Prime Rib Roast Recipes

PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Liberally season the prime rib with the salt and some pepper and refrigerate overnight.
• An hour before cooking, remove the roast from the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the reserved ribs in a roasting pan bowed-side up (the ribs will be acting as the roasting rack). Scatter any fat and meat trimmings in the pan around the bones. Roast the bones and trimmings for about 30 minutes, or until the fat starts to render.
• Remove the pan from the oven, put the rosemary sprigs on top of the bones, then top with the prime rib. Put the smashed garlic in the bottom of the pan with the trimmings. Baste the beef with the fat drippings and return the pan to the oven.
• Cook for 30 minutes and then baste the roast again.
• Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and cook until the meat is medium rare (an internal temperature of 125 degrees F to 130 degrees F), about 1 hour, 15 minutes, basting the roast every 30 minutes until it is done. Keep in mind that the roast will continue to cook while resting.
• Remove the roast from the oven and put it on a cutting board to rest, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Slice the prime rib to the desired thickness and garnish with the arugula and olive oil.

GRILLED PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• First, make several half inch deep holes in your meat across all sides of the roast with a sharp knife, spaced about two inches apart.
• Fill the holes with slivered pieces of garlic and rosemary leaves alternating between the two (this will likely require about 7 cloves of garlic and 3 sprigs of rosemary depending on how thinly you cut the garlic and how many leaves are on a sprig).
• Once the holes have been filled, mix together two tablespoons each of black pepper, kosher salt, paprika, and dried rosemary with a tablespoon of vegetable oil, rubbing or brushing it onto the meat on all sides.
• Once seasoned, allow the meat to rest at room temperature for half an hour.
• This lets the meat warm up slightly before it hits the heat, ensuring a more even cook and a juicier end product.
• While your roast warms up, now is a good time to light the grill.
• The properly cook prime rib using this method, you need to set up your grill for indirect cooking at a grill temperature of about 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• For a charcoal grill, this would mean placing coals only on one side of the grill or using a heat diffuser, while keeping one area of a propane grill turned off.
• Additionally, add a grill safe baking pan underneath the space you plan to put the prime rib, as this will let you catch the drippings you'll use for making gravy later on.
• Once the grill and the meat have come up to temperature, you can begin cooking.
• Place your prime rib roast onto the grate in the cold spot you make earlier for indirect grilling.
• You can expect the roast to cook for around 12 minutes per pound of meat, meaning close to 3 and a half hours for a roast this size.
• Remember to periodically add a little bit of water to the baking pan catching the drippings to prevent them from burning.
• When the meat has reached the designated temperature, remove it from the grill and place it onto a cutting board or other flat surface.
• Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 20 minutes if not an hour.
• During this resting period, the meat fibers will relax and reabsorb some of their lost juices, leading to a more tender and flavorful meat.
• Additionally, this extra time allows the residual heat inside the roast to distribute evenly, raising the temperature by about 5 degrees and ending the cooking process.
• As your meat rests, now is the perfect time to make some delicious gravy to go with it.
• Place the pan full of drippings onto the stove and heat it over medium heat.
• Add in a few tablespoons of flower, stirring it into the fat until it's completely coated.
• Cook the flower for about two minutes before adding in a cup of beef or chicken stock, whisking the mixture vigorously and scrapping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits stuck to the bottom.
• Continue cooking the gravy until it reaches your desired thickness, adding salt and pepper to taste.
• You could also toss in a few fresh herbs to help make it extra flavorful. Once it's done, strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a container.
• Once both your meat and gravy are ready, it's time to eat.

ROAST PRIME RIB

Steps:

• For the prime rib: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Put the butter, horseradish, peppercorns and 2 tablespoons salt in a medium bowl and stir until evenly combined. Slather the seasoned butter evenly over the top and sides of the roast (leave the bottom bare) and put on a rack set in a large roasting pan. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes (5 minutes per pound), then turn the oven off and let the roast sit inside the oven for 1 1/2 hours (do not open the oven door during this time). It should be dark golden brown on the outside and medium rare on the inside.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, whisk the sour cream, horseradish, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper together in a medium bowl until well combined. Stir in the chives, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Cut the roast into 1-inch-thick slices and serve with the sauce.

SLOW ROASTED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Salt the roast all over with 1 Tbsp. kosher salt the day before you plan on cooking it and refrigerate overnight, uncovered.
• When ready to roast, preheat the oven to 200°F. Place prime rib roast on rack in roasting pan.Rub the roast all over with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and 1-2 tsp. freshly cracked black pepper.
• Place roasting pan in preheated oven until the center of the roast reads 120°F for medium-rare.This takes about 4 hours, but time will vary depending on the size of the roast. Use an instant-read thermometer or meat probe and cook to 5 degrees below your desired degree of doneness.Remove roast from oven and tent with foil to rest for at least 20 minutes. Turn oven temp up to 500°F.
• Once the oven reaches 500°F, remove the foil and put the roast back in the oven. Cook until the outside is nicely browned and crisp, about 10-15 minutes. Transfer roast to a cutting board and rest the roast at least 15 minutes before serving.

Place beef, fat side up, in a roasting pan and allow it to come to room temperature. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Cook beef for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into meat (away from bone) registers 115 to 120 degrees (for rare), about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes longer. Let rest 20 minutes.
• Slice meat away from ribs, cutting along the bones. Then, slice meat crosswise to desired thickness. Serve, garnished with whole sage leaves.
