How to Cook an OP Rib
Cooking an OP Rib, due to its larger size, requires more time and careful preparation compared to a Rib Eye. However, with the right approach, you can create a spectacular meal.
Preparation Tips:
- Seasoning: Start by seasoning your OP Rib generously with salt, pepper, and any preferred herbs and spices.
- Resting: Allow the seasoned rib to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.
Cooking Methods:
- Grill: OP Ribs are perfect for grilling, whether you’re using an oven or a barbeque.
- Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Place the rib on a rack in a roasting pan and cook for 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 180°C (356°F) and continue cooking until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Barbeque: Preheat your grill to high heat. Sear the rib on all sides, then move it to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking, using indirect heat.
Additional Tips:
- Bone Splitting: For a quicker cook and service time, consider splitting the bone. This method is becoming increasingly popular and allows for a more manageable cooking process.
By following these steps, you can ensure your OP Rib is cooked to perfection, providing a delicious and memorable dining experience.
