Take equal parts fresh garlic (minced), ground black pepper, ground rock salt, thyme (fresh is best but dried, rehydrated with a little water is Ok), add some melted beef dripping (or a drop of olive oil) enough to make a 'paste', cover the beef in ther mixture, wrap in foil (or put in self basting oven roaster). Cook on high (200 C) for 45 minutes, remove foil or roaster lid then for rest of time on 150 C until cooked as well as you like. tasty but not over spicy, enjoy Keef ----- Original Message ----- From: Firehouse <firehouse@kissalive.com> To: chile-heads <Chile-Heads@globalgarden.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 1999 2:39 AM Subject: [CH] Non-Chile: Prime Rib! > 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 > >
