Côte de boeuf

[FlaBouy]

Well, this weekend my wife has a birthday and for all the nonsense she has had to put up with over the years when it comes to my toys in the back yard, I decided I would put some of them to use and cook her a memorable meal. I spent a few days trying to decide what that would be and I came up with a game plan... After a morning at the beach and a light lunch at a beach club we met at, I am sending her off to a day spa for a couple of hours for proper pampering.... and that will give me time to do my magic.

I have a nice dry aged (30 day) prime standing rib roast coming in overnight from Lafrieda and I plan on a nice little Cote de Boeuf and twice smoked potatoes with grilled asparagus.

Pairing will be a nice medium bodied Chateau Brane Cantenac Margaux that I have been looking for an excuse to try...

I think this will work well if I don't burn the meat.

I will document my madness with pics as this evolves.... the Rib Roast and a nice little Prime Brisket should be here tomorrow and the cook will be on Saturday... God willing and the creek doesn't rise....

Carry on

Can't wait for this write up. Have fun!

Yes, this'll be good! I like your plan, should work out nicely. As always, make sure you have enough time. I've cooked a few cote de boeuf's and they don't take long, even with reverse sear, so you should be alright. Looking forward to updates!

Now That should be well received! Sounds like a reasonable plan. Straightforward.

Just beautiful! I'm sure it will be a Birthday to remember. Tell her we said Happy Birthday!🎊

[Thunder77]

Oh my gawd, I am in tears and drooling right now!

[ribeyeguy]

Looks good so far but if something goes wrong you could always go with my old standby, cheeseburgers and a couple of Miller Lites. That always seems to work. Good luck!

[FlaBouy]

LMAO.. I am plating her food and she is destroying what is on my cutting board.. God I love this woman..
