Onion Crusted Beef Prime Rib Roast Recipes

ROAST PRIME RIB OF BEEF WITH HORSERADISH CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lay the beef in a large roasting pan with the bone side down. (The ribs act as a natural roasting rack.) In a small bowl mash together the garlic, horseradish, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make a paste. Massage the paste generously over the entire roast. Put the pan in the oven and roast the beef until the internal temperature of the meat registers 125 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (medium-rare), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the beef to a carving board and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.
• Pour off some of the pan drippings and place pan on stovetop over medium-high heat.
• Add the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping the bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce the wine by half. Whisk in the flour, then add the broth and continue to cook, whisking until sauce thickens into a gravy, about 10 minutes.
• Serve with Scalloped Potato Gratin and Roasted Red Onions.
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 sprig fresh thyme
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Butter
• 2 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for broiling
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a saucepan, heat up the cream with a sprig of thyme, chopped garlic and nutmeg.
• While cream is heating up, butter a flameproof casserole dish. Place a layer of potato in an overlapping pattern and season with salt and pepper. Remove cream from heat, then pour a little over the potatoes. Top with some grated Parmesan. Make 2 more layers. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Sprinkle some more Parmesan and broil until cheese browns, about 5 minutes.
• Yield: 4 to 6 servings
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 bunch fresh thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 red onions, halved
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter, vinegar, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute to reduce slightly. Place the onions, cut sides up, in a single layer on a baking pan. Drizzle the butter-vinegar mixture over and roast until soft and slightly caramelized, about 45 minutes.
• Yield: 6 servings

HERB AND GARLIC CRUSTED BEEF RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. For easy cleanup, line shallow roasting pan with foil. Place beef, fat side up, in pan. In small bowl, mix basil, thyme, salt, garlic powder and pepper; sprinkle and press onto all surfaces of roast. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of beef and does not rest in fat or touch bone. (Do not add water to pan.)
• For medium-rare, roast uncovered 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 135°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F, and beef will be easier to carve.) Cover beef loosely with foil; let stand 15 to 20 minutes until thermometer reads 145°F. For medium, roast 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes or until thermometer reads 150°F. Cover beef loosely with foil; let stand 15 to 20 minutes or until thermometer reads 160°F.
• Remove beef from pan onto carving board; carve beef. Serve with pan drippings if desired.

ONION-CRUSTED BEEF PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Place beef, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle all sides and underneath beef generously with garlic powder, dried onion, salt and pepper. Let beef stand at room temperature at least 20 minutes before roasting.
• Heat oven to 450°F. Roast beef uncovered 15 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325°F; continue to roast 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted into center of beef reads 135°F (for medium). Temperature will rise about 5°F to 10°F after removing from oven; keep this in mind when considering cooking time and desired level of doneness.
• Let beef stand 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.

MUSTARD-SEED-CRUSTED PRIME RIB ROAST WITH ROASTED BALSAMIC ONIONS

Steps:

• Using electric mixer, beat crème fraîche and cream in medium bowl to firm peaks. Fold in horseradish and 1/3 cup mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled. Rewhisk before serving.
• Preheat oven to 450°f. Toss onions, shallots, vinegar, oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt in large bowl. Sprinkle roast lightly with coarse salt and generously with pepper. Stir 2/3 cup mustard and garlic in small bowl; rub over roast. Place roast, bone side down, in roasting pan. Sprinkle mustard seeds over, pressing to adhere. Roast 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
• Arrange onion mixture around roast. Return to oven; roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into center registers 120°F, stirring onion mixture occasionally, about 2 1/4 hours for medium-rare.
• Transfer roast to work surface. Tent with foil; let rest 30 minutes. If necessary, increase oven temperature to 450°F and return onion mixture to roasting pan and roast until deep brown and very tender, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer onion mixture to medium bowl.
• Place roasting pan over 2 burners on medium-high heat. Add brandy; stir 30 seconds. Whisk in broth and remaining 1 teaspoon mustard; boil until reduced to 1 1/4 cups jus, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Season jus with salt and pepper.
• Slice roast; arrange on platter. Spoon onions around roast. Sprinkle parsley over. Pass dijon crème fraîche and jus alongside.
• What to drink:
• The king of roasts meets its match in the king of wines. Dijon mustard's pleasant sharpness softens Cabernet's big tannins. With the roast, try the ROBERT MONDAVI 2006 CABERNET SAUVIGNON OAKVILLE (California, $45). The wine's spice and blackberry flavors are perfect with the beef.

HERB-CRUSTED BEEF RIB ROAST WITH POTATOES, CARROTS, AND PINOT NOIR JUS

Steps:

• For roast beef:
• Pat roast dry and put, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan.
• Coarsely crush peppercorns in a mortar and pestle or folded kitchen towel (not terry cloth) with a meat pounder or bottom of a heavy skillet. Stir together peppercorns, 3 tablespoons kosher salt, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl.
• Rub roast all over with oil, then coat it all over with peppercorn mixture, pressing to help it adhere. Let coated roast stand at room temperature 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in lower third. Roast beef roast 20 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat (do not touch bone) registers 110°F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Transfer to a platter (keep fat and pan juices in roasting pan) and let stand, uncovered, 40 minutes (temperature of meat will rise to about 130°F for medium-rare).
• While roast stands, put second oven rack in upper-third position and increase oven temperature to 450°F. Line 1 sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Strain pan juices from roasting pan through a sieve into a glass measuring cup (reserve roasting pan). Drain potatoes well and toss in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons melted beef fat from roasting pan and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, then spread out on parchment-lined sheet pan. Toss carrots in same bowl with another 3 tablespoons beef fat from pan and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, then spread out on other rimmed sheet pan. Roast vegetables in upper and lower thirds of oven, stirring occasionally and switching position of pans halfway through roasting, until golden, 25 to 30 minutes for carrots and 30 to 35 minutes for potatoes.
• Make jus while vegetables roast:
• Skim off and discard any remaining fat from pan juices. Set pan over 2 burners. Add 1 cup of wine and deglaze pan by boiling it over high heat, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Pour into pan juices in cup.
• Cook shallot in 1 tablespoon butter with remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Add wine mixture in cup, along with remaining wine in bottle, and boil over high heat until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 10 minutes.
• Add broth and continue to boil over high heat until mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Strain mixture through a sieve into another saucepan and whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter (cut into pieces) until incorporated. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
• To carve roast, slide a carving knife along inside of ribs to separate meat from bones, then cut ribs into individual bones. Slice meat and serve with vegetables and jus.

