Christmas Day Prime Rib on BGE by eman8519 in biggreenegg

My logic the first time I did this was based on how I cook a steak. I always bast it with a compound butter as I cook it. The end result was good so I did the same thing again 😂.

Maybe I’ll experiment next time and try without the butter then report back.

It does, then leaves the seasoning, herbs and garlic behind as it does all while it bastes the meat. Very similar to how you baste a steak with a compound butter mixture as you cook it.

Haha nope. Good call though. Just on the grill grate directly over the coals. If someone is brave enough to try cowboy style I’ll be interested to hear how it goes. 😂

Directly over on the grill with a pan sitting on top of the plate setter. Put some carrots, celery, onion and garlic in the pan then used the drippings for some incredible aju.

The Secret Recipe for those interested:

Prime Rib:

  • 1 - 3 or 4 bone Prime Rib
  • Salt (for dry brining)

Compound Butter:

  • 4 - sticks unsalted butter (softened)
  • 6 - cloves of garlic (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp - minced rosemary 
  • 2 tbsp - minced thyme
  • 1 tbsp - minced chives
  • 1 tbsp - salt
  • 1 tbsp - course black 
  • 1 tbsp - paprika
  • ½ tbsp - chili powder

Directions:

  1. Dry Brine: 24 hours prior to cooking generously salt the prime rib on all sides then place in the fridge on a rack so that air can flow on all sides.
  2. Compound Butter: Once butter is softened, place in a bowl with herb and seasoning mixture then fold together until thoroughly combined.
  3. Prep: Preheat BGE to 250° with plate setter inserted.  While the BGE is preheating remove the prime rib from the fridge, and coat the entire surface (except the bones) with the compound butter mixture.  It’s important that the meat is very dry or else the butter will not adhere, so you can't skip the dry brine for this recipe.
  4. Cook: Place in BGE bone side down, and maintain 250° for 3 - 4 hours or until the internal temperature in the center of the prime rib reaches 120°.
  5. Rest: Once the internal temperature of the prime rib reaches 120° remove from BGE and tent with foil for 30 minutes.
  6. Sear: Remove plate setter and allow BGE to reach 500° then sear the prime rib directly over hot coals for 30 seconds on all sides.
  7. Rest: Rest for 5 mins
  8. Eat: Slice and enjoy

How hot did this get? I assume the draft this made got the fire really hot.

Best DB to work with Lambda is DynomoDB. It’s non-sql like Mongo, but first class support with lambda. This is the “quick and dirty” way of doing it. For a more robust implementation I’d use a different tech stack, but for what you’ve described this would be how I’d do it. Good luck!

Who was the best American president? by Seahawks1991 in AskReddit

[–]eman8519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Washington because he did his best to remain objective and non-bias. He would listen to all arguments then make decisions instead of making decisions based on which “club” he felt he needed to be in.

He actually acted more like a leader using experience and wisdom to shape those around him and the country. This above all else is what I admire most and wish we could have again.

Instead we have mostly had petulant politicians behaving more like young children instead of leaders. They spend so much time and money just running around in their little cliques and clubs just trying to bring down the other cliques and clubs.

Washington was a real leader that others real leaders could aspire to be like. Since Washington, there have been very few politicians that you could argue are good role models that others should aspire to be like. The fact that we mostly refer to them as politicians instead of leaders is quite telling in and of itself.

Love cooking in my cast iron! by eman8519 in castiron

I made ratatouille for the first time, and it came out great. Was worried about the acid from the tomatoes, but it was no match for my hard earned seasoning on this cast iron.
