The visit to Beast and Cleaver was produced and edited by Jesse Nichols
Special thanks to Kevin Smith for letting us shoot in his shop and taking the time to show us his gorgeous meat. Beast and Cleaver is located at 2362 NW 80th St, Seattle, WA 98117. It is an amazing shop that is worth a visit.

Using the chef John tune. Hot damn
After all , you are the king, of what song to sing
@@Savagefred we might not all see that its royalty free!
But thank god not his speech pattern…
I had a brief hope we'd get a crossover cameo.
I was so ready for chef John to pop out. Kenji if you did that the internet would explode
A remote segment. A costume change. Perfectly cooked prime rib. Jamon getting the first taste.
This is Kenji’s magnum opus.
I loved the “Picture in Picture” segment. Throwback to Mr. Rogers! I was waiting for the miniature neighborhood where B & C is located. Great job as always and thanks for always supporting local businesses.
I don't know if Kenji wants to have a miniature Seattle model with street cars in his living room, but it would be kinda cool.
Hahaha! Nice nod to Chef John, another pro, loving teaching.
I heard that little musical cue as Kenji walked out of the butcher shop and I had to smile. Good stuff.
@@chriscapano3406 yeah I always associate that music with Chef John too! I've heard it on other, non-cooking related videos. I think it's in some archive of royalty-free music for video creators to use
@@chongli297 half in the baaaaag
Can one ever tire of looking at a perfectly rosy prime rib? Loved that you included the shots of the visit to the butcher shop too. Thank you and happy holidays, Kenji!
Nope.
I cooked a Prime rib for Christmas and of course there had to be ONE person who complains that it's too "raw".
Kenji that Zelda metaphor was absolutely mint. You know your audience well lmao cheers to you sir 🍻
LOL That's about what I said, hah!!
when ?
@@bladeez 14:50
The impatient dog moan at 23:20 killed me.
Never seen Jamon come up to ask for food like that before. Must've smelled sooo good 😊
The little whimper he gave was precious. "Daaaaaad... can I have some? Pleeeeeease?"
My god that Mr Rogers reference made me grin so big. Now all I need is a full Mr Roger's style episode, full with guests, sweater changes and some singing from Kenji
Could we just take a moment to appreciate that an invitation to a game night at Kenji‘s house must be one of the greatest treats ever? 😊
That was my first thought. There are definitely tiers of fortune, but going to Kenji’s for game night, and oh by the way he cooked a prime rib, is top tier.
I'm a gamer. Dang I'd like to know what games they're playing!
@@jevee00 Not a gamer; however, a Kenji Makes Game Night Snacks and Names Fun Games is definitely something I want. 🫕🎲
My husband watched this from beginning to end (which it never happened). He’s been cooking our prime rib roast every year & he said he always learned something new from Kenji. ♥️♥️♥️U for our home,,,,happy holidays to you & your family🎄🎄🎄
I love the nod to chef John's intro theme!
and the whole introduction as well haha
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
That breville oven rules. Got it for myself as an early xmas present. Its an excellent tool. I never use my oven now
I have one of these and cleaning it is a nightmare!
this is an excellent video. i loved your interview with Kevin Smith. Being able to visualise the cuts while hearing such an expert talk over the different cuts and methods was excellent. thank you!
edit: wow that sweater is amazing
Great video, loads of educational content. Really liked the part at the Butcher, great visuals, very informative - you don't get to see the whole half cow cut up that often.
With that music, for a moment I thought we were going to drop in on Chef John
Oh Kenji, what a fabulous and generous holiday gift to all of us!! My roast is in the fridge, ready for the dry brine procedure and I will follow your directions exactly. Best wishes to you and your family for a joyous holiday season!
My girlfriend and I make your prime. rib recipe every Christmas and talk about looking forward to it all year! Fav meal of the year!
It looks like the roast went straight from the fridge to the 225 degree oven. I base this on seeing the temperature reading with the probe at 39 degrees. Other videos say it's important to let the roast come to room temperature before putting it in the oven. I'd appreciate your feedback regarding this. Thank you!
I don't think it's possible to get tired of watching you cook, Kenji. You present recipes and techniques in such a way that they're accessible to nearly anyone, you don't shame people for using store-bought ingredients, and you love hot sauce.
Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to you and your family!
I love that I can hear your dishwasher gurgling as you work, gives a sense of realism in the kitchen that’s often missing ❤ I feel like a lot of CZcamsrs are super precious about any tiny noise that could possibly be picked up, and actually bring attention to it when they apologize for it 😂
its' cause his kitchen is SUUUPER compact, aka small. its a REAL kitchen, not some studio, to your point.
I follow your prime rib recipe from your Food Lab book every time I make prime rib. I have never been disappointed. Looking forward to making it again for Christmas.
