One of my best friends in this life is my cousin….and he makes you look like a flaming liberal. We just each agree that the other is a clueless, ignorant moron……and then we get on with our lives. And we agree not to “out” each other on our dive bar tours (depending on which way the regulars lean……usually to the right, so my cousin exercises remarkable restraint on my behalf……). It’s not my problem if guys like you and him believe in fairy tales…….I know that good almost always triumphs in the end! The 2020 election is proof positive!
I use fresh oregano. No comparison to the jarred crap. And jarred garlic is fine. I like the stuff that’s almost puréed. It helps hold the oregano and salt in place. Especially if you choose not to use bacon grease.
You nailed the prep part anyway…… Now sear at 500 degrees for 20 minutes, then lower to 325 till done (to your taste).
1. I've tried garlic and oregano on my prime rib and came to the conclusion that plain kosher salt suited my taste the best; 2. I do not like the taste of bacon on anything beef.
