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.

PRIME RIB



Prime Rib image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (3-rib) standing rib roast (7 pounds), the first cut, aged if possible, set at room temperature for up to 3 hours, and tied
Salt
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to low position and preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a large roasting pan over 2 burners set at medium-high heat. Place roast in hot pan and sear on all sides until nicely browned and about 1/2 cup of fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove roast from pan. Set a wire rack in pan; set roast on rack. Generously season meat with salt and pepper.
  • Place roast in oven and roast until a meat thermometer registers 130 degrees for medium-rare, about 3 1/2 hours. If roast is done sooner than you expect, simply turn oven as low as possible (preferably 150 to 170 degrees F) and let stand until ready to serve.
  • Transfer roast to a cutting board, with rib bones perpendicular to board. Using a carving fork to hold roast in place, cut along rib bones to sever meat from bones. Set roast cut side down and carve meat across grain into 3/4 to 1-inch-thick slices. Serve immediately.

PERFECT PRIME RIB



Perfect Prime Rib image

I saw this made on a video and my mouth was was watering! Prime Rib is so expensive I can't bear to ruin a cut, so here it is. Perfection!

Provided by pammyowl

Categories     Winter

Time 5h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 lbs prime rib roast
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon herbes de provence or 1 teaspoon thyme, whatever you like best
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place rib roast on a plate and bring to room temperature, about 4 hours.
  • Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Combine butter, pepper, and herbes de Provence in a bowl; mix until well blended. Spread butter mixture evenly over entire roast. Season roast generously with kosher salt.
  • Roast the 4-pound prime rib (see footnote if using a larger and smaller roast) in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and, leaving the roast in the oven with the door closed, let the roast sit in the oven for 2 hours. Remove roast from the oven, slice, and serve.
  • Tip*.
  • Your cooking times will vary depending on the size of your prime rib roast. To calculate your cooking time, multiply the exact weight of the roast by 5. Round the resulting number to the nearest whole number. The rib is cooked at 500 degrees F for exactly that many minutes. For example, for a 6 pound roast: 6x5=30, so cooking time is 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and wait 2 hours before opening the oven door. Remove the prime rib and slice into the most perfectly medium-rare meat you've ever see.

KITTENCAL'S PERFECT PRIME RIB ROAST BEEF



Kittencal's Perfect Prime Rib Roast Beef image

NOTE...THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE NOT THE TIME IS YOUR BEST GUARANTEE FOR DONENESS so for a perfectly cooked prime rib roast invest in a meat thermometer and you will never go wrong with this recipe! --- if desired you may omit the au jus and just serve the roast, I prefer to make the au jus especially if I am serving this at a holiday table --- use nothing else but only fresh garlic, a little salt and lots of fresh ground black pepper for this or you could use 1 teaspoon garlic salt, using any other spices will take away the flavor, nothing else is needed --- cooking on very high heat then reducing the temperature will seal in all the meat juices to produce the most tender and flavorful prime rib, this actually is the method that a lot of the higher end restaurants use to make there prime rib and is the method I always use when I make prime rib roast at my home --- the cooking time stated on the recipe is for a 3-4 pound prime rib, you can use this method for a larger prime rib and increase the cooking time please see bottom of directions --- for a perfectly cooked prime rib roast a meat thermometer inserted in the roast should read about 140 degrees for medium-rare doneness, it is advised not to cook prime rib more that medium-rare ----- using more that the specified amount of salt will draw out the juices from the roast, you could add a little more but it is best to salt the meat after it is cooked, using a minimum amount of salt will insure a juicy tender prime rib roast, 1 teaspoon or less of salt will be fine, remember to remove your roast from the fridge about 2 hours before cooking --- also see my recipe#146196 this is a must served with prime rib!

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Roast Beef

Time P1DT1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 -4 lbs center-cut prime rib roast, nicely marbled, and trimmed, but leave a layer of fat on top of roast for flavor
8 fresh large garlic cloves, sliced in half (or use many as desired)
fresh ground black pepper (use lots!)
1/2 teaspoon white salt (can use up to 1 teaspoon salt) or 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (can use up to 1 teaspoon salt)
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups beef stock (or use a good quality beef broth)

Steps:

  • Using a knife, poke small holes all over uncooked roast, and insert a half of a clove of fresh garlic in the hole (as many holes and as much garlic as desired).
  • Cover roast, and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, remove the roast from fridge and uncover; let sit out at room temperature for about 2 to 2-1/2 hours (this is an important step to relax the meat fibers, it will make for a more tender juicy roast, the length of counter-time will depend on the size of your roast).
  • Set oven to 450°F and allow the oven to preheat for a minimum of 15 minutes.
  • Season the roast with only a small amount of salt but lots of fresh ground black pepper pepper (that's all nothing else but a little salt and fresh ground black pepper, using any other spices will take away the flavor from the prime rib!).
  • Place the roast fat-side up on a rack in a shallow-sided pan, then insert a meat thermometer in the middle of the roast but not touching any rib bones.
  • Roast uncovered at 450°F for 20 minutes (a few more minutes won't hurt at 450°F).
  • After 20 minutes of high heat cooking reduce heat to 350°F and continue to roast for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes OR until the meat thermometer reads 130°F for rare doneness OR 140°F for medium-rare doneness, that is the way a prime rib really should be served, check your roast after 1 hour cooking time.
  • *NOTE* It is strongly advised to remove the roast slightly before desired degree of doneness is achieved as the roast will continue to rise in temperature several degrees after removing from the oven.
  • Remove meat to a carving board.
  • Cover loosely with foil and allow let rest (DO NOT CUT INTO ROAST for at least 20 or more minutes or all juices in the meat will flow out).
  • While the roast is resting prepare the au jus; place the roasting pan on top of the stove over high heat.
  • Add in the wine; cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring and scraping any brown bits.
  • Add in the beef stock; cook and reduce the juice by half (this might take about 20 minutes).
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice roast (just before serving!) and drizzle with some of the juice.
  • *NOTE* if desired you can cover the roast loosely with foil the first hour and then uncover and cook for the remaining time.
  • --------------------------------------------.
  • APPROXIMATE COOKING TIMES for the prime rib cooked at 350°F after the 20 minute cooking time at 450°F.
  • Rare; cook 12-13 minutes per pound or to 130°F.
  • Medium-rare; cook 14-16 minutes per pound or to 140°F (I would not recommend cooking a prime rib any more than medium-rare).
  • Since every oven cooks differently cooking times are only approximate.
  • SUGGESTED SERVING PORTIONS PER PERSON ----for a generous serving of prime rib roast you should figure on 2 people per rib, that means if you plan to serve 6 people you should be able to do so with 3 ribs/ eight people with 4 ribs/ do not bother with less than 3 ribs anything less than that is not a roast but rather a steak and would be better treated as such.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Prime Rib Roast: Look for a roast with good marbling and a nice layer of fat on top. This will help keep the roast moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the Roast Generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings on the roast. This will help develop a delicious crust and enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the Roast Slowly: Prime rib roast is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and evenly. This will help break down the connective tissue and make the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that the roast is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the roast should be 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 155°F for medium-well.
  • Let the Roast Rest Before Carving: Once the roast is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Conclusion:

Prime rib roast is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for special occasions. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect prime rib roast that will wow your guests.
