EASY PRIME RIB OR RIB EYE ROAST



Easy Prime Rib or Rib Eye Roast image

This recipe is a combination of Ree Drummond's preparation and research of the reverse sear method. It is the easiest and most foolproof recipe for a roast and the technique works for pork as well. Play with the spices, but remember, simpler is better because the taste of the beef needs to be the star. I use my counter top roaster and it works great. Very little drippings will come from this roast, so plan on a separate gravy or Au Jus recipe (out of a package is fine). I panicked when my first 10 lb roast came out at 138 degrees after 5 hours. It was pink all the way through, juicy and perfect medium. I like rare to medium rare beef, so I try to roast this to about 125 degrees. The roast will gain 5-10 degrees while it rests. It does not need to be rested after the final step which only browns the outside and does not heat or affect the inside of the roast at all.

Time 17h

Yield 10 pounds, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 lbs rib eye roast or 10 lbs prime rib roast
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup peppercorn
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, to taste
6 sprigs fresh thyme, to taste

Steps:

  • Crush peppercorns in a bag using a rolling pin, or use the whirry thing to crush them up. A bullet blender is my favorite little whirry thing, but any food processor or spice/coffee grinder will work. Chop the rosemary and thyme. Mix salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme to blend. The salt and pepper are necessary, the other spices are optional. Don't be afraid to change the mixture to suit your personal taste. Less is more with added spices.
  • Roll the roast in the spice mixture to coat completely. Use more pepper and salt if needed to coat completely.
  • Wrap in aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet and refrigerate overnight or for at least 12 hours. I did 18 hours, the time is approximate. In my research, I also found that covering the roast while it marinates is negotiable.
  • Remove from refrigerator and let sit unwrapped on the counter for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for more even cooking and is necessary.
  • Preheat oven or roaster to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the roasting rack during this time. My turkey rack was perfect.
  • Cook uncovered on a roasting rack for 25 minutes per pound for medium rare to a temperature of 125 to 130. 30 minutes for a firm medium at 135-140 degrees. Any higher temperature will produce a grey, well done interior, not a good thing. No peeking! Check the temperature with an instant read digital thermometer (cheap, quick and accurate) inserted to the center of the roast an hour before time is up, then maybe one more time a half hour later. The temperature is most important for a great roast, not the cooking time.
  • Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for at least 30 minutes. This is your variable time, it can rest up to 2 hours, about an hour is optimal. This step is critical as the juices inside the meat are distributed and absorbed while resting. If cut at this time, the juices will drain, the meat will be exceptionally dry and lose a lot of flavor.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. 450 works almost as well if you are cooking something else at the same time. Roast for 8-10 minutes to brown the top. This step is only to brown the top, not for additional cooking and will not affect the interior temperature of the roast.
  • It is possible to slice immediately without losing the juices. Either slice at the table or just before serving.

PRIME RIB

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 4-bone prime rib, bones and excess fat removed and reserved
4 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled, smashed
4 ounces arugula (optional)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil (optional)

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 PRIME RIB



Easy Prime Rib image

This makes the best prime rib for even the toughest critics. My husband raises beef cattle so he loves good prime rib and he says this is the best he's ever had--anywhere--even at a restaurant. We like it so much that sometimes I season a regular roast this way but then slow cook it so it stays tender. The amount of seasonings here is for a roast that is around 5-7 lbs.

2 tablespoons onion salt
2 tablespoons seasoning salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder

Steps:

  • 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 cooler, put back in oven at 375º until it reaches 140º.

Tips:

  • Select the right roast: Choose a prime rib roast that is at least 3 inches thick and has good marbling.
  • Prepare the roast: Remove the roast from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about an hour before cooking. This will help the roast cook evenly.
  • Season the roast: Season the roast generously with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. You can also add a rub or marinade to the roast for extra flavor.
  • Cook the roast: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the roast on a roasting rack in a baking pan and cook for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue cooking for about 1 hour and 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
  • Let the roast rest: Once the roast is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the roast, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Prime rib roast is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for special occasions. By following these tips, you can easily cook a perfect prime rib roast that will be enjoyed by all.
