Prime Rib

[DeBruzzio]

I plan on never venturing to sioux city. Theres a place north of marshalltown by conrad called that place that serves great prime rib on the weekend.[/quote]


That Place, on Highway 14 at the Conrad corner, little over 10 miles N of Mtown

Probably need reservations on weekends

Anyone else a fan? I have no idea where to get some in the DSM area. Texas Roadhouse does not count

The best prime rib I have had in decades was a meeting with several colonies in SD. They started with actual USDA Prime grade instead of USDA Choice or store brand that is usually sold as prime rib. Seasoned and cooked in oven for 20 hours at 135 degrees. Came out a perefect medium rare and so tender you did not need a knife.

Prime rib and a rib eye are the same thing, just prepared differently. So at home, I've always gone for a similarly seasoned rib eye off the grill.

We should all be able to agree that there's nothing worse than paying top dollar for bad prime rib. Fatty cuts, poorly seasoned, over cooked. Prime rib in the wrong hands is bad news.

Best Prime Ribs I have had...

1. Tournament Club of Iowa's smoked prime rib (The Saturday night prime rib, not Sunday Brunch, because it's actually the same one

2. Johnny's Italian Steakhouse's Spicy prime rib

3. Chicago Speakeasy

4. Skip's/Nick's - It's really the same place, but I like the atmosphere at Skip's a little better

5. Prime Time in Guthrie Center - especially if you like it in bulk

6. Check out specials, alot of local places will have a prime rib special and it's rarely bad!

Those who have said you have to pay big bucks for a big steak, I disagree. Some of the best steaks I have had in Des Moines have been at Iowa Beef Steakhouse and it's half the price of 801. One of the main reasons you go to a place like 801 is the first class service, the wine selections and parings, and the attention to detail.

This is a great list. I especially like Chicago Speakeasy. They still have a good salad bar - which is a bit of a lost art.

I had a very good Cajun Prime Rib at the Greenbrier recently.

Jesse's Embers
3301 Ingersoll Ave
Des Moines, IA

Awesome and a small, family owned place!

No ties to Dahls but i did work in the grocery supply/vendor business for over 30 years. If you think Fareway (owned by hoks) beef is best then keep on buying.

Well I think it is the best and will continue on buying it. It also usually is cheaper, and I think the guys there know the cuts/how to cook them a little more than other stores.

I prefer my ribs from a freshly shot squintey from the back yard.

Most dangerous game? :skeptical:

The Greenbriar Restaurant on Merle Hay Road in Johnston has excellent prime rib.

question for you people who cook on a smoker... when I cook in a oven, I like to cook at 500 degress for 15-20 min.. then slow cook at around 200-225 to internal temp of 125.

question is, could i still "sear" it in the oven at that 500 for 15-20 min then put it in the smoker?? I dont see why i couldnt, just wonder if the sear effect would keep some of the smoke flavor out of the meat!

Thanks!

Also CW Can vouche for this... not Des Moines area, but I would put J Bruner's in Clarinda up against any Prime rib on the Planet!

As far as the pricey steak places go, I tend to stay away from the prime rib at those places! 801, sullivans, mahagoney ruth chris, etc. they now how to cook a steak! but to me there prime rib they just go threw the motions.. nothing better then a roast if you ask me...

I don't know how people eat prime rib. The fat makes me gag.

Agree with this. 801 does have good steaks but you'll find equal steaks elsewhere for half the price. You won't find the wine selection 801 has just about anywhere in Des Moines, is there another place in Des Moines that you can get your filet medallions with $1000 bottle of wine?

 

[isufbcurt]

I like the Open Flame in Gilbert for Prime Rib

 

[mramseyISU]

I can't believe no one has mentioned Chicago Speakeasy yet. Probably one place in Des Moines that doesn't get the publicity but is a hidden gem.

Don't they have a prime rib lunch special on like Mondays? If I remember it's only $7 or $8.

I like me some Fareway meats.

So tired of hearing this. Fareway meat is terrible.

It's hard to find actual prime rib on your own. Most of those cuts are choice Prime Rib which shouldn't even be legal to sell because it isn't a prime cut. The prime cuts mostly go to steakhouses and other restaurants. The best Prime RIb I have ever had was at Ditka's in Chicago. Pricey but awesome.

I always assumed what I was getting at the store was prime.

I've always thought I could probably get a good look at the prime rib by sticking my head up a bull's ***, but I'd rather take the store's word for it.
Now I know better.
