CHEF JOHN'S PERFECT PRIME RIB

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.

PRIME RIB

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 4-bone prime rib, bones and excess fat removed and reserved
4 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled, smashed
4 ounces arugula (optional)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil (optional)

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.

THE BEST PRIME RIB



The Best Prime Rib image

For our Sunday roast, we went with a foolproof reverse sear method - cooking the roast low and slow then finishing with an incredibly high heat - to get a juicy, perfectly medium-rare roast from edge to edge. The low heat dries the surface which allows the high heat to crisp it up nicely. And a long cooking time with a low, gentle heat avoids the gray band of overcooked meat that usually happens when you sear first.

Categories     main-dish

Time 10h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

One 3-rib standing rib roast (7 to 8 pounds)
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons black or tricolor peppercorns, coarsely ground

Steps:

  • Pat the skin of the roast completely dry and place on a cutting board, fat-side up. Use a paring knife to make small slits all over the fat, and then stud the meat with the garlic slices. Sprinkle all over with the salt and pepper, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Unwrap the roast and place fat-side up on a rack set in a roasting pan.
  • Roast the meat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 120 degrees F, about 4 hours. Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 hour. The temperature will continue to rise another 10 to 14 degrees as it sits.
  • Turn the oven to 500 degrees F. Place the roast back in the oven and bake until the fatty skin starts to crisp up and turn golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let rest another 30 minutes before transferring to a cutting board for slicing.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 three-rib prime roast, first cut, trimmed and tied
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons salt
3 short ribs, tied
1 1/2 cups dry red wine

Steps:

  • Place oven rack on lower level. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rub roast all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to heavy 13-by-16-inch metal roasting pan. Arrange fat-side up. Place short ribs in pan.
  • Cook 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees, and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thick end of roast (not touching a bone) reaches 115 degrees, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. If it hasn't, return it to oven; check temperature at 10-minute intervals.
  • Transfer roast to platter; set aside in warm spot for juices to collect. (As roast rests, temperature will increase about 10 degrees.) Do not tent, or crust will get soggy. The short ribs can be eaten as a snack, or reserved to make flavorful soups.
  • Pour fat and all dark drippings out of pan into a fat separator; set aside.
  • Place roasting pan over medium-high heat. Pour red wine into pan; scrape bottom with wooden spoon, scooping up crispy bits to deglaze pan. Add the drippings that have settled to the bottom of the fat separator, making sure not to add the fat. Cook until reduced by half, 5 to 8 minutes. Place a fine sieve in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour juices into strainer. Using a wooden spoon, press down on solids to extract juices. Discard solids. Serve the juices warm with the prime rib.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality prime rib roast. Look for a roast that is well-marbled with a good amount of fat. This will help the roast stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the roast generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. Be sure to season the roast all over, including the sides and bottom.
  • Cook the roast in a preheated oven at 450°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325°F and continue cooking for 20-25 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium.
  • Let the roast rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the roast, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the prime rib with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or horseradish sauce.
