Prime Time Prime Rib at Fleming’s

By Susie Timm, Head Cheese

If you are a lovely lady, not into football, perhaps you and some girl friends might want to head to Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse on Super Bowl Sunday to indulge in a game of meat consumption.

Fleming’s is offering some counter programming on Super Bowl Sunday w/ a 3 course Prime Rib Dinner for only $29.95 and a fab Happy Hour all night long.

I decided to chat with Fleming’s Corporate Executive Chef Russell Skall and get the low down on perfect prime rib. I of course, will be watching the Packers beat the tar out of the Steelers but I highly encourage meat consumption by others.

Girl: What is the perfect temp that prime rib should be served at?

Fleming’s: Cook to 125°-130° pull out of oven and allow to rest for 20- minutes.  The meat should come up to 130°-135° Medium Rare

Girl: Do you use a rub on the outside? What is it made of?

Fleming’s: Yes I like to rub a mixture of course black pepper, kosher salt, granulated onion, thyme, paprika, dry chopped parsley, garlic powder and brown sugar.

Girl: Horseradish or no horseradish, that is the question….

Fleming’s: Of course prime rib is best eaten with a side of either a creamy horseradish sauce or simply fresh grated horseradish.

Girl: Do you secretly cringe when someone orders a piece of prime rib “well done?”

Fleming’s: Not really, the best part of the eating prime rib is the very flavorful crust we put on the outside  of the meat.  I like my prime rib medium rare but I can also enjoy a medium well end cut.
Girl: What’s the best side dish to serve with prime rib?

Fleming’s: I like blue cheese flavored mashed potatoes.
