    Salt and pepper to taste
    1/2 cup milk
    1 egg, lightly beaten
    Oil for pan frying (1/4 to 1/2 inch)

    Gravy:
    1 cup milk
    2 tablespoons flour

    Mix the milk and the lightly beaten egg. Dip the meat first in the seasoned
    flour, then the egg mixture and finally back into the flour. Add to the hot oil
    and cook until brown. Turn and brown the other
    side. Drain on paper towel. Drain off all the oil except 3 tablespoons. Whisk

    PRIME RIB

    1 beef rib roast, small end, approx. 5-1/2 pounds
    Salt and pepper to taste
    3 garlic cloves, peeled
    2 medium onions
    potatoes (enough to fit your pan)

    Have the butcher cut the roast off the bone and retie it. Put three garlic
    cloves in to the meat at regular intervals. To do this, insert a paring knife 1
    or 2 inches into the meat, twist, and push garlic cloves in resulting
    hole.Salt and pepper heavily all over roast, and press it in. I use approximately 1/4
    cup salt, 2 teaspoons pepper. It sounds like you're overdoing it, but it turns
    out great. One caution though: don't double the salt if you get a roast twice
    as heavy. I did this one Christmas, and although my family still loved it and
    ate it all, it was too salty.Put roast into a large roasting pan. Stick in a
    meat thermometer. Bake at 325 degrees for 2-1/4 to 3-1/4 hours, or until 160
    degrees on meat thermometer for medium. If you're using a larger roast, allow
    approximately 25 minutes of baking per pound of meat. After the meat has
    roasted for 1-1/2 hours, add 2 quartered, medium onionsand sliced, halved baking
    potatoes (optional). If there are no juices in the pan at that time, add 2 big
    tablespoons Crisco shortening.
