6 lbs cooked prime rib roast
1 tablespoon salt

1 1/2 cups da ultimate barbecue sauce
3 large onions

Check out your local restaurant the morning after its Prime Rib Special night. Often the last 2″ to 4″ of the Prime Rib is not served. I got these from Rossario’s Italian Restaurant in Madison, Wisconsin. These pieces are delicious and make a wonderful BBQ Sandwich.

  1. Trim overcooked meat and fat from meat. Grind coarsely.
  2. Chop 2 of the onions, slice thinly the third and set aside. Chop bell pepper.
  3. Put all into a heavy Dutch Oven.
  4. Using medium high heat bring up to a low simmer for 10 minutes. Stir well!
  5. Remove from heat, cover with sliced onion. Garnish liberally with da ultimate barbeque sauce.
  6. Let set for 5-10 minutes and serve a heaping spoonful on each bun.
