I have the pleasure of enjoying a December 25th birthday and traditionally always make the call to have rib roast for dinner. This year was no exception so I ordered a couple five-ish pounders from the butcher earlier in the week on Monday and picked them up Thursday.
Seasoned generously with Q-Salt Friday morning.
Followed by a wrap to get the osmosis action working it's magic and then tucked them away into the fridge until yesterday around noon.
They went onto the Oval yesterday running +/- 240* (about as low as it likes to run) at 2 pm and they looked like this about halfway in.
To give our guests options for doneness, one was targeted for 125* and the other for 132*. One was a couple ounces heavier and as it worked out they both finished within a minute of each other after a little over 2.5 hours. They were pulled, tented and rested for about half an hour and then seared off for quick spell in the oven at 550*.
Here's how they turned out... note the pics make them look a little more done than they really were.
I took an end piece and it was fantastic. Most everyone else opted for middle cuts and gave rave reviews. I didn't get a chance for any plated shots, but all in all I was super happy with how they both turned out.
Thanks for looking and I hope you and yours had a very Merry Christmas! :mrgreen:
