My Aunt Bettys recipe for curry and chai.  She was a missionary nurse in Pakistan for 20 years mid 60's to 80's.  We always asked here where the camel meat goes lol.  She passed but was a remarkable woman.

Whats the sauce on top?
 
Tartar?

Its got shrimps in it.
 
There are people that would strangle their next door neighbor for that.
 
 
Maybe I've said too much.

Butter Curry Turkey
Christmas Supper
 
 

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

Realize this standing rib was almost 10lbs and only serving 3. The 3 ribs made it hard to cut into smaller slices and we like ours with the bones.
 
Only seasoned with Himalayan pink "rock" salt, pepper and a little garlic.

 
It came out at exactly 120F and then covered for about 30min. Next time its coming out sooner. End cuts were slight more done than i like. Temps rose to over 135F just resting covered with foil and a towel.

 
Portobello caps sauteed in the drippings/shallots and made into a gravy.

 
Dad won the flip for the center cut.

 
Me and my brother got the ends. He smothered his in the portobellos.

And so it begins again this year. 8.5lb standing rib 3 bone. Wanted a 4 bone but this one looked better and the other big one that looked really good was over $100. Aged for 10 days in the fridge. Rubbed down in avocado oil, fresh cracked Tellicherry black pepper and super coarse pink himmy salt. Serving it simple with baked russets and Asiago cheese garlic bread heavy on the garlic with just a little domestic Sartori Parmesan.
