A perfect slice of Prime Rib is moist, tender and juicy (of course)

  • 1 (7-pound) 1 (7-pound) first-cut beef standing rib roast* (3 bones), meat removed from bones, bones reserved
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • Look for a roast with an untrimmed fat cap (ideally 1/2-inch thick). We prefer the flavor and texture of prime-grade beef, but choice grade will work as well.

We love pork and beans, especially with hot dogs, hamburgers or really any kind of barbeque

  • 2 pounds dried pinto or navy beans (I recommend navy beans)
  • 1 large onion (about 1-pound), peeled, halved and sliced
  • 4 canned plum tomatoes, seeded and crushed (I used fresh roma tomatoes, sliced in half)
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 12 whole cloves (I recommend reducing to 8, as the cloves almost overpowered the flavor)
  • 1/2 cup dark-brown sugar, packed (increase to 3/4 if you like sweeter beans)
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 cup unsulphured molasses
  • 12 ounces salt pork, sliced
