Prime rib & glaze
1 5-6 pound prime rib thawed
3 tsp minced garlic
2 TBS dried rosemary leaves
2 TBS basil
2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
3 TBS hot honey mustard
3 TBS extra-virgin olive oil
Au-Jus
1 cup red wine
1 TBS thyme
4 cups of beef broth
drippings from the prime rib
Dressing
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp minced garlic
6 oz blue cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • 1. Let roast stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 2. In a food processor, finely mince garlic, rosemary, basil, salt, and pepper. Add mustard and olive oil, processing to form a paste. Smear the paste over the top and sides of the prime rib. 3. Cook the prime rib, bone side down, at 450 degrees for 15 mins. (this is to sear the roast and blackin the glaze). Reduce heat to 325 degrees and cook for about 2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 125 degrees, for rare to medium-rare. 4. Loosely cover the roast with foil and let rest for 20-30 minutes. The internal temp. will rise 5 to 10 degrees during this time. 5. To prpare the au-jus, drain the fat from the roasting pan leaving just the burnt pieces and bits. Place roasting over 2 burners on medium high heat. 6. Add red wine and boil to reduce while scrapping bottom of the pan with a wood spoon to get burnt pieces off the bottom. 7. Reduce heat to medium and slowly add beef broth while stirring and add thyme. 8. Reduce broth to half and then strain out thyme and the burnt bits and pieces. 9. To prepare the dressing, place cream and garlic in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower heat and simmer until the cream coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. 10. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in cheese. Season to taste with fresh ground black pepper.
