I have gotten hundreds of messages asking about cooking a rib roast, so here we go, if you read anything today, let it be this post: Recipe Continues Below
*This applies both bone-in and boneless
1/7
Salt - Make sure you liberally salt your meat early, at least 2 hours but ideally 24-36 hours before cooking. The salt not only seasons the inside of the meat, it also breaks down the protein strands and thus tenderizes the meat as the salt goes in and out of the cells. 2/7
Low and Slow - Start your meat at a very low temperature (250F) and cook until the inner temp registers 110F for medium rare. The long low temp allows for an even cook and a meltingly tender roast. 3/7
Reverse Sear - To get that beautifully browned crackling crust, it’s best to blast the oven and “sear” the roast at the END of cooking. This creates a much quicker sear, thereby reducing the evaporation loss that comes with a longer initial cold sear. 4/7
Temp - Use an instant-read thermometer and pull your meat at about 120/125 for Medium Rare - 130/135 for Medium. Remember there will be carry-over cooking so don’t pull at the temp you want to eat the meat at, pull 5-7F early. 5/7
Resting - You MUST allow your roast to rest for at least 15 minutes so the juices and distribute and settle into the meat, otherwise you will slice it and lose all of that hard work. 6/7
Sauce - With a properly cooked roast, there will be minimal pan juice as it’s all in the meat now. So instead, use cheap beef scraps from the butcher to make a sauce by roasting the scraps, then simmering with garlic, onions, celery, carrots, fresh herbs and spices, wine. 7/7

For years we were told trans fats saved lives. After WW2 there was a shortage of butter and along came this wonder food product. Proctor & Gamble bought the patent rights and "margarine" became a household name. 1/7
Doctors who questioned the health of this product were blacklisted (see Fred Kummerow) - no one was allowed to push back. Large food corporations were developing more and more patents to push crop production with this in mind. By the 1980's almost all of our food products 2/7
contained transfats in some form. This is when Heart Disease skyrocketed. An estimate from 1994 indicated that the consumption of trans fat was likely to cause 30,000 deaths each year in the United States alone. 3/7
For those saying there is no natural gas ban: NY, CA, WA, and MA all have natural gas bans in place and programs to phase out gas use (entirely) over the next decade. The Biden Admin is working through EPA to strengthen this mandate on a federal level, although it’s not easy. 1/4
Putting aside the environmental hypocrisy (as we will just burn gas and coal to create the electricity), we aren’t there yet with acceptable substitutes. Admittedly, there are many advancements with induction that are very impressive from a culinary perspective, however, even 2/4
the creators of these products would admit, they aren’t there yet. And from a wholesale culinary point of view, electric/induction can’t handle the heat. So why push now? The grid isn’t ready, the products are lackluster AND the cost is prohibitive (at least 20k to switch) 3/4
This oil spill is not going away anytime soon - it’s devastated the spiny lobster fishery that just opened. Thanks @latimes for including my perspective here - How California oil spill hurts fishermen and foodways latimes.com/food/story/202…
It is inevitable people are going to be hurting going into Thanksgiving, especially with the lockdowns and jobs being lost. On Thanksgiving morning I am going to be giving away our Twitter-Famous Breakfast Sandwiches and Burritos to anyone who needs/wants one. FREE.
