    As close to perfection as humanly possible!

  2. Need any visitors to help you eat it all? I’m certain I won’t be the only volunteer.

  3. Pretty well done. You’re effort, I mean. What is the crust?

    A wee bit too rare for me but nothing a little more heat wouldn’t remedy.

  5. Lower temp cooked longer, you’d still have the beautiful core but the outside wouldn’t be so done. Still it looks yummy

    Gray band is a little thick. Middle looks good.

    I’d like to give your roast a toast! 👍🥂

    There’s more stuff on the outside than I like, but the cook looks pretty legit. A little overdone near the edges if I’m looking for something to nitpick. I’d eat it and be happy about it afterward.

    That is a fine piece of meat… I’m sure it’s delicious. If you’re going for edge to edge medium rare… Then you’re a bit off on the technique, but you’re not far off.

    You need to mention how you cooked it.

    The cook doesn’t look super even.

    I do 200 degrees at 30-40 minutes per pound with a thermometer probe. Rest for 2+ hours until dinner, then blast at 500 degrees for 8 to 15 minutes right before slicing and serving.

    I think it looks fantastic for a traditionally cooked prime rib roast. Some people are going to give you some grief over the grey banding, but that’s really difficult to avoid when roasting. Your roast only has a minimal amount, and the outer portion of the roast is especially tolerant to being cooked past medium rare (I think it’s best cooked medium anyway, and I’m a med-rare guy), so there’s nothing to worry about. I think the crust looks fantastic as well, and the interior is that nice rosy color most of us love! It still looks juicy too!

    I sous vide my rib roasts, and I have been for about 4 years now, probably cooking about 15-20 total in that amount of time. I find that it produces a more tender texture, that it’s juicier, and has a consistent wall to wall color, with absolutely no variation whatsoever. It’s super easy to get a nice crust on it after cooking it via sous vide, and there’s no grey banding at all, so that’s what I do, but there’s no right or wrong way, that’s just what my family and I prefer.

    The only criticism I really have is that you didn’t save me a piece!

    Need to go lower for longer and render out that fat a little more

    I know it was fantastic and I would house that whole thing but if you’re asking…

    your result was irregular: medium-well at the top and pretty rare at the bottom.

    Low and slow, baby. I’d still eat the fuck out of that though

    Everywhere I look something reminds me of her.
