Best 5 Dry Aged Prime Rib Recipes

DRY-AGED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Dissolve kosher salt in water and use it to wipe down the prime rib. Pour enough sea salt over a rimmed sheet pan to cover it completely; sprinkle pink salt on top. Place a roasting rack over the salt. Place prime rib on the rack and refrigerate at 34 to 38 degrees F (1 to 3 degrees C), uncovered, 30 to 40 days.
• Remove prime rib from the fridge. Trim off fat as needed. Transfer the rack into a roasting pan and place prime rib on top. Spray the surface with water and season generously with kosher salt. Refrigerate 24 to 48 hours to let meat absorb salt.
• Remove prime rib from fridge and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let warm up slightly, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Insert a probe thermometer into the prime rib.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300° F (150° C). Bake for about 90 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached, 125° F (52° C) for rare, 130° F (54° C) for medium-rare, or 135° F (57° C) for medium. Let rest for 30 minutes before slicing.

DRY-AGED STANDING RIB ROAST WITH SAGE JUS

Steps:

• Remove any plastic wrapping or butcher's paper from the roast. Place the standing rib roast upright onto a half sheet pan fitted with a rack. The rack is essential for drainage. Place dry towels loosely on top of the roast. This will help to draw moisture away from the meat. Place into a refrigerator at approximately 50 to 60 percent humidity and between 34 and 38 degrees F. You can measure both with a refrigerator thermometer. Change the towels daily for 3 days.
• Place a 16-inch round azalea terra cotta planter into a cold oven. Invert the planter to become a lid over a pizza stone or the bottom of the planter. The oven should be cold to start, to avoid any cracking in the terra cotta pieces. Turn the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Remove the roast from the refrigerator and rub with canola oil. Remember to rub the bones with oil, as well. Once the roast is completely coated with oil cover the roast with kosher salt, about half a teaspoon per bone. Next, rub with freshly ground pepper to coat the surface. Place the roast over a glass bake-ware dish slightly smaller than the length of the roast. This will catch the drippings needed for the sauce. Finally, place a probe thermometer into the center of the roast and set for 118 degrees. Put the roast and the bake-ware dish onto the pizza stone, cover with the terra cotta pot, and return to the oven. Turn the oven down to 200 degrees F and roast until internal temperature is achieved.
• Remove the roast and turn oven up to 500 degrees F. Remove the terra cotta lid and recover with heavy-duty foil. Allow the roast to rest until an internal temperature of 130 degrees F. is reached. Place the roast back into the preheated 500 degree F oven for about 10 minutes or until you've achieved your desired crust. Remove and transfer roast to a cutting board. Keep covered with foil until ready to serve.
• Degrease the juices in the glass pan. Place the pan over low heat and deglaze with 1 cup of water. Add the wine and reduce by half. Roll the sage leaves in between your fingers to release the flavors and aroma. Add to the sauce and cook for 1 minute. Strain and serve on the side.
