PRIME RIB ROAST WITH RED-WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook roast:
• Let roast stand at room temperature 1 hour.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F. Trim all but a thin layer of fat from roast, then rub roast all over with porcini powder, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a rack set in a 13- by 9-inch roasting pan. Roast beef 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F and roast until thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 110°F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Transfer to a large platter and let stand, uncovered, 30 minutes. (Internal temperature of meat will rise to 130°F for medium-rare.)
• Prepare sauce while meat comes to room temperature and roasts:
• Cook halved onion, cut sides down, undisturbed, in 1 tablespoon butter in a 2-quart heavy nonreactive saucepan over moderate heat until browned well, about 4 minutes. Add chopped onion, shallots, carrot, celery, garlic, and 2 tablespoons butter and reduce heat to moderately low, then cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until chopped vegetables are softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste, herbs, bay leaf, peppercorns, and 2 cups wine and boil, uncovered, over moderately high heat until liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup, 25 to 30 minutes. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve set into another 2-quart heavy saucepan, pressing on and then discarding solids.
• While wine reduces, soak porcini in boiling-hot water (2 cups) in a bowl until softened, about 20 minutes. Drain porcini in a paper-towel-lined sieve set over a bowl and reserve soaking liquid. Rinse porcini and pat dry, then finely chop. Set aside.
• Add porcini-soaking liquid, demi-glace, and remaining 1 3/4 cups wine to reduced liquid in saucepan and boil, uncovered, over moderately high heat, skimming off froth occasionally, until reduced to about 2 cups, 20 to 35 minutes. Stir in reserved porcini, then reduce heat to low and whisk in 1/2 teaspoon salt, any juices from meat accumulated on platter, and remaining 3 tablespoons butter until incorporated.
• Slice roast across the grain and serve with sauce on the side.

BEEF ESSENTIALS: SHORT RIB DRY RUB

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• This is not a rub for pork... pork likes sweet. This is a rub for beef, and do not be afraid of all the heat in the recipe. It mellows out as the ribs smoke, and produces an awesome flavor, and a great bark.
• Here is what I do. I rub some salt into the ribs, cover with cling wrap, and place into the fridge overnight, or up to 24 hours. I then, take the ribs, rub with the spice mixture, and throw them into a 225f (107c) smoker until cooked... That may take from 5 - 10 hours; depending on the thickness of the ribs, I usually do not use a BBQ sauce on beef ribs, but that is up to you.
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Add the ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
• Store in a non-reactive jar, in a cool, dry place (cupboard).
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Rub into the ribs, and allow to sit for 30 minutes, before smoking. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

BARBECUED PRIME RIB BONES

Steps:

• Arrange bones in a large, shallow pan.
• Prepare Mustard Marinade and pour over ribs; turn to coat.
• Cover and let stand for about 2 hours.
• Lift bones from marinade and drain briefly (reserve marinade).
• Place on a lightly greased grill 4 to 6 inches above a solid bed of hot coals.
• Cook, turning and basting frequently with marinade, until done to your liking; cut to test (20 to 25 minutes for medium-rare).
• Mustard Marinade:.
• In a small bowl, combine dijon, red wine vinegar.
• Beating constantly with a wire whisk, add olive oil a few drops at a time.
• Then beat in garlic and rest of ingredients.

BEEF RIBS AND SAUCE

Steps:

• Brown the ribs under the broiler for about 25-30 minutes (or cook on the grill).
• While the ribs are browning, combine all sauce ingredients in a saucepan; simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the flavors are well blended, adjusting all seasonings to suit taste.
• Place the ribs into a medium size roasting pan, and cover with the sauce.
• Bake at 325*F. for about 2-1/2 hours, or until the ribs are cooked to desired tenderness.
• Baste with sauce occasionally.
• **NOTE** the sauce ingredients may be doubled if desired for 4 pounds of ribs.

BEEF ESSENTIALS: PRIME RIB AWESOME SAUCE

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• You will need a small saucepan to make this recipe.
• Storage of homemade condiments and spices Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in "Weck Jars" and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. If properly stored, this sauce should last 5 - 7 days.
• Prepared Horseradish versus Horseradish Sauce Prepared horseradish contains vinegar, and often salt or sugar. This helps prolong the life of the horseradish and keeps it manageable. Prepared horseradish is typically used as an ingredient in anything that calls for horseradish. It can also be used on its own as a condiment. On the other hand, horseradish "sauce" is prepared horseradish mixed with a number of other ingredients to create a creamy sauce that goes perfectly with steak and other meats. Some common ingredients found in horseradish sauce include egg yolks, sugar, corn syrup, mustard flour, cornstarch, salt, soybean oil, distilled vinegar, and lemon juice concentrate. Bottom Line If the recipe calls for prepared horseradish, DO NOT use horseradish sauce. Full Stop.
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Add the oil to a small saucepan over medium heat, add the onions and cook until softened, but not browned, about 2 - 3 minutes.
• Add the sherry and continue to cook until it evaporates, about 2 - 3 additional minutes.
• Add the cream, and cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 4 - 5 minutes.
• Add the mustard, horseradish, and vinegar, then season with some salt and pepper.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Use straight off, or properly store until needed. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