BEST NO-FAIL PRIME RIB (GARLIC HERB CRUST)

Steps:

• Remove the prime rib from the fridge 2-3 hours before cooking, and allow it to come to room temperature.
• Preheat your oven to 450F/230C. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic, salt, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
• After the prime rib has come to room temperature, pat it down with paper towels to make sure it's dry. Then rub the entire outside of the prime rib with the herb butter mixture.
• Place the prime rib in an oven-safe pan or roasting tray with the bones-side down, fat-side up. Place the onion slices in the pan around the meat, if you're making the red wine au jus. If not, you can omit the onions.
• Cook the prime rib in the center of the oven for 20 minutes at 450F. It should get a nice sear on the outside. If not, cook it a few minutes longer. Then reduce the temperature of the oven to 325F and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 120F (about an hour and a half), for medium-rare. But go by temperature, not time, as it will depend on the size of your prime rib and your oven.
• Remove the prime rib from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. You can tent it with aluminum foil to keep it warm. Then, remove the string and bones, and slice it up into thick 1/2" slices.
• After you've removed the fat from the pan, add up to 1/4 cup of drippings back in along with the beef broth and red wine. If you have leftover herbs, you can toss those in as well.
• Simmer this for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half. It's meant to be a thin sauce, but if you'd like to add a little bit of a thickener, you can do that as well. Strain the au jus to remove the onion and any browned bits, then drizzle over the prime rib.

HERB-CRUSTED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Combine onion, 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon garlic, vegetable oil, beef base, fresh rosemary, 1/4 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon ground rosemary, and black pepper together in an electric blender. Blend on low speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Blend on high speed until completely emulsified and mixture takes on a slightly lighter color, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour into a storage container and refrigerate until set, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Combine kosher salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix completely.
• Blot excess moisture from the meat and place onto a sheet pan. Season entire prime rib with about 1/4 cup seasoning mixture; reserve remaining mixture for another use. Place rib upside-down and coat the bottom with 1/4 cup of wet rub mixture; flip and coat the back and ends with another 1/4 cup wet rub. Coat the top with 1/4 cup wet rub to ensure a smooth, thick coating; reserve any remaining wet rub for another use.
• Sear in the preheated oven until crust is dark golden brown with dark spots, 15 to 30 minutes. Do not let the internal temperature exceed 57 degrees F (14 degrees C) while searing. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C); open the oven to vent heat from searing process.
• Place a wire rack onto another sheet pan and transfer the rib roast to the new pan. Return the rib to the oven with an internal thermometer inserted into the middle of the rib facing the oven window, or use a remote thermometer.
• Roast the rib in the preheated oven until the internal temperature is about 10 degrees less than desired doneness, 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours. An internal temperature between 130 and 135 degrees F (55 to 57 C) is good for medium-rare, so remove at 120 to 125 degrees F (49 to 52 C).
• Turn the oven temperature as low as it will go; open the door to vent heat and humidity for about 5 minutes. Close the door and let roast sit in the oven for at least 1 hour more.
• Transfer rib to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes; slice using a very sharp or electric knife and serve.

GARLIC PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Place the roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Spread the mixture over the fatty layer of the roast, and let the roast sit out until it is at room temperature, no longer than 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Bake the roast for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and continue roasting for an additional 60 to 75 minutes. The internal temperature of the roast should be at 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) for medium rare.
• Allow the roast to rest for 10 or 15 minutes before carving so the meat can retain its juices.

GARLIC HERB-CRUSTED PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position the oven rack on the lowest level in the oven. Preheat oven to 450 F.
• Carefully remove prime rib roast from the bones so that the bones remain attached to each other (or have your butcher do it for you). Place the bones in the bottom of a large heavy roaster pan. The ribs will serve as the rack for the roast.
• Sprinkle both ribs and roast generously with the salt and pepper.
• Place garlic , onion, horseradish, oregano, flour, and mayonnaise in a food processor and pulse until it forms a smooth paste.
• Press the garlic paste onto all sides of the roast and place fat-side up on the rib rack in the pan.
• Place the pan in your pre-heated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
• Reduce oven heat to 275 F. Bake an additional 1 1/2 hours or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast indicates a temperature of 120 to 125 F. Check at 10-minute intervals until it reaches the desired temperature.
• Once the roast reaches 120 to 125 F, move it to a platter and keep warm. Let rest at least 15 minutes before carving. The carryover cooking will increase the temperature of the meat by 10 to 25 F, which will bring you to a perfect medium-rare at 135 F.
• Pour drippings from the pan into a gravy separator or glass measuring cup. Siphon off grease and reserve juices.
• Place the roasting pan over medium-high heat and add red wine. Deglaze the pan by stirring to scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Boil until juices are reduced by half, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add beef broth, reserved beef juices, and any juice that has collected in the platter. Cook, stirring often until reduced again by half.
• Slice the prime rib roast and the separate ribs. Serve with the reduced pan sauce and ​ creamed horseradish dill sauce .
• Enjoy!
