ROAST PRIME RIB AU POIVRE

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees.
• Place beef, fat side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle beef with salt.
• Mix mustard and garlic in a small bowl. Spread mustsard mixture over top of beef. Sprinkle 2 T. crushed peppercorns over mustard mixture.
• Roast beef 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees. Roast until meat thermometer inserted in center of roast registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, tenting loosely with foil if crust browns too quickly, about 2 hours and 45 minutes. Transfer beef to platter; tent with foil to keep warm and rest.
• Meanwhile, pour pan juices into a 2-cup glass measuring cup (do not clean pan). Freeze pan juices for 10 minutes. Spoon fat off top of pan juices, returning 1 T. fat to roasting pan. Reserve juices.
• Melt fat in same roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and saute until tender, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add canned beef broth, then Cognac (be careful, liquid may ignite). Return pan to heat and boil until liquid is reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes. Add pan juices and remaining 1 t. crushed peppercorns. Transfer pan juices to sauceboat.
• Carve roast and serve with juices.

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.
