Agree. You don't want to overcook that beautiful hunk of beef. 

What's everyone making for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day dinner? 

I'm visiting family, with no access to a grill/smoker, so I'm going to have to use the oven tonight to roast a bone-in pork loin. Melting potatoes with shallot crack sauce and peas & carrots. A nice Pinot Noir to go with. 

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Merry Christmas to you all

I’m going to my moms house tonight and mother in laws tomorrow so no cooking for me, but I got a couple cooks planned for next week and my Dads 70th birthday/retirement (Rotisserie prime rib)

merry Christmas to everyone

Has anyone tried the 500 degree oven method for prime rib in their KK?

I agree with others here that the KK won't react like an indoor oven and would likely result in overcooking the roast. I have excellent and consistent results with smoking prime rib in the KK at 200°F until its internal temp is 110° -112°F, pull it, then let the KK run up to 500°F or so and sear all sides (on the sear grate in low position) for about 1 - 1 1/2 (max) minutes each side. The result should be prime rib with an internal temp about 122° - 124°F before resting.

Speaking of cooking in the oven,  did a 5 lb bone-in pork roast for dinner last night. Family said that it was the best they'd ever had! I'll take the compliment anyway I can get it! 😁

The  pork shoulder is done 😁

Traditionel Christmas duck, roasted 4 hours.

Came out really good. I am really enjoying the rotiresseri. Forgot plated pictures. Server with red cabbage, stewed white cabbage, potatoes and gravy.

Thanks @C6Bill the KK works like a charm to control the temperature.  
Btw,  your pork looks good too. What is that marinade with jalapeños? I couldn’t find the introduction to that one.

[C6Bill]

That is a finishing honey glaze. It is dark honey canned with jalapeño then aged for a few months. It’s good 😁

@Cnommensen - only thing about that duck - he's not smiling at me! 😆

That duck looks great. I need to cook one like that instead of always smoking them for gumbo.

Cooked 225f until 110.  Pushed it up to 400f dome, cooked until 127f.  Rested and serviced.  Forgot a pic on the grill, the pic in the glass dish is hanging out on my KJ big joe while I waited for my KK to get to 400f.  I should also add that I dry aged it from about the first week of November.

Nice cook and dry aged, too! I'd eat that!

My eldest daughter tested positive for coronavirus 2 days before Christmas so we were not able to be with extended family as normal. The grocery store happened to have fresh chickens in a pinch. So it was garlic and herb roast chicken for Christmas dinner. Asparagus grilled on the kk. Roasted organic fingerling potatoes in the oven. Worked out well. I didn’t do the best job of spatchcocking the birds. Not all of the breast was on top. Also I did not probe them in quite the right location. Upon checking them with the instant read thermometer they needed more time and threw off my timing for dinner. But it all looked and tasted great. Grill tidings of great joy.

Christmas rib tradition continues. Plus a couple of yard birds for good measure.

She had light symptoms and we have all had it I think.  Since we are all vaccinated, we had no issues.  Only annoying that we can't visit anyone. Thanks for asking !

Glad to hear that everyone is OK. I had a breakthrough case back in October. No symptoms, but having to quarantine for 10 days was not fun!
