Ordering prime rib (Eating out)

[bbqjoe]

How do you order your prime rib when eating at a restaurant?
(research for public opinion)

Rare. Is there any other way????
Smoke On!!!!!!

Definitely no more than medium rare & I like a little bark on the outside.

I like just a little pink in the middle so I voted Medium. I know how you voted Joe: slice it off the cow; barely let it touch the pan on each side and put it on the plate.

I like the middle to be warm at least. No A1, just dab each slice in its own au ju.

I cant take that feeling of eating raw meat. Call me a wuss - you da man.

I'll order Med-rare in most places. If it is a place I'm familiar with, and I'm comfortable ordering rare there I'll do that.

If it's at Phil's house I don't care, as long as I get an end piece....

I was told by a chef that anything past medium would make the meat tougher... But I go for rare usually.

Rare

I order medium rare on most beef, except McDonalds.

While I'm a "butcher it and throw it on a plate" kind of guy for steaks, I've found that prime rib has a better flavor at medium rare instead of rare.

I order mine with a rum & coke and cards from a cute Keno girl.

Unless I'm confident of the chef, I'll order medium. Most of the chefs in these parts don't know med-rare (which I perfer) from a wet doughnut. Not sure what that means, but it fits.

Medium rare!

I tell the waiter that I want the inside pink and warm. Then it's up to the waiter to figure out how to write-up the order based on how THEY define rare, medium rare etc. I've thought about carrying this picture in my wallet just in case they need a visual. LOL

Thirdeye, that sounds like a good way to handle it.

I always ask how they define medium rare. Sometimes you just get that blank stare. :shock: At that point I really start to get nervous!

Medium Rare with Horseradish Sauce

 

[Steppenwolf]

OMG, I forgot the horseradish!! So do many of the restaurants . Gotta have it.

Other than Poohbahs P.Rib that I had at the fall bash, which was the best I have ever eaten. I normally order cajun blackened, which I believe they start w/a rare piece. Then apply rub, and into extreemly hot cast iron pan. Its like med. rare and delicious.

 

[scottyd]

ah yes Medium rare and horseradish

 

[Bigmista]

Before Phil, I only had Prime Rib at 3 in the morning in Vegas for $7.99. Went to Lawry's once. Didn't care for it. No flavor and overpirced.

 

[bbqjoe]

Well it pretty much looks like medium rare is the preference.

 

[BBQ_MAFIA]

Medium rare for me.
