Can We Have Prime Rib?

[brendygirl]

Just wanting to know whether we can eat prime rib. Is there something in the juices that make it off-limits? Seems like I had it on my road trip in Omaha, Nebraska, and did not react...but managers at restaurants are telling me no.

Ask them what ingredient it is that they think you can't have. They might use a bullion that is not gluten-free. They might just be concerned that it might have gluten but not know exactly what's in it.

I Googled prime rib ingredients and there are many ways to make it. Some recipes had vinegar, which the manager may think has gluten.

I'd bet there's either wheat in a dry rub or soy sauce in a marinade or au jus dip.

Yep, it is most likely the seasonings they use on the outside! I went on a cruise in December...they had a really nice pork tenderloin that they were carving, so I thought I'd get some...the head chef knew about my situation and had been looking out for me the whole cruise...he came over and said I shouldn't eat it because of the seasonings on the outside. You couldn't tell by looking at it either.

The actual prime rib itself is gluten-free. But the seasonings rubbed onto the outside during cooking may not be. The "au jus" is dangerous. It may have gluten from a number of sources.

I just don't take the chance, even though I used to love prime rib. I now stick to steak, and if the restaurant isn't one that is celiac-savvy, I ask for it completely plain, no seasoning at all added, and please make sure the grill is clean.

Yup...if you make it yoursefl you can do so in a non gluten way. But is restuarant managers say you can't I would stick with that. As a previous poster said it can be made in alot of diffrent ways!
