STANDING RIB ROAST



Standing Rib Roast image

Roast beef is classic British fare. It's the centerpiece of a traditional Sunday dinner, and the hearty main course for a holiday celebration. Chef Anne Willan has drawn on her own family's techniques for cooking and serving a standing rib roast for this recipe, which is served with roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 rib roast (7 to 8 pounds), with 3 to 4 ribs trimmed
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef stock
Anne Willan's Roasted Potatoes
2 pounds cooked brussels sprouts, for serving
Horseradish Sauce

Steps:

  • Remove any excess fat from the roast, leaving a thin layer. In a small bowl, combine dry mustard, sugar, and Dijon mustard. Brush mixture over the fat and cut surfaces of the roast. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Set the roast, rib-side down, in a heavy, shallow roasting pan. (The ribs act as a natural rack.) Using a paring knife, score the fat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast, basting every 15 minutes, until it reaches a temperature of 125 degrees for medium rare on an instant-read thermometer. Remove roast to a platter. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the roasting pan. Set pan on stove over medium heat. Simmer until juices begin to darken, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook, scraping up caramelized bits, until flour is deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil, stirring until thickened. It should very lightly coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Strain gravy and serve with potatoes, brussels sprouts, and horseradish sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose a quality roast: Look for a roast with good marbling and a nice, even shape.
  • Season the roast well: Use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage.
  • Cook the roast slowly: This will help the roast stay tender and juicy. Cook the roast at a low temperature (250-300 degrees Fahrenheit) for 3-4 hours.
  • Let the roast rest before carving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the roast, making it even more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the roast with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Prime rib roast is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its tender, juicy meat and flavorful crust, it is sure to impress your guests. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect prime rib roast that everyone will love.
