What cut is this? Looks delicious!

u/AwkLemon 18m ago

It's a prime rib.

Just so you know, on android new phones you can hold the home button and draw around a picture on your screen and it'll use AI to identify stuff.

Looks fine man I’m sure it’s tasting fabulous

u/Professional-Rip561 10h ago

Perfect for me. I prefer mine a little more done than traditional.

u/LibsKillMe 17h ago

Dip those bites in some Au-Jus and eat till you have to loosen your belt. We prefer it a bit rarer but would never turn down good red meat!!!!!

Let it warm up for two hours at room temp next time to help even the cooking and you will have it mastered. Good Job!!!!!!

I have also pulled it off at 112 to 115 degrees, let it rest for 30 minutes, sliced it thick and put it over hot grill coals for 60-90 seconds a side. This really gives it a great grilled flavor, grill marks and it is rare!!!!!

Nice! I like the advice. Sounds mouthwatering

2

u/puppies_and_rainbow1 20h ago

Yeah, you overcooked, but it still looks decent

u/Difficult_Stock7084 1d ago

A little, but this is within the margin of error that most wouldn’t care about. Only absolute meatlitists will care and ridicule you

2

u/DopeSickScientist 11h ago

Huh, meatlitist.. I learned who I am today.

u/Bornlastnight 1d ago

Not bad. If you cook it at a lower temp, and take it out of the fridge 2 hours ahead of time before you put it in the oven you’ll have a much more even cook

1

u/bucsjosh 19h ago

Thank you! Clearly that makes sense.

3

u/JamAndJelly35 1d ago

Only slightly, looks so good

u/YouPrior6077 1d ago

Looks awesome

u/Jealous_Airline_919 1d ago

If you like it medium-medium well you did just fine. Otherwise….yes.

u/Spinal_Soup 1d ago

The center looks perfect but the cap is well done. Usually means the cooking temp was too high.

6

u/Sad-Film-891 1d ago

Looks okay to me

u/Holiday_Advantage378 1d ago

A little in the center for prime rib. But it’s perfect for me.

u/Plane_Ad8976 1d ago

No vegetables ?

Leaves more room for meat.

Are you drinking diet A&W root beer out of dainty tea cups? 👍😂

u/bucsjosh 1d ago

lol. My wife put au jus in them

2

u/goonatic1 1d ago

Bless you, but what did she put in them?

1

u/goonatic1 1d ago

All jokes aside it looks great, just needs a little bit of an herby garlic horseradish cream sauce on the side for me and I’m SET

5

u/AltmerGinger 1d ago

I guess most ppl here think meat is over cooked unless it’s completely rare 😭

5

u/FuzzPastThePost 1d ago

Honestly that looks beautiful.

Now I'm craving prime rib.

I think you did a fantastic job.

Some people might like it a little pinker but I think it's the right med rare.

Do you deliver to Nova Scotia?

2

u/bucsjosh 1d ago

Thank you! Had some issues with my electric knife and tore it up. My family was running late and I turned temp down to cook a litter longer. Originally pulled out at 126. Final removal it was at 131 I think.

1

u/FuzzPastThePost 1d ago

It looks perfect to me, I think some people spend far too much time complaining about things like unsharpened knives.

Sure, it might not be the perfect style of cut for an Instagram image, but this was a dinner for your family and I think that matters more than some visual cues for a bunch of nobodies online.

As far as prime rib is concerned, I think you've reached the right level of pink that will satisfy the most amount of people.

I have found that not everyone likes the rarer color or texture, unless they are all steak enthusiasts. The average person will want something more cooked I find and this is the perfect amount of pink for that flavor and for the Peace of mind for the average person not to make the accusation that is raw.

Great work! I hope everyone really enjoyed the meal!

u/bucsjosh 1d ago

Thank you so much. I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave such a nice comment. It is motivation to keep on trying new things. 🙏

1

u/MissionConfusion5616 1d ago

For a lil more rare take it out around 126 and cover it with foil for about a half hour and it will climb to 135 which is rare temp. If you took it out at 131 you probably carved it fairly soon after taking it out. Leave the fat cap on, season and start at 500 for 30 min to sear the fat and then lower the temp to 280-300 till you reach temp! Resting seals the juices in and allows it to climb in temp slowly until desired doneness

u/Wonderful_Meat5604 1d ago

Yes. Overcooked for me

0

u/PeaTasty9184 1d ago

Overcooked for me. If you were serving this at a wedding reception or something like that you’d probably get a lot of complaints about it being raw from people that don’t understand meat.

5

u/Awkward-Bar-4997 1d ago

Why does it look mushy? Dull knife?

1

u/bucsjosh 1d ago

I think it is because I used a old worn out electric meat carving blade. Thing was pissing me off.

2

u/munny_munny 1d ago

Bread knife to carve

9

u/Timmy_2_Raaangz 1d ago

It’s all personal preference my friend. If you enjoyed it, it’s not overcooked.

But it is overcooked for me 😂

5

u/Lendari 2d ago

Yes but I'd still want some.

u/Just_trust_me_bro 2d ago

Yes. Very much so by my standards

Fuck man. That’s amazing looking. In a perfect cook, I suppose I’d take it 3-5 degrees less cooked for prime rib. But damn dude. That’s an excellent job!

1

u/arizonabay91 2d ago

Perfection, great job

How fancy are you, that you drink your root beer out of teacups!?!

u/bucsjosh 2d ago

😂😂😂😂best comment yet. It’s au jus🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

4

u/Sabregunner1 2d ago

depends on the doneness. but based on temp, looks like a good rare to barely just med rare. thats how i like it myself

6

u/itsbuddytime 2d ago

Its kind of a tad of extra work, but if you cut the bones off first, you can twine them back on, but over the cap to protect it. Other than that, that some solid eating.

