I just cooked a 10# for an early xmas dinner (wife had her tonsils out today, she wanted her prime rib and Yorkshire pudding early) I rub the sides with Ground Chipotle and use garlic, cracked black pepper, little bit of Comino(Cumin) and a dash of seasoning salt , even my kids love it 400 degrees for the first couple of hours than bring it down to 300 to complete the cooking w/o drying it out -Chris who is probably going to have beanie weenies with the kids on X-mas eve :-( At 06:39 PM 12/21/99 -0800, Firehouse wrote: >I'm cooking a 20lb cut of Prime Rib for X-mas eve, does anyone have any good >recipes or helpful hints without making it spicy??? > >Thanks...........Dave
