

Actually the roast is going on around 3:30-4:00. Right after I steam clean my LSG and get the temps stable.

That's awesome!

[RonB]

Good deal.

[HawkerXP]

[EdF]

Life is just so good when you sit down to a plate like that!

[Steve B]

Thanks EdF

[troymeister]

Nice!!..What a great deal!!

[SlushDeezey]

Karma. I'd watch out for pianos falling from the sky the next few days.

[Spinaker]

Great looking cook! And one hell of a deal. Did you use Mrs. O'Leary's Cow Crust? I love that stuff!!!!

[ecowper]

Mrs. O'Leary's is my favorite for beef roasts!

[Steve B]

Thanks Spinaker and yes Mrs. O'Leary's it was.

I scored some nice prime rib at Publix for $5.99 a lb. I may christen the KBQ with this.

[Steve B]

Nice

I'm heading to publix to pick one up tomorrow. Cooking on Saturday, so I made the meat manager promise me it would still be on sale then. lol

[Butchman]

Prime is on and smoking at 205 degrees, any one know approx time for 2 pound cut?

[Spinaker]

Great set up.

[EdF]

With that rig, I'd start checking at an hour for 120-125. What temp do you have on the dial? Maybe 181, then plan on a sear afterwards? The KBQ is quick because of the convection. You can probably up the temp if you're measuring it, to swing around 235 (not dial but at the exhaust stack - I just stick a Thermapen in the hole in the controller).

[Butchman]

Thanks EdF, you were pretty accurate on the time estimate. I realized I better crank it up a bit and then things came together nicely. My plan was to pull it at 120 125 cut it in half and sear it. I checked the temp and pulled it at 132, cut it in half and decided it was to done for searing. It was delicious and I nearly ate the whole thing because my wife is trying not to eat meat! There's about 8 to 10 oz left. I'll eat it with eggs in the a.m.

[Steve B]

That looks great. Steak and eggs SWEEEEET.
Something tells me you didn't need that serious butcher knife to cut through piece of beauty though.

[EdF]

Beautious!

[EdF]

Steak and eggs! Bummer!
