BLUE-RIBBON BEEF NACHOS

PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Remove the roast from the refrigerator 2 or 3 hours before cooking.
• Preheat oven to 450.
• Rub butter on the cut ends of the roast.
• Combine flour, salt and pepper together in a small bowl, and then massage the mixture all over the meat.
• Set the roast, rib side down, in a shallow roasting pan (the ribs act as a natural rack), and place in the oven. Roast for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, or until the roast is nicely darkened. Reduce oven to 350 and continue to roast, basting every 15 or 20 minutes, until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees (for medium-rare) on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes before carving into either huge slabs or off the bone entirely and then thin slices.

ROUND ROAST BEEF BOTTOM PERFECTION

Steps:

• 1. Begin by setting your round roast in a roasting pan so it can come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• 2. Using a mortar & pestle, begin grinding the garlic cloves, sea salt, rosemary, thyme, pepper & onion flake together. Add olive oil a little at a time to make a paste. Grind until well pulverized! Add as much olive oil as needed to make a semi-thin paste.
• 3. Proceed to smear this on all surfaces of the roast. Smear a generous portion on the layer of fat, which will melt into the roast, making it oh-so-juicy & delicious. Make sure round roast is fat side up!
• 4. For the Oven: Place roast in 450-degree oven for 20 minutes. This high heat will sear the edges & seal in the juices, making the roast tender & juicy. Immediately, your kitchen is going to smell so good! But don't be tempted to open the oven! After 20 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Roast for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on how rare or done you like your beef. For medium-rare roast: remove when internal temperature reaches 135 degrees. Let roast stand/rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to settle within the meat, leaving it so tender! The internal temperature will rise approx. 10-15 degrees while it is resting so, keep that in mind regarding how well or how rare you like your beef. This is a great time to start your gravy.
• 5. Cook in the Crock Pot: Follow same instructions in steps 1, 2 and 3. Low setting; allow 6-8 hours, or until the roast literally falls apart. High setting; allow 4-6 hours, or until it literally falls apart. After removing roast, mix 1-3 tablespoons of flour with drippings (depending on how much your round roast has yielded) and set on high until it reaches gravy consistency.

BLUE RIBBON BEEF ROAST

Steps:

• Brown the roast in a large frying pan.
• After browning, place in crock pot with onions, garlic, fresh ground pepper, paprika, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and water.
• Cook times will vary depending on the weight and thickness of the roast. Rotate roast every couple of hours.
• Roast is ready when the meat easily falls apart.
• Shred portions of meat in a separate bowl with your favorite BBQ sauce.
• Pile shredded beef on slightly toasted kaiser.
• Serve with you favorite BBQ sides.
• Save leftovers for your other favorite recipes that call for shredded beef.

PERFECT PRIME RIB EVERY TIME (THE BEST EVER)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 550F degrees.
• 2. Make a rub of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• 3. Apply to meat.
• 4. Place meat in a shallow roasting pan fat side up. Roast at 550 at 5 minutes per pound for RARE, or 6 minutes per pound for MEDIUM and 7 minutes per pound for WELL DONE.
• 5. Turn off oven at the end of cooking time and DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR FOR TWO HOURS.
• 6. At the end of the 2 hours, remove meat from oven to slice; it comes out perfect every time. Works the same with roast beef.
• 7. Try it you won't be disappointed.

SMOKED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• 1. Lay the prime rib on the cutting board. You want a good cap of fat left on the meat, 1/4 to 1/2 inch, can trim off excess.
• 2. Rub the entire surface with cooking oil.
• 3. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• 4. If you have the time, it is ideal to place it uncovered in the fridge for 24 hours. This allows the salt to penetrate and is called a dry brine.
• 5. Take it out of the fridge about an hour before cooking to take the chill off.
• 6. Prepare you smoker and set the temperature at 225 degrees.
• 7. Place the rib roast directly on the cooking rack bones down.
• 8. Insert a meat thermometer so you can determine when to take it out.
• 9. Add your chips or pellets for the smoke. Cherry, apple or any lighter flavored wood is good. Smoke it for at least the first 2 to 3 hours.
• 10. Continue cooking in the smoker until the internal temperature is 135 to 140 for medium rare.
• 11. Total cooking time can take from 5 to 7 hours depending on the size of roast/number of bones.
• 12. Remove to a platter and immediately tent with foil and let rest for 30 minutes. Longer if it's a really big one.
• 13. While it's resting, mix everything for the horseradish sauce. Taste and adjust. Some people like a squeeze of lemon juice or dash of Worcestershire. Make it yours.
• 14. Slice between the bones and serve. Sometimes I cut the meat from the bones in one piece so that I can slice it thinner. Then I slice the bones apart and put them on the platter and the family fights over them!

ULTIMATE POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Pat roast dry with a paper towel; tie at 2-in. intervals with kitchen string. Sprinkle roast with pepper and 1-1/2 teaspoons salt. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown roast on all sides. Remove from pan., Add onions, celery and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the same pan; cook and stir over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until onions are browned. Add garlic, tomato paste, thyme and bay leaves; cook and stir 1 minute longer., Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan; stir in broth. Return roast to pan. Arrange potatoes, parsnips and carrots around roast; bring to a boil. Bake, covered, until meat is fork-tender, 2-2-1/2 hours., Remove roast and vegetables from pan; keep warm. Discard bay leaves; skim fat from cooking juices. On stovetop, bring juices to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half (about 1-1/2 cups), 10-12 minutes. Stir in vinegar and parsley; season with salt and pepper to taste., Remove string from roast. Serve with vegetables and sauce.

SLOW COOKER PORK AND BEEF ROAST

Steps:

• 1. Melt butter in the olive oil in a frying pan over medium to medium-high heat. Cut your roasts in half so you have four chunks of meat. Salt and pepper each chunk as you wish. When the frying pan is hot, brown the meat on all sides. Set aside.
• 2. Put your prepared vegetables in your slow cooker. Lay the browned meat on top. You DO NOT need to add water, as the meat and the vegetables create their own wonderful juice. I used a 6-quart cooker, and it was quite full. If you have a smaller one, adjust your ingredients so it all fits. Cook on high for 4-6 hours. If you are going to be gone much longer, you may want to use a lower setting--use what works for your slow cooker.
• 3. When done to your liking, remove the meat and vegetables to a platter or bowl. Put the onion soup mix and brown gravy mix in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the juices from the slow cooker, and warm on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, for at least one minute. Depending how soon you plan to eat, you may want to cook the juices a bit longer in order to hydrate the onions from the onion soup mix. If you aren't eating right away, they will hydrate when you put them back in the slow cooker. Return your meat and veggies to the slow cooker and pour the gravy over it.
• 4. You have a wonderful-smelling and wonderful-tasting meal ready for your enjoyment!
