Just picked up a choice Double R ranch rib roast at my grocery store. On sale for $7.99/lb. I really like Double R ranch beef. I got a really nice one from the end with the thicker spinalis!

Well, I did it. $53 later ($9.99/lb), I now have a 3-bone USDA choice ribeye roast freezing in the freezer. (Aiming to cook it around Jan 5-7.)

I think that is a good balance between my experience (read: I could totally mess this up) and what I wanted to spend. I plan on dry brining, plus Meathead's Cow Crust.

I plan on cutting the bones off, as per MeatHead's video. (Also, every other video I have seen, the first thing they do is cut the bones off after cooking! I'll take even cooking over presentation!)

I got this yesterday. The cap will be harvested and set aside for cap steaks Christmas Day. The loin will either be one big mofo of a roast on Christmas Eve or or steaks to bring to a party.

Oh, it’s Choice.
