Perfect Standing Rib Roast Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S PERFECT PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Place rib roast on a plate and bring to room temperature, about 4 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Combine butter, pepper, and herbes de Provence in a bowl; mix until well blended. Spread butter mixture evenly over entire roast. Season roast generously with kosher salt.
• Roast the 4-pound prime rib (see footnote if using a larger and smaller roast) in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and, leaving the roast in the oven with the door closed, let the roast sit in the oven for 2 hours. Remove roast from the oven, slice, and serve.

FOOLPROOF RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small cup. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan so that the fatty side is up and the rib side is on the bottom. Rub the seasoning onto the roast.
• Roast for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Turn the oven off and leave the roast inside. Do not open the door. Leave it in there for 3 hours. 30 to 40 minutes before serving, turn the oven back on at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to reheat the roast. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees F (62 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving into servings.

Steps:

• Combine seasonings. Rub seasonings all over roast several hours in advance.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place roast on rack with fatty side up and rib side down. Place roast in oven and cook one hour.
• Turn off oven. DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR AT ALL DURING THIS PROCESS. Leave in oven for 3 hours without opening door.
• About 45 minutes before serving turn oven on to 375 degrees to reheat roast. Very important not to open oven from time roast is put in until ready to serve.
• This makes a RARE prime rib. If a more well done is desired, increase cooking time.

PERFECT STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Meat cooked in this way will be perfectly pink from center to edge, with no brown heat ring on the outside and only a small portion of pink, which is the case with any other cooking method. Use lower simmering oven on the AGA, otherwise 200 degrees. Place roast rib-side down in roasting pan, add 1/2 cup of water. Score the roast. Stir together thyme, marjoram, pepper, and garlic. Rub all over the roast. Cover pan tightly with foil. Take the probe of an electronic thermometer and push it into center of the roast - center from ends and edges and center depth of thickness. Push right through aluminum foil. Use lowest rack. Set the internal temperature high limit of the thermometer to 118°F. Figure about 1/2 hr. per lb. of roast; a 10lb. roast will take about 5 hours. Walk away and imbibe until the buzzer goes off. When roast reaches an internal temperature of 118°F, remove roast from oven, leaving foil and probe intact; set on counter. It will continue to cook by itself. Allow it to raise to 128°F, for 45 min. or so - great time to set the table, do the potatoes, squash, etc. Imbibe some more until buzzer goes off at 128°F. Meanwhile, raise oven temperature to 500°F. Once roast reaches 128°F, remove foil and probe. Place in upper AGA oven or 500°F oven for 15 minutes to crisp and brown. Remove roast from pan and allow to stand for 5 minutes while preparing gravy from the drippings. Combine mayo, horseradish, and chives. Whip cream; fold into mayo mixture, chill until serving time. Carving: Remove rib-rack, set aside. Turn back over, fat side up and slice into 1/2 to 3/4 inch slices; serve. Roast should be perfectly pink throughout except for ends, which are for the well-done requests.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a small bowl combine the cayenne, rosemary, and garlic. Add enough olive oil until it becomes a loose paste. Schmear the roast with the rosemary-garlic paste and really massage it into the meat. Season generously with kosher salt.
• Put the onions, baby carrots, celery and mushrooms in the bottom of a roasting pan. Toss with a little olive oil and salt, to taste. Add the wine, 1 cup of chicken stock and the bay leaves. Put the roast on top of the veggies and put into the preheated oven until the roast is really brown and lovely, about 25 to 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F for another 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Occasionally during the cooking time, spoon some of the juices over the meat. If the liquid level in the pan goes down too much, add the remaining 1 cup of stock. It also would be a great idea to rotate the roasting pan about halfway through the cooking process.
• Check the temperature of the meat by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the center of the roast. For medium-rare it should be 125 degrees F and 130 for medium. Remove the roast from the oven to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
• Taste the veggies in the pan juices and season with salt, to taste, if needed. Skim off any excess fat.
• Slice the roast and arrange on a serving platter. Serve with the veggies and the pan juices.

PERFECT RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to low position and preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a large roasting pan over 2 burners set at medium-high heat. Place roast in hot pan and sear on all sides until nicely browned and about 1/2 cup of fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove roast from pan. Set a wire rack in pan; set roast on rack. Generously season meat with salt and pepper.
• Place roast in oven and roast until a meat thermometer registers 130 degrees for medium-rare, about 3 1/2 hours. If roast is done sooner than you expect, simply turn oven as low as possible (preferably 150 to 170 degrees F) and let stand until ready to serve.
• Transfer roast to a cutting board, with rib bones perpendicular to board. Using a carving fork to hold roast in place, cut along rib bones to sever meat from bones. Set roast cut side down and carve meat across grain into 3/4 to 1-inch-thick slices. Serve immediately.
