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.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

3-4 bone prime rib roast (boned and tied)
4 tablespoons butter (softened)
1/4 cup garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons black pepper (freshly cracked)
2 teaspoons salt (high quality)
2 tablespoons parsley (fresh, chopped)
1 tablespoon rosemary (fresh, chopped)
1 tablespoon thyme (fresh, chopped)
3 cups water (for roasting pan)

Steps:

  • Remove prime rib roast from refrigerator and let come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Leave the roast tied together.
  • Preheat oven to 450º F.
  • Spread butter over the entire prime rib roast.
  • Rub garlic, pepper, salt, and herbs over entire roast, pressing it into the butter.
  • Place prime rib roast in a rack set over a roasting pan. You can use 3 balls of foil to elevate the roast in the pan if you don't have a rack.
  • Pour 2 cups of the water in the bottom of the roasting pan, being careful not to pour any on the roast. This is just to keep the fats from burning in the bottom of the roasting pan and provide some moisture in the oven.
  • Roast at 450º for 20 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 325º F and continue to roast until medium-rare (130-135ºF), about 1.5 hours. Check the water in the roasting pan and the temperature of the prime rib roast after about 1-hour,adding more water if necessary.
  • Remove the prime rib roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Cut and remove the strings and slice the prime rib, or remove the bottom bones (they will just slide off) if you want to serve thinner slices.

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.
