How Do You Want Your Prime Rib, And What Do You Want With It?

Cafe Society
21

  1. rare

  2. au jus. Do the mushrooms count as a topping or as a side?

  3. side salad, definitely. Veggies? Maybe. Usually rice, but I’m not feeling the need at the moment.

As a drink? Sadly, I have to stay away from both the alchohol and the caffiene. And I should stay away from the sugar. Got a diet Sprite? If not, water will work.

22

Blood rare, please, with some nice peppercorn gravy and a big dollop of creamy horseradish, and a side of roasted asparagus and Yorkshire pudding.

A glass of d’Arenberg Sticks and Stones would be perfect to wash it down, methinks.

23

  1. Outside cut, if it is available. I love it when it’s a little crunchy. Perversely, if that’s all out, I’ll take a slice of rare. Thank you.

  2. Gravy and a ton of horseradish, please.

  3. Baked potato with butter, sour cream and onions, yorkshire pudding, string bean casserole (string beans, mushroom soup and Durkee fried onions.), Bourbon yams, please.

A bottle or two of Argentine malbec, if you please, sir.

May I offer to bring some maple syrup and hazelnut baklava I’ve been experimenting with making? Or a Jack Daniels pecan pie? Just say the word…

How very kind of you!

24

  1. Rare, please.

  2. Horseradish cream sauce.

  3. Yorkshire pudding (or Popovers) and an artichoke with hollandaise sauce.

(Sigh…That used to be my family’s Christmas dinner.)
And for dessert, chocolate mousse with creme anglaise and shavings of white and dark chocolate please.

25

  1. Rare, please.

  2. Horseradish sauce and gravy

  3. Mashed potatoes.

  4. A nice Cabernet at room temp.

26

  1. Rare side of medium rare

  2. Horseradish sauce and au jus

  3. Pilaf or mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach like they serve here..

  4. Some red wine, some iced tea.

27
  1. Medium well – just barely pink, well done on the outside
  2. Horseradish is lovely, the spicier the better, maybe mix a tidbit of cayenne in it?
  3. Potatoes Au Gratin is always lovely, especially with lightly steamed broccoli
  4. I don’t drink when I eat, so just give me an extra helping of the lovely red meat!
28

I will take mine Medium with Au Jus, and a side of Au Gratin potatoes (if you have the Bill Knapps recipe, that would be heaven.)

And a tall glass of cold milk. (2% preferable, but I am not that picky)

Thank You!

29

Medium, kosher salt, Au Jus and a bit of horseradish
Crash Hot Potatoes with chives
Corn on the cob with a lot of butter and salt
Diet Sprite or water

30

Why thank you,

Medium rare, just a bit of Au Jus

A huge baked potato, butter, sour cream, chives.

Some nice creamed spinach.

and since I’m just not a wine person, I’ll have a nice lager thank you.

31

  1. Rare. Bloody. Still twitching would be fine.

  2. A little au jus on the side, and some horseradish

  3. Baked potato with the works

Mmmmmmmmmmm.

32

  1. Mid-rare. Or actually, if you’re really good, rare and bloody but still somewhat warm (I hate cold steak). I used to think this was one of the Magic Temperatures of Steak that I used to rant about people ordering back in my restaurant-worker days, but then a chef taught me that you can actually do it with a roast if you know what you’re doing. YUMMMM.

  2. Keep your au jus and horseradish. If you’ve got it, I’ll take a dab of authentic wasabi (if you’re laughing, you haven’t tried it); otherwise, pure sweet juicy meat as God intended.

  3. Thick, home-cooked steak fries. Baked potatoes are all good and well for a regular steak, but for rare prime, big ol’ steak fries are essential; spread 'em out under and around the steak so they soak up the juices.

Dammit, now I’m hungry, and the only thing close enough to hit on my lunch break are Mickey D’s, Subway, and Chick-Fil-A. No steak for me…

33

Mmmmm, thank you! Either that or a classic cheesecake with raspberries, or even a mocha cheesecake. I loves me some cheesecake.

And many thanks, RickJay, for the invitation. I’ll take my prime rib medium rare, au jus, if you please, with a good pungent horseradish (this time, at least, I won’t drench it with A-1 Sauce). I’d also like a side of either garlic mashed potatoes or onion strings, and a big pile o’ either lima or string beans with plenty o’ butter. Then a small caesar salad, if that’s not too much trouble. Either a nice merlot or a Heineken to wash it all down, and an icy glass of water too, please. And the aforementioned cheesecake(s) for dessert.

:: drool ::

Damn, now I’m hungry. Lunchtime!

34

Well done, but not an end cut. Feel free to sear it on the grill . . . :wink:

Loads of butter on top.

A Caesar salad on the side. (Not romaine lettuce with Parmesan Ranch dressing, but an actual Caesar Salad with anchovies pelase!)

Ooh! and a baked potato, crispy on the outside, with plenty of butter and a mild sour cream on the side. (Don’t you hate it when the sour cream gets hot?)

Ginger Ale with a twist of lime. . .

Thanks, man, I needed that!
