PRIME RIB WITH RED WINE-THYME BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• For the butter: Combine the butter and thyme in a food processor and process until smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Scrape the butter into a ramekin, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold and the flavors meld, at least 2 hours and up to 48 hours.
• For the prime rib: Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator 2 hours before roasting. Pat the surface dry with paper towels. Make 8 small slits over the surface of the fat cap and fill each slit with a whole garlic clove.
• Place the roast on a large cutting board, then brush with oil and season heavily with salt and pepper 15 minutes before roasting.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the roast, bone-side down (fat-side up), in a large roasting pan fitted with a rack. Roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until a digital instant-read thermometer inserted into the center and ends of the meat registers 125 degrees F for medium-rare doneness, about 3 hours. Start checking the temperature after 2 hours.
• Transfer the meat to a cutting board with a juice groove. Pour off all but a few tablespoons of the fat from the pan, and place the roasting pan over two burners set to high heat. Add the shallots and the remaining 3 cloves chopped garlic, and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and vinegar and cook until reduced by three-quarters, about 5 minutes. Add the stock and peppercorns, and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Strain the sauce into a medium saucepan set over low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced a bit further. Slowly whisk in the cold thyme butter and cook until the sauce thickens (do not boil or the sauce will break). Season with salt and pepper. Finish with a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar and the chopped parsley to serve.

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.

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.