Kenji, this was phenomenal. I loved the Mr. Roger’s style adventure you took us on to the butcher. The Zelda reference was helpful and fun! Keep it up, you are a wonderful human.
I did your reverse sear method 4 yrs ago Thanksgiving and it was awesome. Doing it again tonight (Christmas Eve), anticipating equally incredible outcome. Thanks!
The sound upon opening the oven after the sear is magnificent.
First you are Mr Wizard, now Mr Rogers. Love this!! I've seen all your videos and look forward to every one! Thanks for all you do!!
Thank you, Kenji. You've taken it to another level with your videos.
My grandfather was a butcher. He passed before I really knew him, but my dad was and excellent cook. Dry salt brining was standard. That was 50 years ago and still is the best. Chef John, Zelda tribute is fabulous. Visiting the butcher is the best. Brining mine right now. Yes, I am a cooking nerd. Love your videos and books ❤❤❤
5:03 was lowkey hoping for a Chef John cameo at the sound of the music...
Wow!!
A lot of great tips!!
It's awesome that you've taken the time and effort to have your butcher explain some of the finer points of the various characteristics that is associated with the better cuts.
Your explanation of how the aging process once salted affects the final product.
Great job man and please keep up the great work!!
😎👍
A $269 roast for game night. Kenji lives large.
have you seen the price of beef at costco for the same cut? Even those are running $100-120 for the smallest choice beef roast these days, so for premium beef its not that much more of a jump
It's also a business expense!
@@jlee104 the difference is Costco is BONELESS and doesn't cost what he paid for the roast. Sam's club is the same around 17 a pound for boneless prime. Think he overpaid since the roast looked like choice and not prime
@@davo912he also is helping a local small business, so I don't think he really cares
@@Hyperbolic_G sure paying 10 bucks more a pound. and it's bone in..so you know what he is thinking?
Hi Kenji, great work as always. Love the detail, editing, and story-telling you put into each episode. My brain tripped out a bit when I heard the Food Wishes song though! LOL!!
I love Kevin and Beast and Cleaver! So glad you could get him in this video. So lucky to have him in my neighborhood!
Perfectly done. Best sweater ever in a CZcams video
I once did a prime rib for Christmas dinner where I made a rub of salt, herbs and a Ton of ground saffron. (Our guests were Persian and had given us the saffron.) It was a beautiful, golden roast beast.The meat disappeared pretty quickly and the ribs were definitely gnawed on.
This was awesome! I love doing prime rib for Christmas, and i love your Zelda reference! Fantastic and fun content, as always! Thank you!
I started cooking prime rib this
way about 10 years ago, when I was fourteen. I learned it from the Chowhound website which now has closed down :( so amazing watching you do this recipe.
I usually just add a garlic-butter crust and make a horseradish cream sauce alongside. I love it.
Dang. Forgot about Chowhound site. Good content.
Kenji, I have used your prime rib method many times and the results are always outstanding. Thank you for all your hard work and research involved with developing your recipes.
When you have a $200-300 slab of meat you gotta make sure it gets cooked perfectly.
it would be fabulous if my parents understood this and didn't overcook prime ribs and wagyu steaks when we visit them once a year :( @@qetuR
Thank you for teaching people dry brining. It's crazy how few people understand that such treatment both denatures proteins and improves moisture retention due to the hygroscopic nature of salt.
I so enjoyed this. Growing up in Alberta there was roast every Sunday. Not cooked like that. Now we know better. Thank you Kenji.
I love you interacting with great food purveyors
I love how the dogs are always waiting expectantly for tidbits.
Loved that little squeak of noise from Jamon, you know he was drooling!
Kenji has been on a tear with all this new content on youtube, tiktok and instagram and I am absolutely loving it
🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩
He works for himself but is still grinding for that promotion.
Kenji is such a class act
Thank you! Love this method. Merry Christmas!
This is what we're making tonight - thanks for the video and Merry Christmas!
LOVED picture picture - the intro/outro music was perfect. Felt like Mr Rogers in all the right ways.
As soon you said 'who wanted the bones', I heard the pup in the background volunteering 😂 in my mind. Looks good! Reverse sear is my go to! 😊
Having my own successful recept for bone in prime rib, I'm always open to new ideas.
I've seriously watched hundreds of others video's.
But, non like Yours which was
Very well done. (pardon the pun)
Thankyou for having the thought to put it all together for those you tend to be at loss of what to do.
Merry Christmas & thank you again!
Loved this recipe. We’ve used this to create our own family Christmas tradition of doing this. Great video.
Just picked up my Christmas Prime Rib today. Talk about great timing. And then Kenji throws in a Zelda reference to boot! Can’t beat it.
This is the way. Just made one using your method and it was amazing
I love this style of content. Showing us the shops is great addition to the cooking portion!
Great looking prime rib!!! Happy holidays to you and your family!!
Happy Holidays Kenji. You're my boy.
