Title: Christmas Standing Rib Roast
Post by: Old Hickory on December 26, 2013, 03:09:29 PM
This has been a tradition here for a long time.  Just Momma and me here, but we are doing it anyway.


The roast is all seasoned up with OO, garlic salt, and coarse black pepper.  The roast has been at room temp. for about two hours.

Now it goes into the preheated Bradley with the PID set at 200*, hickory smoke is on.  After about three hours cook and smoke time, it is out of the Bradley and into FTC until time for dinner.

Now after a sear in a really hot cast iron skillet.

It's time to carve.

Time to plate up and eat.  We kept it simple, nothing fancy, but we did have a Cabernet wine.

This was a juicy and fork tender piece of beef.  The smoke flavor was perfect.  We topped the meal with our own home-made eggnog ice cream with some Jack Daniels on top.

                                                          EGGNOG ICECREAM

1 gt  Your own or your fav commercial eggnog,,,, as long as it is rich in cream and egg yolks,,,,, I use Altadena here.
1 c whipping cream
3 egg yolks
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
3 tbs vanilla


Bring eggnog and whipping cream up to approx. 150* , then let cool
Whisk egg yolks until they lighten in color, then gradually add the sugar and salt.
Temper the cream-eggnog mixture slowly into the eggs by gradually adding small amounts ( don't want to cook the eggs )  Return the mixture to low heat, stirring often until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon--approx. 170*- 175*.  Let stand at room temp. for 30 min's then place in refer to chill down, then in freezer until temp is 40* or below.  Now add the vanilla and nutmeg then into your ice cream maker and process until firm.

Muebe and Smoke will know of Altadena original eggnog.  It is Southern Calif.

Hope you enjoy!!!
