Best Bulletproof Easy Prime Rib Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S PERFECT PRIME RIB

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.

PERFECT CHRISTMAS PRIME RIB RECIPE (FOOLPROOF 500° METHOD)

Steps:

• Mix up 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon each of onion salt, seasoned salt, and garlic powder, for a total of 1/4 cup of seasoning mix.
• Pat the seasoning mix on both ends of the roast as well as the fat side. (The salt may not stick as well on the fat side, but don't worry about it.)
• Set the seasoned roast on a roasting rack, bone-side down and fat-side up. Place the rack in a large roasting pan, and insert your meat thermometer into the middle of the roast.
• Place the roast into a 500° preheated oven, uncovered, and cook for 5-6 minutes per pound.
• Then shut the oven off completely, and DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR FOR TWO HOURS.
• After two hours, check the temperature of the meat. If your thermometer reads 135-140°F, it's done! (If it isn't quite to temp yet, just put it back in the oven at 375°F until it's done.)

PRIME RIB

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.

EASY "NO PEEK" PRIME RIB

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

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.

PRIME RIB - FOOLPROOF

Steps:

• Allow roast to sit at room temp for an hour.
• Rinse off the roast and pat it dry.
• Rub olive oil and minced/crushed garlic over the entire roast.
• Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper.
• Bake uncovered for 1 hour at 375.
• DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN.
• Turn off the oven.
• Keep roast in the oven for 4 hours. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN.
• After the 4 hours, turn the oven back on to 375 and cook for an additional 30 minutes for rare-medium rare.

THE BEST PRIME RIB

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.
