CHEF JOHN'S PERFECT PRIME RIB



Chef John's Perfect Prime Rib image

This is a specific formula for achieving a perfectly pink prime rib cooked somewhere a shade under medium rare. To use this method you must have a full-sized, modern oven with a digital temperature setting that indicates when it is preheated. Older ovens with manual controls can vary greatly, and the doors may not have the proper insulation.

ROASTED PRIME RIB RECIPE - (4.6/5)



ROASTED PRIME RIB Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-48147

Number Of Ingredients 6

There are no measurements here. Just generous amounts of the following:
1 - 5.75 pound prime rib roast of beef (2 bones)
Butter at room temperature
Herbs de Provence
Fresh cracked pepper
Kosher salt - a generous amount

Steps:

  • Step 1- So, my roast is 5.75 lbs. x 5 minutes = 28.75 minutes. I will round up to 29 minutes and add 1 minute for the heat lost when opening the oven door. Keep this in the back of your mind for future reference. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (this MUST be an accurate temp) Put roast, rib side down in roasting pan Mix the pepper and herbs in the butter until well combined. Spread the butter mixture over the entire surface of the prime rib. The more the better. Put the kosher salt over the entire surface of the butter. Be very GENEROUS. Use more than you think you should here. Most of the salt will run off and very little will remain on the meat. I can't stress the "generous" enough. Put the roast in the 500 degree oven for 30 minutes as outlined in step 1. The time will be according to the size of your roast. After the 30 minutes, simply turn the oven off and walk away from it for 2 hours. Yup, just walk away. Do NOT open the door; fiddle with it or anything else. Pretend the roast does not exist. After 2 hours, remove the roast, slice and serve. You can remove the rib bones for easier slicing and it also makes it easier to get 4 generous servings from the roast. Save the bones! Serve with au jus or horseradish sauce etc. Whatever you like. You will surely love this method. You will get a succulent, moist roast between rare and medium rare. Perfect!

HOW TO COOK A SMALL PRIME RIB ROAST (CLOSED OVEN METHOD)



How to Cook a Small Prime Rib Roast (Closed Oven Method) image

This closed oven method will give you a beautifully crusted prime rib roast that's cooked to a perfect medium rare. This technique is ideal for smaller, 4 to 6 pound boneless rib roasts.

Provided by Kaylie

Categories     dinner     Main Course

Time 5h35m

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 pound Boneless rib roast
Kosher salt, to taste
Ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Set the roast out at room temperature 3 hours prior to roasting.
  • 30 minutes prior to roasting, Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
  • To determine the "active" roasting time (how long to roast the meat at 500 degrees Fahrenheit) multiply the weight (in pounds) of your roast by 5 minutes. Example: If your roast is 4 pounds, then 4 X 5 = 20 minutes of "active" roasting time. If roast is 4.5 pounds, then 4.5 x 5 = 22.5 minutes roasting time (I would round up to 23 minutes).
  • Tie the roast with twine, making sure it's a uniform circumference.
  • Generously season all sides of the roast with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Place the roast on the roasting pan with a rack, fat side up. After 30 minutes of preheating the oven, place the pan on the middle rack. Shut the door and set your time for the active roasting time. Set a timer!
  • When the timer goes off, turn off the oven. Set your timer for 2 hours and walk away! Do NOT open the oven door!
  • Once the 2 hours is up, cut and serve right away.

  • Let the roast rest for at least 15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
