Even the red parts were dry and tough. If I make an au jus, I could probably soak the sliced meat for sandwiches.

Welp, can't win em all.

    Shave it make philly cheese steaks. And disown the ones that screwed it up

    Get a slicer and make cold cuts (Roast beef freezes well). Happened to me years ago.

  3. Well…they turned that into sub-prime rib really quickly…

    No amount of horseradish will save it.

    That’s such a damn waste of not only good meat but the MONEY! Omg I would be furious. Last one I bought for Christmas dinner was $400. I can’t imagine your frustration.

    Bung it in the oven for however much longer it takes to become a piece of coal, together with a couple of potatoes. Tell the family this is for their meals for the next few days.

    Retire to a steakhouse to fulfil your craving. Send them a video of you eating steak.

    Start slicin for steak sandwiches and I’d take bout 20 of them for myself

  7. So how many times did they open it to check on the meat? 🤨🤨🤨

    I’ve been cooking roasts for 40 years. You can’t convince anyone it isn’t blood. It’s a shame.

  9. Taped shut with a giant sign that says DO NOT TOUCH OR PARISH, is the only way to do this in a house with anyone else

    My mom’s prime rib came out like this for Christmas, and her and my dad thought it was too raw… was chewy as fuck

    This is why I started doing mine on the smoker, it’s actually really good.

    I used that recipe several times in the past, but there came a point where the oven was going to require too much use toward the end of the cook. Went with a reverse sear and it allowed others with casseroles and sides to make use of the oven at temperatures that worked. Won’t fix stupid, but can accommodate others.

    Unlucky, man. That’s one heartbreaking photo.

    I’m brand new here but have been cooking steaks my whole life 😂 I understand on so many levels why everyone is adamant and anal. My friends joke that I like mine “still mooing” while everything they eat is well done, lmao.

  14. Ovens really need a prime rib setting that disables all controls and engages the self-cleaning lock.

  15. HopelesslyContrarian

    What the fuck is wrong with your family? Did you buy the steak? This is so utterly disrespectful.

    You should actually consider whether or not these are good people to have in your life. Screwing with hundreds of dollars worth of food is not just a quirk – it is actually destroying your hard work.

    Blood or not, someone who does shit like this is probably a fucking problem.

    What did they do anyways? Just turn up the heat? Why would someone do that.. if they opened it to look, it wouldn’t overcook it

    Au jus is not a noun, it means “with juice”. You would make a jus or serve the prime rib au jus.

  18. Financial_Top_3893

    Just go ahead and make chipped beef and serve the offending parties a depression meal of “shit on a single” as their punishment

    I didn’t scrape the top off for the photo.

    I always put a chair to block the oven; it’s off but slowly cooking for another 2 hours.

    Cook time = 5 minutes * LB (500 degrees) – this was approximately 10 LBs, but I reduced the time to about 35-40 minutes, vs the “50 minutes” the process calls for.

    It was kind of raw toward the middle and could have gone the 50 minutes, TBH.

    I’d still eat it.

    Ultra thin sliced on this sandwich

    I used to manage a steak house in a hotel. We shared parts of the kitchen with the hotel’s catering staff.

    I had 4 prime ribs in our giant rotating oven, and the hotel baker cranked it up to 375 to make cinnamon rolls.

    Luckily, I caught it in time, and gave that dude a tiny little piece of my mind.

    One year, my brother in law set prime rib out to come up to temp before he roasted it up for his Christmas party. My mother in law walked into the kitchen and, to be helpful, proceeded to chop it up and stir fry it with vegetables. People just can’t seem help but mess around with other people’s meat. I don’t get it.

    Unfortunately more than half of my family would still want that more cooked. I don’t make rib roast anymore for family gatherings. Happy to just cook one for myself though!
