dutch oven prime rib, anyone done one before?

[TIM]

Any one ever do a prime rib in a dutch oven before?

I am doing a lower salmon raft trip next week and i volunteered to cook a prime rib in a dutch oven. I have cooked, quite a bit with a dutch but never a prime rib. Any secrets or secret recipes?


this is a pic from when i made dinner for 30 earlier this summer.

Lower Salmon should be a good one, The last trip we did with Prime rib, we had a chief braise it in town and flew it in that day to finish it off in the dutch. That was on the Middle Fork of the Salmon, some 10 years back. Since you can't "fly in" the lower I would still try to "braise" it before hand and finish off in the dutch. It seems that it would take a long time to cook from cooler cold raw. I have thought about it, but some time you get to camp late and need to eat within a quicker time (river beers). If you can fake em out with flank steak, I have a rave of a marinade. Good luck and "always look down stream".

How can you cook a prime rib by putting it under the covers right after farting and not sure that it would taste very good.

sturgis

that gives a whole new meaning to "browning" the meat.

EEEWWW, I was thinking about trying the prime rib in the dutch oven until I read this. No matter how good it was, I would still think of this,

Try this one

Prime Rib in Rock Salt

• A 4-bone roast will also fit into a 14-inch deep dutch oven.
• A 12-inch deep oven for a 3-bone roast.
• Salt
• Garlic, fresh garlic cloves or in a powder
• Black Pepper
• Figure 3/4 lb. per person at least.
• Rock Salt 6 to 8 pounds

Directions:
Let the roast come to room temperature before baking. Here is where Colleen cuts the ribs off the meat so she can put the ribs in the bottom of the dutch oven for the rest of the meat to cook on.
Season the roast with freshly ground black pepper, salt and garlic. Make about 1-dozen slits in the surface of the roast and stuff with fresh garlic cloves or just put the slits in. Just set it aside while you are getting all your dutch oven coals ready. About 15 minutes.
Place 1" of rock salt into the bottom of your dutch oven. Put the ribs down on the bottom and them put the rest of the meat on top of that. Pour in more rock salt to cover the prime rib about 1/2" all around the meat. Make sure you have all the meat covered!!! You want the ribs in a little cocoon.

Here is why the meat does not get salty. MOISTURE. Plain and simple. You need moisture to get the salty ness into the meat, that's why the rub flavors get into the meat and not the rest of the salt. The rock salt makes a great moisture barrier, keeping the juices inside the meat. What you end up having is an oven inside your dutch oven. After about 3 hours, remove the remaining coals and lift the lid off the oven. Carefully remove the roast and place it on a cutting board. Discard the salt. Place an aluminum foil tent over it to retain heat. Let the roast rest for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then cut the ribs away if you left them on and slice the roast. You will be greeted with a succulent medium-rare roast that isn't salty. The salt insulates the meat, cooking it evenly, but does not impart a salty flavor as long as you don't add liquid to the pot. In fact, you may find it necessary to sprinkle a little kosher salt over your slice.

DO NOT OPEN Your Dutch Oven for TWO HOURS UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH.

Your meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F for medium done Prime Rib.

Rock salt can be expensive if you buy the ice cream salt. Rock salt used for water softeners is less expensive and works just as well, just make sure you use the crystals not the pellets.
