Welcome back!  Today, we have a delicious holiday roast! This is another prime rib roast , but this time, we cooked it in a different way - using a technique called reverse-searing. In contrast to traditional searing, this method has the meat cooking at a lower temperature for a long time before finishing with a sear so that the meat has evenly cooked across the whole cut, kinda like sous vide . It makes for a very tender and delicious dish that is a perfect centerpiece for a holiday feast! Reverse Seared Prime Rib Roast Ingredients: 1 standing rib roast (note the weight, it varies and significantly impacts the cooking time) 1 tablespoon salt 2 tablespoons oil 1 tablespoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary and thyme, chopped (optional) For the gravy: 1/4 cup drippings 2 tablespoons flour 2 cups broth Some pepper Directions: Pat the ribs dry.

Pumpkin Butter Bread Pudding Makes 8 ramekins Ingredients: 8 slices bread, cubed into about 1" cubes 6 eggs 2 cups milk 1/2 cup heavy cream (or more milk if you want) 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup spiced pumpkin butter (just add 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice if your pumpkin butter is not spiced) Chopped pecans Turbinado sugar Directions: Crack the eggs in a bowl and beat them evenly.
