let marinate for a couple of days. Taste to make sure it's hot
enough for you. Put into freezer containers or freezer bags. Use as
you need,works great in spanish rice,on omelettes, burritoes,etc.

7 Bone Standing Rib

Ingredients
7 bone prime rib
2 to 3 tablespoons peppercorn
1 tablespoon coarse salt
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1 tsp. dried basil

Preparation Have the butcher remove the chine bone, separate the meat
from the ribs and tie back together with string. Pre-heat oven to 450
degrees. In mortar with pestle, crush peppercorn, garlic, salt and
herbs.

Place roast fat side up, bone side down in a shallow baking pan and
insert meat thermometer into center of roast, being careful that
pointed end of thermometer does not touch bone. When meat comes to
room temperature, rub with peppercorn mixture and cook 25 to 30
minutes to sear. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and continue cooking
approximately 14 to 15 minutes per pound or until desired temperature
is reached (less 5 degrees).

When beef is done, place on warm large platter and let stand 10 to 15
minutes for easier carving.

The final temperature for rare will be 130, medium rare 135 and 140
for medium. Remember too, that the placement of the thermometer can
greatly affect the done-ness of the meat vs thermometer temperature
