Err, a prime rib? It's been a long time since I cooked a prime rib
but I think you may need more than one. You will probably need to go to
a good butcher shop to get what you need,

To accompany: roast potatoes ? Spaggetti squash sounds good.
John Kane, Kingston ON Canada

talk to your butcher and ask when the next sale on PRIME RIB will be, plan
your party around that!
🙂

we serve HUGE baked potatoes, butter, sour cream with chives.
a great salad or roasted asparagus or both.

Standing rib roast which "they say" to figure 1/2 lb per person. Our family
we figure 1 per person, and of course that is pre cooked weight. That will
run you $6-$10 per lb. so it will be and expensive deal. You best have a
good sized oven to cook that much meat.

Shaws/Star Market has of late had better sales on standing rib roasts
and better quality roasts than Hannaford. The 14 pound RR accompanied
by a ham served 14 for Christmas dinner, it was about $85 on sale at
Shaws, at Hannaford they were $11 a pound.

wow....
didnt know the prices were so high......
we live in a small town.....
have a hannaford, and price chopper and a costco 30 mins away......and some
smaller stores nearby that specialize in native beef.....I like native beef,
better flavor but a smaller family spotty quality, and the high cost of
cutting and wraping drove me away unless i know of somebody who is cutting
up a beef......
probably do better with costco....
crusty
and there goes my dinner for the food shelf..........

I am worried that you might be biting off more than you can chew.
Question: You say you have breakfast with this group? I hope you're
not planning this for breakfast--you'll be up all night. Assuming it's
for dinner, you'll be working all day. And that big a roast beef will
require two ovens, at least. And how will you check the temperature.
Why don't you change to ham? That's pretty much no-fail. Good luck to
you.

---------------------
You're making me nervous, Crusty. You don't know what cut of meat
Prime Rib is? It's Prime Rib!! Very expensive. And for 15-24
people!! Huge project

You're making me nervous, Crusty! Prime Rib (expensive!!) for up to 24
people?? The cost at the butcher's would be well over $100. A
regular restaurant would have trouble doing this. It would take a long
time in the oven--do you know how to calculate the time? And the
correct doneness? The huge oven space required? Heavy lifting? The
carving time alone would be substantial. Why don't you make a big pot
of beef stew instead? You could make it ahead and re-heat.

24 is ok but i have a small kitchen...set table up in living room..the oven
and refrigerator could handle it and if needed a big old roaster that hasnt
been used in a decade..... a huge turkey of more than 20 (30?) plus pounds
was cooked in it.....(roaster)
could reduce it to the saturday morning group and then maybe 10-12
people.....
thanks for ur help....appreciate all ur ideas.....
cost may do it in, and after all the ham, pork, chicken, venison, turkey,
hamburg and hot dogs....ready for some real meat.......a perch fry too much
work.......after catching, cleaning, cooking, but they would all love
it....other than the 3 frying pans, using paper plates, plastic flatware,
paper towels, not much cleaning up ....
a large piglet would be fun to cook, with a bunch of hippies....

if i find some cheap meat will have it....and since i live in dairy country
it's possible.......will ask around......maybe a corn fed cow........

I get nervous making prime rib for 6 people- I have a daughter-in
-law that only eats well-done meat. I cannot make prime rib if she is
coming over. 24 people?? WOW.!!!

other than the 3 frying pans, using paper plates, plastic flatware,
-------------------------------------
Paper plates for roast beef? It will be too juicy for that, I think.

First, check with your butcher. You need to buy a Standing Rib Roast aka
Prime Rib. It will be best if you can buy a *prime* grade cut, but *choice*
can also work. It won't be quite as tender.

Most rib sections sold to be cooked as prime rib will provide between 18
and 24 portions, depending on cut size. Depending on the appetites of
the people, you might need more if it's a bunch of guys.

Talk to your friendly neighborhood butcher/meat cutter or go to a nearby
Costco and talk to one of their meat guys.

You cook it at low temperature (between 225° and 275°) like restaurants
do to 125°F center temperature and let it rest for 15 minutes before
carving.

Big-ass baked potatoes go best with PR. Broccoli for color contrast.

If he were to buy actual prime beef standing rib for 24 people he'd
better take out a second mortgage. That'd be one serious butcher's bill.

I did a small one out on the Weber kettle over the weekend. That's some
fine eating.
