Time 4h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary, or more to taste
1 pinch crushed dried sage
1 pinch finely ground dried thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (4.5 pound) bone-in prime rib roast
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, or more to taste
¼ cup soy sauce, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Mix garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Pat garlic mixture over entire roast. Make an incision down the middle of the roast, keeping parallel with the bones. Place the roast in a plastic roasting bag and pour Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce into the bag, concentrating on the incision in the roast. Tie the bag and refrigerate roast to marinate, turning often, at least 2 hours.
  • Remove roast from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours. Remove roast from bag and discard marinade. Place roast, fat-side up, in a roasting pan.
  • Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue cooking until an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour. Let roast stand for 20 minutes before slicing.

Time P1DT5h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 first-cut 3-bone prime rib roast (about 6 1/2 pounds), also called standing rib roast
1/3 cup freshly grated peeled horseradish (from about a 5-ounce piece)
1 1/4 cups creme fraiche or sour cream
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bunches rosemary
2 bunches sage
2 bunches thyme
1 tablespoon olive oil
Flaky sea salt, for serving

  • Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 1 day and up to 3 days to age the meat.
  • At least 4 hours and up to 1 day before serving, mix the horseradish, creme fraiche, vinegar and sugar together; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Toss the rosemary, sage and thyme with the oil, and arrange on the bottom of a roasting pan. Season the prime rib generously with salt and pepper, then set it on top of the herbs.
  • Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the prime rib registers 125 degrees F, 3 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours. Remove from the oven and let rest at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 500 degrees F. Right before serving, return the rested prime rib to the oven and roast until the outside is browned and caramelized, about 10 minutes.

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 rib roast (5-6 lbs)
2 tablespoons onion salt
2 tablespoons seasoning salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500º.
  • Mix seasonings together and pat all over the roast.
  • It probably won't stick very well to the fat side but that's ok.
  • Put the roast in a Dutch oven, preferably on a small rack to lift it off the bottom of the pot.
  • Bone side up (fat side down).
  • Place a meat thermometer in the middle of the roast being careful not to get too close to the bone.
  • Cover with lid (you need a fairly large Dutch oven so the lid will fit on properly).
  • Cook the roast in the oven for 5-6 minutes per pound, then shut off the oven.
  • DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR FOR TWO HOURS, UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH!
  • ****The 2 hours starts as soon as the roast is put in the oven****.
  • After two hours, take it out and check the temperature.
  • If it's 140º, it's perfect!
  • If it's cooler, put back in oven at 375º until it reaches 140º.
  • This procedure will yield a PERFECT MEDIUM RARE PRIME RIB.
  • Don't ask how to do medium or well done because cooking prime rib past medium rare is a felony.

EASY PRIME RIB



Easy Prime Rib image

This makes the best prime rib for even the toughest critics. My husband raises beef cattle so he loves good prime rib and he says this is the best he's ever had--anywhere--even at a restaurant. We like it so much that sometimes I season a regular roast this way but then slow cook it so it stays tender. The amount of seasonings here is for a roast that is around 5-7 lbs.

Time 2h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

prime rib roast (figure approx. 1/2 lb. per person)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed thyme

Steps:

  • Let the prime rib roast stand at room temperature for about an hour.
  • Mix the salt, pepper, white pepper, garlic powder and crushed thyme together in a small bowl.
  • Poke holes in the roast at 1 inches intervals with a fork.
  • Rub top and sides of roast with the 2 T. of Worcestershire sauce.
  • Rub the powdered seasonings all over the top and sides of roast.
  • Place fat side up in pan. Don't cover and don't add water/liquid.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees then turn down to 350 when you put the roast in (this will sear the outside).
  • The actual roasting time will depend on the size roast that you have.
  • Roast for 18-22 minutes per pound for medium rare. Let stand 30-40 minutes until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees before cutting.
  • 140 degrees is rare, 150 degrees is medium, 170 degrees is well done.

Tips:

  • Choose the right prime rib roast: Look for a roast that is at least 3 inches thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that it is juicy and flavorful.
  • Season the roast generously: Rub the roast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage.
  • Roast the beef at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the roast from drying out. The ideal temperature for roasting prime rib is 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the roast rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the roast with your favorite sides: Prime rib is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Prime rib is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can easily cook a perfect prime rib roast that will wow your guests. So next time you are looking for a special meal to make, give prime rib a try. You won't be disappointed!
