Standing rib roasts were on sale on Thursday with a big snow storm coming on Sunday. The solution? Prime rib dinner! My family needed a nice meal, and I was happy to give them a Sunday dinner they loved.
The roast got a simple kosher salt dry brine - 1/2 tsp./lb. - on Thursday night. On Sunday I roasted it at 250° until it hit 125° internal temp. I let it rest while I roasted my squash, and then I seared it in the often at 500° for maybe 10 minutes.
The delicata squash was tossed with grape seed oil, salt, and brown sugar. Then I roasted it on parchment paper laid out with no overlap. I did 450° for maybe 40 minutes? I don’t really know - I just saw when they got soft, flipped them, and pulled them when they started to brown and char a little.
I boiled maybe 2 lbs. red potatoes in salted water and mashed them with 6 Tbsp. butter, 4 Tbsp. half and half, and 4 slices of thick cut bacon (cooked and chopped). Then I added maybe 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives, several grinds of black pepper, and 8 oz. fresh mozzarella pearls right before serving.
The green beans got 5 minutes of steam and then were tossed with lots of butter and salt.

That meat doesn’t look cooked properly
It is 100% medium rare by texture, color, and temperature. My wife prefers medium-rare bordering on medium, and this roast was acceptable to her. She strongly dislikes rare beef.
I chose between a couple easy color correction filters on my phone, and this gave the best overall representation of the meal. It made the color a little too red, but my other choice made it a little too brown/beige and sucked the color out of the scene.
The fat is still opaque my dude
To each their own. Sounds like op and family enjoyed it. I would throw up if i had to eat that.
If the thermometer says it hit temp, it hit temp.
A tad to tender for my taste but I am no expert in primerib…
This is a solid medium rare, but it looks a more red from the color correction I used. If you dislike medium rare, then it was not cooked enough for you.
It does look a little rare in this picture.
But then I like my steaks on the rare side of medium rare so this looks great to me haha.
Good job man.
