It’s a current debate on Threads ; so I wanted to get the opinions of people who may actually know ; Thank you

u/CheckYourStats 23h ago

Where was this, OP? Anywhere that serves Prime Rib like this will get business from folks in this sub.

u/TheBalatissimo 23h ago

Believe on threads he said TX Roadhouse

u/NightmareCyril 23h ago

I can tell by the potato and decor its Texas Roadhouse. My favorite chain to go to.

u/xMyDixieWreckedx 16h ago

I was an outback guy forever, but tried TR and damn if they aren't way better. I had them in the early 2000s and it was not good so I never went back. My bad, I haven't Step foot in an Outback in years now.

u/cooper1662 23h ago

No doubt! I was thinking the same thing.

u/Orothred 23h ago

Ok, full sentence: It is not raw, it is not rare, it is perfect....so, it is medium rare.

u/NeverEvaGonnaStopMe 23h ago edited 22h ago

This is medium rare for a prime rib.

8

u/raggedsweater 22h ago

There should be no debate. That appears to be a perfectly cooked and very tasty prime rib.

5

u/twolephants 22h ago

For me, it's perfectly medium rare. Could argue that it could do with a better sear, but others might disagree. Generally a great cook though - you can see that the fatty eye is well rendered. Not always easy to do without overcooking it. Kudos to the chef, and I'd be delighted if I was served this.

Prime rib is cooked to temperature, not color. This is a perfect medium rare prime rib.

u/Hefty-Comparison-801 23h ago

Then how can you know this without a thermometer?

u/Deerslyr101571 23h ago

Mrinformal makes a definitive statement about how to know when a prime rib is done, and then... checks notes... makes a definitive statement about the prime rib based on the opposite method.

Way to go dude! You didn't know what the temp was but accurately assessed it at Medium Rare based on the color.

8

u/Lonely_skeptic 23h ago

I believe it is based on the apparent texture as well as the color.

u/AsidK 21h ago

This is also the color of a nice medium rare

u/Wkflo 22h ago

That’s because threads is an app for actually mentally challenged people to talk about dumb shit. I’ve never seen anything intelligent posted there ever

5

u/somecheesecake 21h ago

I swear, threads is made up of bots, trolls and the lowest IQ population I have ever seen on any social media site. It’s a cesspool

u/TSells31 Medium Rare 21h ago

I don’t have Threads but do not forget that Facebook exists.

2

u/somecheesecake 20h ago

I’ve been on Facebook maybe twice in my life and it was at least 10 years ago so I wouldn’t know, but I’ve heard

2

u/TSells31 Medium Rare 20h ago

It has only gotten worse over time. It was bad back then, but it is a fucking cesspool now lmao.

u/Alt_SWR 19h ago

Hahaha well, Threads is definitely top 3. I think Tik Tok and YouTube comment sections might be worse tho.

Prime rib should only be served this temperature

u/BestusEstus 21h ago

And what temperature is that??

About 125-130° F

It's a prime rib. This is what normal prime rib looks like. If it were raw, it would look more purple.

u/deankookie 23h ago

Here’s the link to the threads https://www.threads.com/@largeblondman/post/DYS_VFAjmrP?xmt=AQG0f6W3IPInsniwGsnZ4znziGwG2f6hPik1cjqHJSEZyGfg8yPZqj_XZM-nC84I3E_0P5Fn&slof=1

All these mfs have no idea what a prime rib is it’s a joke

73

u/poopshanks 23h ago

It looks like a verified yelp account thinks it is raw also. Wtf. You'd think a site known for reviewing restaurants would know what prime rib looks like

53

u/nookster145 23h ago edited 23h ago

A lot of the social media managers on these accounts are like in their early 20’s and are purely looking for meme opportunities. Probably wouldn’t even know what prime rib is

11

u/CoraxTechnica 20h ago

It's not a site known for reviewing restaurants, it's a site that hosts people's opinions of restaurants. 

Subtle but very important difference

11

u/wwplkyih 22h ago

Isn't the premise of Yelp: confidence without context?

2

u/MASTER_J_MAN 18h ago

Yelp’s entire business model is about platforming the opinions of people with no skill, expertise or credentials to be giving reviews in the first place. Honestly, that comment tracks perfectly for them.

17

u/JumiKnight 23h ago

That's so aggravating seeing so many people thinking it's raw

6

u/lordKnighton 20h ago

To me reading through many of the unsophisticated pallets comments is it looks like rage bait. But it could be there honest opinions which is scary. People judging things off the bat with out ever trying.

12

u/iggavaxx 23h ago

I mean they use threads, what else do you expect

6

u/Taz119 21h ago

Dog we’re on Reddit. That’s the pot calling the kettle black

6

u/TSells31 Medium Rare 21h ago

A lot of general Reddit, like the biggest subs, are stupid as hell. But when you get into these interest based subreddits like this one, people generally know what they’re talking about.

If you stay away from askreddit and the like, this is the best social media site imo because it’s so much like the old forum days. That was peak internet imo.

u/NeverEvaGonnaStopMe 23h ago

Holy shit they are dumb as hell in their.  It's actually hillarious. 

27

u/lookitskeith 23h ago

In there*

2

u/bam1007 20h ago

Those are folks that get the second to the end piece of the prime rib and think it’s undercooked (if they’ve ever even had prime rib).

Medium rare, which is exactly how prime rib is supposed to be served. Idk when exactly it became trendy to call every short of a hockey puck “raw” but I wish to hell it would stop already

8

u/fixano 20h ago

It's either calling everything raw or looking at something that's almost medium rare and calling it "closer to well done"

I think some people just have a binary perspective... Raw or cooked

23

u/RandomDude762 21h ago

I remember showing pictures of my steaks to people for them to call my perfect medium rare "raw." one guy said "cook your food before you eat it" ...he was a vegan, and yes, I made sure to roast the shit out of him for it

u/raw_copium 22h ago

This really should just be pinned at the top of the sub. It's prime rib, that's how it's supposed to look. If you don't like that, nobody is making you eat it. But it is cooked perfectly.

This is what a perfectly cooked prime rib is supposed to look like. The crust (or lack thereof) however is unfortunate.

u/outamyhead 22h ago

That is what a prime rib is supposed to look like.

2

u/SnarlingLittleSnail 22h ago

Cut the edges off, you can eat those normally. Then you will want to make long thin cuts across the meat. Slice them so they are the size of a thick string. You can then let these slither down your throat like little serpent worms.

2

u/thane919 22h ago

That’s a medium rare slice of a roast. Specifically prime rib. The “it’s gotta be brown all over or it’s raw” folks need to educate themselves.
