Paparazzi, Edsa Shangrila Hotel

By | Christmas, Foodie | No Comments

For Christmas lunch, since all the staff were resting from the Christmas preparations, Dad and Mom invited us to lunch and since not all restaurants are open on Christmas Day, the best bet are always the hotels.  So we went to Edsa Shangri-la Hotel. They had a buffet where you can get your antipasto and dessert and you are served your soup and  choice of main dish.  It was very good!

Bryan Flannery USDA Prime 4-Rib Roast Dry Aged

By | Jaric Marketing Inc, Recipes, Steaks | 2 Comments

For Christmas dinner with the family, we normally do potluck!  This year we were assigned to bring the roast beef.  So, of course,  we choose only the best!  This is a new arrival from Bryan Flannery specially for the holidays.

img_4980.JPG

Slow defrost in the refrigerator a day or two before cooking.  An hour or two prior, leave it at room temperature

img_4982.JPG

James called Raffy to ask how to cook this since we never made one!  He did not only tell us how, they actually came over to help us out!!! THANKS GUYS!!!  James was panicking!!

img_4983.JPG

Ingredients

img_4985.JPG

James bought this new gadget, a digital meat thermometer,  to get the temperature of the beef

img_4988.jpg

Raffy patted it dry with paper towel

img_4990.JPG

Special tip:  Have your butcher remove the meat from the bone and then tie back the meat on the bone

img_4992.JPG

Coat with oil – olive oil or canola oil

img_4995.JPG

Spread the oil

img_4997.JPG

Season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper ( Thanks Gaita for the Peugeot grinder )

img_4999.jpg

 Everyone marinating the roast 🙂

img_5005.JPGimg_5009.JPGimg_5011.JPG

Garlic and fresh rosemary

img_5013.JPG

Cut incisions into the roast approximately one inch deep

img_5015.JPG

Insert the garlic and rosemary into the holes- around 5 to 6 cloves all around the roast for a 4 rib ( 9 pound roast)

img_5018.JPGimg_5020.JPGimg_5017.JPGimg_5022.JPG

 Sear all sides of the roast for a few minutes

img_5027.JPG

Then the key is to stick in the thermometer and slow roast at 250 degrees fahrenheit which is approximately 30 minutes per pound.  The objective is to get internal temperature of 130 degrees fahrenheit

img_5032.JPG

After around 4 hours or roasting…the finished product

After touring Belenismo, Tita Isabel and Isa took us out for dinner!!  

img_4904.jpgimg_4907.JPG

They wanted to take us to their favorite ( Nay’s House, Tarlac January 2, 2009) but they were busy for a catering.  So they took us to Coconut Grill. Thank you for hosting our visit to Tarlac!  We enjoyed ourselves and we are deeply honored to be your guests!  We love you!

 Tita Margarita insisted on changing the table to square ( just as good as round ) so we can all see each other 🙂
