In the Kitchen With Mattie

What a nice dinner we had tonight! It really did come out as close to perfect as you can get. Hubby really enjoyed it and son is still eating, he says he is savoring his mama’s cooking! Our favorite local market had whole rib roasts on sale and after we tried the first one we purchased we went back and bought another. We have gotten several meals out of both of these roasts and they were some of the best tasting ones we had ever had and by buying the whole roast in a single piece the price was great too, under five dollars a pound.

Tonights roast was seasoned with sea salt, fresh ground pepper, hickory seasoning and ground garlic. I cooked it in the oven at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes and it was just this side of medium, we don’t like rare meat so it was pretty perfect for us. I let it rest for 10 minutes when it came out of the oven and when cut it was so juicy and tender. Hubby ate 4 slices, Matt ate 3 and I had 1, we also had baked potatoes, fresh corn on the cob and some deviled eggs that the guys requested. It was a simple to put together meal and we are all stuffed. The seasoning on it was perfect and really highlighted the great taste of this beef. Normally when I see these roasts on a great sale like the last one I try to buy some, hubby always says…….next week or next month or something similar and I end up not getting any. Tonight during dinner he said “next time you see these on sale we are getting a few of these” that in itself tells me he really enjoyed these roasts, add to that the fact that most of the meals we are having from these roasts  and thick cut steaks have come in under $10 for the two or three of us and the price is less than it would cost us for a Mickey D’s meal. We still have one more large roast and four thick cut steaks in the freezer, this was a great buy and I sure am watching the papers for the next sale on them.
