Perfect Prime Rib

-
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. Place rib roast on a plate and bring to room temperature for about 6 hours. Leave butter out as well (usually about 1-2 hours before cooking is fine).
2. Preheat oven to 500 degrees
3. Combine butter, pepper, and herbes de provence in a bowl. Mix until well blended.
4. Spread mixture over rib roast. Salt generously as well (all 3 sides). Can cut into roast and wedge garlic cloves as well (optional).
5. Bake according to weight. Add an additional 1 minute to your calculation (to account for heat loss when opening oven).
6. Turn the oven off. Leave roast in oven with door closed (important!) and don't open. Let roast sit for 2 hours.
7. Remove roast from oven, slice and serve.

      Corn Potage Soup (a la Curry House!)

      -
      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. Heat butter over medium heat. 2. When butter has melted, add diced onion. Cook until unions are translucent and then turn heat to low. 3. Add flour and stir to mix - will look a like paste 4. 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 ...

      How to parboil bones for a clean broth

      -
      This technique is a solid foundation for getting a clean, soup broth for any pork or beef bone-based broth. 1. In a large bowl, add raw bones and fill with cold water. Add salt and vinegar to clean and lightly scrub. 2. Rinse 1 additional time with cold water. 3. In a large stock pot, boil water. Add bones to the broth. Boil for about 2-3 minuets to remove the impurities. 4. Dump the bones and water into a clean sink and rinse the bones with cold water to remove any residue. Best to also lightly rub off the residue with your hands.

      I've been making an effort to blog more recipes... hopefully over the next few months, I get all the recipes I want from my mom. I haven't had much practice in making these dishes on my own though because I don't like to eat my own cooking (weird, I know). My next step is perfecting these dishes... hopefully I can make my boyfriend or dad eat whatever the heck it is I make. Anyway, this dish is present at many Chinese restaurants. It's super easy and quick to make... seriously, this is done in 10 minutes! The only thing is - I don't think I translated the name into English correctly... will update when I find out what the English name is! Ingredients: 1 large bag of snow pea shoots (the market I went to didn't have snow pea shoots so I bought pea sprouts instead... tasted exactly the same! I think they are the same...) Bot nem ga (chicken broth) 9 cloves of garlic Fish Sauce (optional) Oyster Sauce 1. In a large skillet, heat cooking oil on low/mediu...
