I'm guessing that the recipe isn't listed on the American Heart Association web site.

Never tried it.

I guess if people enjoy deep fried oreos, though, prime rib would be a suitable replacement.

click this for a big ass hunk o deep fried prime rib - recipe, that is

edit: no, I'm not an idiot - threads were merged and Perlow's post was NOT there when I replied

There is a restaurant in Mexico City (Arroyo, I think) where they do legs of lamb in agave leaves in big pits and have these huge vats of fat. They fry up huge pieces of pork skins (chicharones sp?) and... PORK ROASTS! They are great! Like all good frying, not greasy at all. Think a well fried turkey. I don't see why prime rib wouldn't be fabulous.

Prime rib needs a good seared crust. The inside should be very rare.

Here's what I do: Preheat the oven to 550 F for an hour. Rub the prime with EVOO and lard it with red wine soaked garlic cloves and lardons. Much salt and pepper. Bung in screaming oven, about seven minutes. Turn off oven, leave guy in there about five to seven minutes per rib (less per more and taking into account often three to five roasts). Perfect.

Peanut oil? A deep fryer? Mebbe. But I cannot foresee this thing happening to me.*

I'm sorry, how could any one do this to a perfectly good prime rib :blink:

Practice. Do it over. Get it right.

Mostly, I want people to be as happy eating my food as I am cooking it.

Well, they were all the same recipe, just posted on a couple of different sites.

Sounds like the kind of thing Leonard's of Great Neck would do (sans marinating in spices) when they miscalculated on a bar mitzvah.

But dare I say, it doesn't sound that much stranger to me than Deep Fried Turkey? And lord knows, you'd get one hell of a crust. Not that I'm about to try it. But . . .

Being a veteran of that fried pork roast, I am dying to try it.

Hopefully... never. FRY EVERYTHING! FRY IN LARD!

Did you know that the fried turkey actually originated with the Gulf Coast Indians? They fried turkeys, ducks, geese, etc. in bear fat.

How much is a lot? You can buy 5-gallon jugs at many camping stores for use in outdoor deep fryers (Dick's and places like that, I might have seen something similar at Wal-Mart, but I can't remember).

Ditto the sporting goods stores that sell the deep fryers for turkeys. But I would check with Wal-Mart, Sam's etc. as they might get it in as a seasonal thing. We buy these 5 gallon "jugs in a box" kind of like cheap wine. (Been known to buy that, too. In sangria, who can tell. :raz: )

edit to add: Don't assume that you have to throw it out. We have saved well browned peanut oil from one year's turkey frying marathon to the next year's. It was delicious. It was well strained, put back into the original jug and kept in the house (cool) in a dark cupboard.

I do hope you have read the safety issues with doing large quantities of oil and big chunks of meat. I can't find it now, but I will see if I can find the turkey frying thread from last year where I addressed the safety issues. As usual, the eGullet community offered additional valuable advice.

After reading that other thread I really want to fry a Turkey this thanksgiving. I may try deep frying a brisket or a loin too while I am at it and while the oil is hot and all.

One of the nice things about going to Thanksgiving at my parents place is that they basically write a blank check for any ingredients/equipment as long as they don't have to do the cooking ;).

There is a restaurant in Mexico City, Arroya I think, that has these vats of lard where they do the chicharones. They also deep fry pork roasts. It is WONDERFUL. The next time we fry turkeys, I am going to do a pork roast, but I will do a chunk of shoulder.

Now I am really curious about brisket. Brisket usually needs a long slow cook to convert all of the connective tissue to gelatin to make it tender. I am not so sure about deep frying it. But I could be wrong.