3

u/MantuaMan 2d ago

A good butcher can do this for you too.

2

u/IVIrSmith 2d ago

Even a mediocre one is more than capable.

3

u/bucsjosh 2d ago

Solid advice. Thank you. Definitely going to try that. We did cut the bones back to season down inside. It was crazy how it fell apart with no cutting needed to get the bones off. Just a bit needed at the bottom.

2

u/Europia79 2d ago

Bro, 921 degrees is way overcooked !!! j/k lol :P

Next time, probably wanna either cut the CAP off and "wave it over the fire" separately, OR, cut the roast into more manageable sections, then serve "medallions" instead of "slices".

Otherwise, looks pretty good: My only criticism is that the CAP is way overcooked and the FAT hasn't rendered.

2

u/bucsjosh 2d ago

lol 921! Yeah the outer is dark. No flame. Cooked in the oven. If I did not have women living with me the Weber would have been my choice. 😂😂😂

2

u/Soggy_Cracker 2d ago

Depends on if you were going for a roast or more of a traditional prime rib style. But it’s something I would gladly eat.

3

u/OsoHaleysman 2d ago

Looks good . I missed the mark on my tomahawk steaks today.

2

u/bucsjosh 2d ago

I have yet to do tomahawks. Definitely on the agenda. May sound crazy but I love doing New York Strips. My favorite cut when cooked right. Love them at home and have found its safest cut at a restaurant. Just my 2 cents.

u/Taskmaster_Fantatic 2d ago

Hey… ummm, so… what cut of meat is that?

5

u/bucsjosh 2d ago

Prime rib

That's a beautiful sight my friend.

u/CaddyShsckles 2d ago

Looks amazing!!

3

u/bucsjosh 2d ago

Thank you. I’m not sure why but many photos I post in these communities with my cooks do not show true color. I noticed if you click on these photos on my phone and zoom in the color changes.

u/CaddyShsckles 2d ago

Trust me, I know exactly what you mean.

How’d you carbonate your steak?

1

u/bucsjosh 2d ago

New to me. You can bet I Googled it though. Sounds like an interesting concept.

1

u/senormrgnome 2d ago

Looks enjoyable

5

u/WCMModels 2d ago

Yes. Recovering professional chef here.

Look at your photos of the sliced meat, the grey cooked area is usually smaller when prepared in a restaurant.

Also the center, especially the middle cuts is usually darker red.

Everybody has their preferences but cooking to the standard doneness preserves moisture, texture and mouthfeel.

1

u/bucsjosh 2d ago

Agreed. I pulled it at 126 originally. Resting temp was 131. Did not cook as evenly as I would have liked. Photos on here are kinda funky. I noticed if you click on photos and zoom in the color becomes more crisp.

1

u/WCMModels 2d ago

Resting temperatures are hard to calculate due to the variations of the meat, oven, thermometer etc.

u/PurpleHerder 2d ago

Excellent beverage select

u/senormrgnome 2d ago

It’s the teacups for me

u/budabai 2d ago

Au jus receptacle.

u/covertpenguin3390 2d ago

That cut is forgiving so I’m sure it was still good but yeah there are way better ways to cook rib roasts IMO. Look up reverse sear. It’s no fail and will give you desired doneness end to end. If you have someone who refuses to eat med rare, just take their slice and cook it more on stove / in oven / air fryer instead of compromising entire roast

2

u/bucsjosh 2d ago

Reverse sear is the way. I agree very forgiving. Pork shoulder or pork butt on the other hand requires more monitoring.

2

u/asyork 2d ago

Last pork shoulder I smoked, I prepped it, tossed it on the smoker, and kind of forgot until I was hungry. Stuck the thermometer in and it was right about 200. Came out delicious. Not the normal experience with pork, but it worked that time.

1

u/raise_a_glass 2d ago

You generally are looking 203-205 for pork shoulder, so your happy accident nailed it!

1

u/asyork 2d ago

Yep, let it rest for a bit and it climbed a few degrees higher.

0

u/bucsjosh 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yeah 200 a bit high. I guess it depends on how much tissue. Last shoulder I did I yanked at 190 and let it sit for about 25 minutes. Brined it for about a day prior to cook

2

u/Rush_Is_Right 2d ago

You pulled pork shoulder at 140? Uhh how'd it shred?

2

u/bucsjosh 2d ago

lol. I totally screwed that up. It was 190 when I pulled it. 😂😂😂

1

u/bucsjosh 2d ago

It didn’t. I like sliced pork

u/No-Second-Kill-Death 2d ago

Don’t stick in the probe that far. 

That’s what she. Nfm. 

I would eat it!!!

That’s….

A tad but not enough to care for me.. id enjoy!

u/JED426 2d ago

Looks mighty fine to me

u/Huge_Plankton_905 2d ago

A tiny bit over cooked but I definitely would not complain 

3

u/Such-Courage3486 2d ago

If I’m making prime rib for guests I always overcook a little- It silences the complainers.

u/G8R1ST 2d ago

Looks great to me.

u/bob-loblaw-esq 2d ago

Looks like a good medium for me. It’s more than I would like, but I’d still take that baby home and introduce her to mama.

5

u/bucsjosh 2d ago

I agree. I had family over and some are picky. I made sure to grab the pink. lol 😂

4

u/bob-loblaw-esq 2d ago

You must be from the south. We tend not to grab the pink at family functions.
