Natural Prime Bone-in Rib Roast (3 Bone)

I believe this 3 rib roast was the 4th roast I've purchased from Creekstone. Armed with that experience, I thought I was safe assuming I could feed 6 hungry family members. When my 5.4lb roast arrived, I immediately knew I was in trouble. This roast, by far the smallest of any we had received, and from the small end of the slab, would barely feed four !
So this purchase will serve as an unfortunate future reminder that there's really no substitute for seeing what you're buying....

That said, The quality of the roast was good; tasty and tender! But it will be difficult to overcome the disappointment of this purchase.

This meat reminds us White House Tavern in Aspen. We love the flavor and texture! Rubbed with butter a touch of mustard and fresh herbs, thyme rosemary and a touch of sage. Salt and fresh cracked pepper. Let rest uncovered in overnight. Cold oven. Put roast on sheet pan with a rack. Cover sheet in foil. Set oven to 225. Cook 2 hours bones down. Turn completely over, cook one hour, bones up. Turn again...Temp...Then guess cook another hours? or whatever makes it to 118 degrees in the center. Pull and move to a cooling rack not in a warm pan. lightly tent. Wait 40 minutes. Sear if you like, but we like the pink to the edge. Deeeeelightful! We shaved the rest for beef sandwiches with au jus, just like our favorite place in Aspen. There you have it. (Initially, we cut off the short end that was not square with the other larger end, and ate that as a steak, day one. We ended up with a 3 bone almost 7 lb roast, so after the steak, cooked about a 6lb whole prime. Left the bone on. Did not bone, roll tie. Just tied in 3 places to firm up.)

I found out at the last second one of my items wouldn’t come at all, and the star of Christmas dinner, a rib roast, would arrive on the 24th. Which of course is not enough prep time for a roast. But lo and behold, my order didn’t come at all, and was switched with someone else’s order of sirloin steaks! Not only did this mishap happen, customer service did not respond to any of my emails! I’ve ordered roasts from snake river, dartagnan, and others for Christmas to find the one I like best. Will not try creekstone again! I’ve eaten the product before, and it is quality, but the customer service is awful.

We have been struggling to find prime roast beef that is succulent, tender, and reasonably priced. We thought your prime was the best we'd had in years and are glad we took a chance. We gave away the ham to neighbors who ordered from Omaha Steaks, and their dinner never arrived! We are true converts. Thank you for offering such great quality, service, and following up.

I orded a Prime Bone-in Rib Roast 7-9lb It weighted in at 7 lb. I could have bought a 5-7lb and saved money. Not happy with it
