Rib Roast For The Clan

[BedouinBob]

We had some of the seasoned citizens from my wife's extended family here this weekend so I decided to do a rib roast. Kept it simple with a little olive oil, dalmatian rub, and some rosemary. I put the rub on and let it get happy in the refrigerator over night. Then in the #2 at 200 with a pan of water and 5 oz of red oak. When the IT got to 135, I pulled it and did a reverse sear for about 15 minutes at 500 deg in the oven. This DivotMaker method works like a champ every time!  The result was a perfectly cooked roast that was tender, juicy, and had just the right amount of smoke. I was half way through my dinner plate before I went "oh yeah, I need the full meal shot". You can see I started with the meat first but it was good with cheesy polenta and grilled asparagus.  ;D

That is some good looking beef.  Nicely done.

The nice thing is that once the main meal is over, you have lots of options for the leftovers. This is what I chose to do.  The beef pot pie was awesome.

Oh YES, Bob!  Bet that was fantastic!  It'd be great if you'd post your pot pie recipe!

The recipe was pretty easy. I used mostly leftovers from the two meals I did over the weekend:
2 C leftover roast beef, cut in chunks
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
Leftover baked potato, cubed, I had wedges I had in the frig
Leftover veggies, I used the leftover asparagus but peas and carrots work
4 c beef broth, reduced by half
1 c red wine
2 tbs tomato paste
1/4 c chopped parsley
1/4 c dried red tomato, chopped
1 lb white mushrooms, sliced
3 pie crusts
3-4 tbs flour

I sautéed the onions a couple of minutes, added the mushrooms and browned them.Add your other veggies and sauté. Remove the veggies. Add the cubed beef and brown the edges. Then I added the flour to make a roux. In goes the tomato paste to take the edge off it. Add the wine to deglaze the pan, add the beef broth and make the gravy. Add the parsley, dried tomato, and salt and pepper to taste. I removed the beef cubed and added them to the veggies and mixed. Use the pie crust for the bottom layer of the pie. Add the veggie/beef mix to it. Add gravy over the top. Put on top crust. Bake at 375 deg for 25 min or till the crust is done. Good eats.
