Prime Roast Beast, garlic mashed, bacon brussels, apple pomegranate walnut salad, and homemade dinner rolls. My brother Reversed seared the prime rib, with a little smoke and it was excellent despite being a little more done than my liking.

We did a 5 pound turkey breast, stuffing and gravy.

I’ve decided we have too many leftovers and next year, I’m going to be making turkey tv dinners but adding my own dressing.

We finally tried a standing rib roast for the holidays. They will become a tradition from now on. With all the crap from 2020 the greatest thing to come out of it was my wife realizing ribeye is the greatest steak to grill. She even eats the melt in your mouth fat.

Here was my attempt at a prime rib. Cooked on a kettle grill with rotisserie

What do you mean “attempt”?
That my friend “Looks Simply Marvelous”!
60 day wet aged select or choice?

Really nice looking job chef.

It was an 8lb choice from a butcher in Fargo. I appreciate the comments-I’ve seen a lot of good looking stuff on this site so just being humble. Been doing prime rib for Xmas for 7-8 years now and this one was pretty good!

We bypassed giving each other presents and instead sponsored 2 kids through the salvation army angels program. I should say my wife did, she deserves all the credit.

Ribs from Mackenthuns in St. Boni and twice baked potatoes for us.

BK, how did you cook that turkey breast????

I’ve cooked a semi load of whole turkeys but never a plain breast. One would think it be dry. We where given one, just not sure how to cook it.

Glenn, brine it and cook any way you desire to 160, tent and let rest at least 15 minutes. It won’t be dry. The folks that don’t monitor internal temp or are fear mongers are the only ones that make dry turkey breast. Lol.

That is very good of you and your wife.

All we did for Christmas dinner this year was carry out red lobster— walts favorite shrimp. A lot of you get crazy fancy with it. I may be a little jealous…

I’ve bought some store bought brines that did a great job. My personal brines tend to work well and end up being spice cabinet plus the kitchen sink. 1 cup of kosher salt to 1 gallon of water, 1 cup of brown sugar, a couple of bay leaves, garlic powder, onion powder, a couple shakes of my favorite rub…, simmer on the stove with half the water for about 10 minutes, let cool and add the remaining water in the for of ice cubes and water. At this time of year you can get away with brining in the garage if you don’t have room in the frig. Rinse well before cooking.