Awesome video Kenji ! Great job
🥩 🎄
I followed this step by step and it turned out PERFECT
This is how I will do mine, this looks amazing. I never thought of using the convection one but I just happen to have one.
I've roasted/smoked quite a number of prime rib and still, when you cut the first slice, I couldn't help but smile. Lovely looking hunk-O-beef.
Merry Longissimus, Kenji to you and yours!
Kenji, your original reverse seared steak video changed my idea of what a good steak is. My girlfriend said restaurant steak would never be the same after eating a reversed seared grass fed Scotch fillet I cooked her.
I did find however when i purchased Wagyu with a high marble score it was way too beefy tasting for me, it was like an overpowering beef stock flavor.
I always learn and enjoy so much when I watch your videos ❤
Zelda reference and Vader Christmas sweater! Above and beyond the ever rising bar of free and entertaining cooking mentorship. Thanks man
Another Kenji classic where I look at the end result and say aloud "god it looks SO good" ... I really want to try this someday
Looking forward to it. My Mother-in-law requested my prime rib (from your recipe) for the fourth year in a row.
Great video , looks so delicious . we need more Kevin Smith on CZcams !
Just made prime rib using this method as closely as possible. Absolutely spectacular. Mine came out nearly identical to Kenji's visually and was a remarkable treat to eat. Fantastic video.
That dog knows what's up...looks good!
I've been doing reverse sear on my rib roasts for a couple years now. It's the best
GREAT JOB ! Congrats to the chef for your very knowledgeable and detailed presentation of this mouth watering recipe.
The house’s dog is the luckiest one ! 😅
Kenji, merry effing Christmas. You are a treasure.
Crushed it. Ordering that thermometer for sure. Also need to visit that shop next time I’m in Seattle, thanks! If ever it’s worth your time, would love a video on sides you may have served with that prime rib. Hope that was for the Hawks game!
This was great, chef. Hope you visit Beast & Cleaver again. Super informative
Absolutely love the Picture Picture bit. Bravo!
A gem of a human
Everyone else: "Salt and pepper to taste."
Kenji: "Salt and pepper to 'what a flurry of snow looks like on an empty New England parking lot.'" 💛💛
I love that you had your real fridge, with normal things in it, to put the roast in for dry brining.
Thank you very much for the celsius conversion !
Now thats how you make ANY man instsntly happy. Very healthy. Absolutely magnificent
You've got me wondering four days before my family Christmas party if I wanna splurge on a prime rib now, man. The center of that thing looked absolutely absurd.
Awsome video Kenji!
Thank you for a great video and technique. As long as you insert the Combustion Inc. thermometer past the mark (about half way), it can withstand temps up to 575ºF (300ºC). The yellow cap is ceramic.
Just made prime rib in a Breville (lower end model). Same instructions. Turned out just like his. Worked out great.
Great video, I have a prime rib roast dry brining right now. Pretty excited to cook it tomorrow.
That looks extraordinary.
Been doing it like this since your original SE article +10 years ago. 🐮✨✨
Happy holidays!
14:51 really wild timing that I'm watching this on my phone with a Zelda II playthrough playing as background noise on my TV lol
I have a butcher who will take it off of the bone prior to cooking for me, which I appreciate because it's a built-in cooking rack, and it just comes off once I remove the ties! I'm gonna have to try this reverse-sear method this year. :) Thanks for the video!
I've been making reverse sear for years. In fact I have in in the oven right now for last day of '23. I usually take it out at 120 so I lowered my Meater to 115 as your rosey one looks perfect.
Turned out perfect. Thank you
Came for the cooking content, stayed for extruded planes 🤓
And for the Warner Bratzler shear test 🤓
Looks amazing. I was got do reverse sear this year
Great to see the traditional head camera back. Your new camera set up is good but is no where near as immersive or educational as this head cam. Thanks for bringing it back.
Not to take away anything cooking related on this gorgeous piece of meat and my favourite way to cook Prime Rib as well....but these countertop ovens/airfryers especially the good ones like your Breville, I use the Ninja XL.. I find are so much better than my larger standard oven for manageable pieces of meat (my large 20lb+ turkeys for Thanksgiving of course wont' fit), heck a 4 bone prime Rib is a large size and it was a breeze, great job Kenji !!
Wonder Kenji. Can’t wait to make this for my family tomorrow. Unfortunately I’m cooking for a bunch of Italians who like they’re meat cooked a little past medium but it was reassuring when you said medium is still good.
I did this once from the Joy of Cooking, with their recommended horseradish whipped cream... so good!
I love the use of the "foodwishes" music! great way to incorporate a little homage
I can’t believe he’s cooking a huge roast in a little countertop oven 😮
That Vader sweater is chef’s kiss amazing.
Love the holiday sweater. I have a similar one! 😊
Gosh, that looks so good
