Love my in-laws but they don’t do great with steak. It’s a yearly tradition that they splurge on a late prime rib but don’t quite execute the cook or carving. Still tastes pretty good but I’m always left thinking what could have been. Maybe next year I will offer my help.

I’m honestly fine with it being higher than med rare, I’d prefer it closer to medium with the high fat content. But the carving here is just brutal. If they are doing a roast every year get them a proper carving knife next year for Christmas. Maybe even politely include yourself in the cooking and prep, if you can do it without coming off as condescending.
You know the saying if someone doesn’t ask for feedback don’t give it. Maybe you can show them the cut you want next time and let them do what they do.
Nah. If they’re paying for it, just shut up and eat.
sweet jesus why didn’t they cradle it first
I would wait a couple months, then invite them over for dinner. Prepare a proper prime rib for them and see if they start asking questions like “why does this one taste good?” And “why doesn’t it look like cat food?”
With prime rib it will still taste good overdone because of the high fat content
Buy them a Granton-edge slicer!
The only thing I hate about this photo is I just know the sliced parts are cold now
Was it still partially frozen when u put it in the oven?
Interesting way of cutting it up
At someone else’s house, you shut up and eat it. No feedback that wasn’t requested. Invite them over to your place if you wanna show them how it’s done
Here’s a bright idea instead of bitching:
Next year for Christmas buy them a nice meat slicer.

Prime rib barbacoa? That’s a new one to try. 🤣
Dad cooked out prime rib in a big easy this yesr.. over estimated the time. 4 hours later a charred beef Jerky accompanied our Mac and cheese, potatoes and salad.. what a sad, sad christmas it was.
Stop!!! It’s already dead!!
maybe buy them a knife? looks like it was carved with punches.
Tell them if they buy it you’ll be happy to take the responsibility of cooking and carving it off their hands. I did that and they were _thrilled_. So was I, because they always overcooked the crap out of it and by the time they finished carving it it was stone cold.
Rip
Looks like he’s using a butter knife to cut it. The shreds hanging from the poor thing just hurt me.

Time for chili
F for the poor rib. It didn’t deserve this mutilation.
Carved it with a shotgun
Just give me some French bread and the drippings for dip and I’ll be good with that
Buy them better knives. Or an electric saw.
This would have triggered a violent coupe d’etat at my table.
Who the fuck carves a primerib like that savages
Umm, bro
Don’t even think it looks like it has been cooked that badly. Just cut up with a spork.
The carving could be fuckin fire if they had a ton of au jus and some sort of dinner roll for easy prime rib sandwiches.
Or more surface area to eat english style soaked in the juice.
In the end it’s the thought that counts, maybe buy them a proper carving knife as a present next year.
They massacred my boy!
It looks fine, they just need a sharper knife. Maybe they’ll get one for Christmas next year
Boomers and their knives situation make me insane.
You should also offer to sharpen their knives!
They should connect with the guy from the other turkey post that can’t carve either and exchange stories.
Yeah. I feel your pain. I’ve watched my father in law ruin countless turkeys and hams and burgers over the decades. He finally hanged it up and my brother in law and his wife made an awesome Christmas lunch yesterday.
It’s the La Croix for me
Look what they did to my boy!
I still appreciate a philly cheesesteak, even though it could’ve been better.
They just need a decent knife and to be shown how.
Id personally like it a little more rare.
Not a bad job though.
My question is why?
Why are they cutting it like that lol
wow, they completely destroyed the meat
Pound it out, season it up and turn it into beef jerky. I told my parents once when a big steak got over done. If you think about it as a steak then it’s not so good, but if you look at it as beef jerky then it’s pretty good. On a rack low heat for a few hours probably ok. I’d still eat like it is but hey.
“execute the cook” was an interesting choice of words.
It looks like stretching the protein to feed the mass?
Sliced so thin it only has one side.
At least it’s not overcooked to satisfy the super well done crowd.
My preference is a little more on the rare in thicker slabs.
But I’m a slab when it comes to prime rib.
Be happy they stepped up.
Gift them a carving knife.
Shoot, I’d start with buying them a proper knife or a knife sharpener. That thing looks like they butchered it. I’m more concerned for the look of the sliced meat more than the quality and taste.
Maybe they are starting a steak sandwich business? Add some horseradish cream sauce and they might have something there
This is what you do. Make your own at some random time in the year, maybe Easter. Have them over, and they’ll want to know how you did it. Share with them and voila.
