Sunday Rib Roast Recipes

SUNDAY RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Two hours before roasting, remove meat from frig and allow it to come to room temperature. Place oven rack on 2nd lowest position. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Be sure your oven is very clean before heating to 500 to reduce smoking.
• Place roast in pan large enough to hold it comfortably, bone-side down, and spread the top thickly with the salt and pepper. Roast meat for 45 minutes. Without removing the meat from the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and roast for anouther 30 minutes. Finally, increase the temperature to 450 degrees F and roast for another 15-30 minutes, until internal temperature of the meat is 125 degrees F. Be sure thermometer is exactly in the center of the roast. The total cooking time will be between 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hours. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
• Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Carve and serve with Mustard Horseradish Sauce or Stilton Sauce.

SUNDAY RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
• Put beef, fat side up, in a small roasting pan and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Stir together flour and dry mustard, then pat onto top and sides of roast to form a thick coating.
• Roast beef 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and roast until thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 115°F, about 1 1/4 hours more. Transfer beef to a cutting board and let stand, uncovered, 25 minutes. Meat will eventually reach 125°F (medium-rare).

SUNDAY ROAST BEEF AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using a heavy hand, season rib-eye roast with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or a roasting pan. Place beef in hot pan and sear until deep golden brown on all sides. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare, making an approximate hour of cooking time. Remove the pan from oven and transfer the beef to a cutting board. Allow meat to rest for at least 15 minutes, tented with foil, before carving.
• Gravy:
• Pour off excess fat from the Dutch oven (reserve for Thyme for Yorkshire Pudding, if desired) and place on the stovetop over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft and brown, about 4 to 6 minutes. Deglaze the pot with 1/2 cup of the wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Add remaining wine, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add stock and simmer until reduced again by about half. Pass the gravy through a fine mesh sieve and return to the pan. Bring back to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until desired gravy consistency is reached. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary. Carve beef against the grain, into thin slices, and serve with gravy.

PRIME RIB

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Make slits all over the roast by pricking with a small knife. Insert slivers of sliced garlic. Season the roast with salt and pepper, then spread generously with mustard. Place on a rack in a roasting pan, and cover.
• Roast for 60 minutes in the preheated oven. Turn off oven. Leave oven closed, and do not peek for 90 minutes. The internal temperature of the meat should be at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-rare, or 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) for medium.
