Best Prime Rib My Way 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.

BEST NO-FAIL PRIME RIB (GARLIC HERB CRUST)

Steps:

• Remove the prime rib from the fridge 2-3 hours before cooking, and allow it to come to room temperature.
• Preheat your oven to 450F/230C. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic, salt, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
• After the prime rib has come to room temperature, pat it down with paper towels to make sure it's dry. Then rub the entire outside of the prime rib with the herb butter mixture.
• Place the prime rib in an oven-safe pan or roasting tray with the bones-side down, fat-side up. Place the onion slices in the pan around the meat, if you're making the red wine au jus. If not, you can omit the onions.
• Cook the prime rib in the center of the oven for 20 minutes at 450F. It should get a nice sear on the outside. If not, cook it a few minutes longer. Then reduce the temperature of the oven to 325F and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 120F (about an hour and a half), for medium-rare. But go by temperature, not time, as it will depend on the size of your prime rib and your oven.
• Remove the prime rib from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. You can tent it with aluminum foil to keep it warm. Then, remove the string and bones, and slice it up into thick 1/2" slices.
• After you've removed the fat from the pan, add up to 1/4 cup of drippings back in along with the beef broth and red wine. If you have leftover herbs, you can toss those in as well.
• Simmer this for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half. It's meant to be a thin sauce, but if you'd like to add a little bit of a thickener, you can do that as well. Strain the au jus to remove the onion and any browned bits, then drizzle over the prime rib.

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.

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.

PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Remove the roast from the refrigerator 2 or 3 hours before cooking.
• Preheat oven to 450.
• Rub butter on the cut ends of the roast.
• Combine flour, salt and pepper together in a small bowl, and then massage the mixture all over the meat.
• Set the roast, rib side down, in a shallow roasting pan (the ribs act as a natural rack), and place in the oven. Roast for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, or until the roast is nicely darkened. Reduce oven to 350 and continue to roast, basting every 15 or 20 minutes, until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees (for medium-rare) on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes before carving into either huge slabs or off the bone entirely and then thin slices.

PRIME RIB MY WAY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil; pour the beef broth and water inches Place the shallot sections in the pan so that the prime rib will be located over them. Spray the rack with nonstick spray and place into the pan; be careful not to tear the foil.
• Mix together the rosemary, thyme, garlic and onion powders, black pepper and salt. Brush olive oil over top of the prime rib; spread seasoning rub onto it.
• Place the roast onto the center of the rack; make sure it it over the shallots. Roast the beef for 45 minutes at the 400F temperature; turn the temperature down to 300F and roast to desired doneness. (125F is rare, 135F is medium-rare, 145F is medium and 155F is well).
• Once you have the roast at the desired doneness, pull the entire pan out of the oven and let it all rest for 30 minutes. This lets the juices from the roast redistribute back throughout itself; then place the roast on a cutting board and cut one inch slices.
• Remove the shallots with a slotted spoon; pour all the remaining liquids and solids into a freezer safe plastic bowl; put the bowl into the freezer for 45 minutes; the fat will rise to the surface, solidify and you can just remove it easily with a spoon. Pour the fat free liquid through a strainer to remove any bits of missed solid fat or herbs. Chop up the shallots finely and add them to the au jus, or leave in pieces and serve as a side to the beef.

PRIME RIB - IT'S EASIER THAN YOU THINK

Steps:

• Place roast, bone side down, in a roasting pan.
• Mix olive oil, steak seasoning, garlic, Italian seasoning, and mustard powder together in a small bowl; spread over the roast. Allow roast to come to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Bake roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Insert a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the roast away from the bone.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Continue to cook in the oven to your desired degree of doneness, or an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) for medium, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
