So I noticed that my local supermarket had Choice rib roasts, so I picked one up and tried the Herb Crusted recipe from the cooking topics page. It was about 3.5 lbs. Used standard method, foil in the pan, four medium-small alder chunks. Used the Guru to hold the cooker at 350*. Cooked the meat to 110* (about 1-3/4 hours), rested for 30 minutes.
DELICIOUS! Although I think I'll use kosher salt instead of the Lawry's next time -- whatever they put in that stuff got in the way of the fresh herbs somewhat. I also chopped the herbs the old fashioned way -- needless to say, afterwards the Wife asked me whay I hadn't used the food processer. She had a point, since it would have made for a smoother paste (and would've taken me a fraction of the time).
Bottom line, thanks again Chris, for posting a winner. I'll definitely be doing this one again.
