Let’s see your main dish for Christmas dinner.

Bought a standing rib roast. When I unwrapped it the butcher at food lion had separated the bones but left them there to look like they didn’t screw it up. So I took those off, seasoned with stax, Montreal steak, and rosemary. Then tied it up with butcher twine right before it went in the oven. I’ll take after pics when it comes out

We did the whole big fancy dinner yesterday, so just relaxing and playing today. Yesterday I cooked 6, two inch thick, Ribeye steaks. I seasoned them on the 23rd, gave them a little over 24 hours in the fridge, pre-heated my biggest oven safe skillet, and pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees, put in 2Tbsp of canola oil in the skillet, hard sear the steaks somewhere between 30 seconds to a minute, flip them over, turn off the burner, insert my temperature Probes, put the skillet in the oven, take it out when temperatures in the center of the steak hit 120 degrees, let them rest completely, and enjoy. 20221225_133220.jpg

A couple Ribeyes...
250° until 128 internal.
Rest 45 minutes then 500° for 12 minutes.
The 7# was Medium in the middle.
The 5# was a bit more done.

Salt, pepper, Kinders prime rib rub and garlic cloves stabbed into the meat.

My meal was ridiculously simple, but considering I still don't have running water, didn't clean my kitchen before the freeze (and it's filthy and all the dishes are dirty) and I really didn't want to cook for myself, I'm pretty pleased.

Pork tenderloin (preflavoured, black pepper and something), roasted Yukon gold spuds with rosemary and basic Brussel sprouts. Spuds weren't as crunchy as I wanted but had great flavors and the pork was perfect. Sprouts were sprouts.

Should have taken a picture one of the best meals I have ever prepared
Prime Rib
Made a mushroom gravy with some of the drippings
Twice baked taters
Corn
Homemade bread
Fried rice (my girls requested this side dish)

Best prime rib I have ever cooked , pulled it off the heat at 116 degrees , wrapped in foil and let it rest for a full 30 mins

My fathers stupid expensive Wolf range runs WAY HOT and the thermocouple is about 40 degrees off. Ruined my 10# prime rib 🤬

That's a bummer. I had a Wolf for about 11 years - until we moved/sold that house: ran just fine. I really liked the infrared broiler feature. Hope your father can get that fixed up.
 
We had some ribeye steaks from a local farmer, potatoes with bacon and cheddar cheese, squash and Brussel sprouts from the garden. Finished it off with apple crisp which was too much.
 
Rib roast from Publix. Just roasted it in the oven this year. It was glorious. Honestly a good bit better than my smoked rib roast from last year. Also had a nice ham which turned out pretty good. I forgot to take pictures of just about everything today.

Kept it very simple this year. Tri tip roast, taters, broccoli, shrooms, and biscuits. Nothing fancy. My freezers are full and there can’t be much left overs right now. More chicken on the way. I gotta cook and eat.
