A Vietnamese Moment

Adapted this recipe from Chef John's Perfect Prime Rib This recipe cooks prime rib PERFECTLY to a medium rare! Mine was a little rare so I might add 1-2 mins to my cooking time in the future to adjust for this. It really is dependent on your oven. Otherwise, this cooking technique is spot on! My beef was a little chewy so make sure you slice your prime rib into thin slices :) Cooking time = exact weight of roast x 5 Round to the nearest whole number Ie 6 lb roast x 5 = 30 mins Ingredients: - prime rib roast (bone-in if possible) - 1/4 cub butter (softened) - 1 teaspoon herbes de provence - 1 tbs freshly ground pepper - kosher salt - garlic cloves (optional) 1.

Combine butter, pepper, and herbes de provence in a bowl. Mix until well blended. 4. Spread mixture over rib roast. Salt ...

My boo LOVES corn potage soup at Curry House so I decided to try my hand at it. Very minimal amount of ingredients and very quick to make! Made the mistake of buying frozen sweet white corn and it came out a little too sweet. Next time will try just regular corn. And also set some corn aside (before you puree it) to give it a little more texture. My imitation of Curry House's Corn Potage Soup Ingredients: - 2 tbs unsalted butter - 1/2 medium onion, diced - 2 tbs flour - 2 cups frozen or fresh corn - 1.5 cup chicken stock - 1.5 cup milk - salt and pepper to taste - green onion for garnish 1.

Slowly add chicken stock and stir while adding to prevent lumps 5. After all the stock as been added, turn heat to medium high and bring to boil 6. Once broth is boiling, add corn and ...
