Sunday was running way behind, so the Prime Rib didn’t make it to the oven. Monday and Tuesday ran long as well. On Wednesday, u opted to use the delay bake feature, and I put the beast in the oven at 8am with a plan to eat at 5pm. It worked!
The rub is simple: 2 parts salt, 2 parts pepper, 1 part dried garlic, 1 part dried onion, and 1 part paprika. Throw it in a spice grinder until smooth. Oil the beast and lather in rub. 250 forever until 130 in the middle.
I served it with a mash that was similar to a recipe in the NYT last week. My recipe is below.
