Best 4 Herb Crusted Rib Roast Recipes

HERB-CRUSTED BEEF RIB ROAST WITH POTATOES, CARROTS, AND PINOT NOIR JUS

Steps:

• For roast beef:
• Pat roast dry and put, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan.
• Coarsely crush peppercorns in a mortar and pestle or folded kitchen towel (not terry cloth) with a meat pounder or bottom of a heavy skillet. Stir together peppercorns, 3 tablespoons kosher salt, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl.
• Rub roast all over with oil, then coat it all over with peppercorn mixture, pressing to help it adhere. Let coated roast stand at room temperature 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in lower third. Roast beef roast 20 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat (do not touch bone) registers 110°F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Transfer to a platter (keep fat and pan juices in roasting pan) and let stand, uncovered, 40 minutes (temperature of meat will rise to about 130°F for medium-rare).
• While roast stands, put second oven rack in upper-third position and increase oven temperature to 450°F. Line 1 sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Strain pan juices from roasting pan through a sieve into a glass measuring cup (reserve roasting pan). Drain potatoes well and toss in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons melted beef fat from roasting pan and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, then spread out on parchment-lined sheet pan. Toss carrots in same bowl with another 3 tablespoons beef fat from pan and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, then spread out on other rimmed sheet pan. Roast vegetables in upper and lower thirds of oven, stirring occasionally and switching position of pans halfway through roasting, until golden, 25 to 30 minutes for carrots and 30 to 35 minutes for potatoes.
• Make jus while vegetables roast:
• Skim off and discard any remaining fat from pan juices. Set pan over 2 burners. Add 1 cup of wine and deglaze pan by boiling it over high heat, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Pour into pan juices in cup.
• Cook shallot in 1 tablespoon butter with remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Add wine mixture in cup, along with remaining wine in bottle, and boil over high heat until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 10 minutes.
• Add broth and continue to boil over high heat until mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Strain mixture through a sieve into another saucepan and whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter (cut into pieces) until incorporated. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
• To carve roast, slide a carving knife along inside of ribs to separate meat from bones, then cut ribs into individual bones. Slice meat and serve with vegetables and jus.

HERB-CRUSTED STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Let beef sit at room temperature 1 hour. Preheat oven to 275 degrees, with rack in lower third. In a spice grinder, combine fennel seed, thyme, and rosemary and process into a powder. Pat beef dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Place a large broilerproof roasting pan across two burners and heat over medium-high. Add beef, fat side down, and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Transfer beef to a rimmed baking sheet. Tilt pan and use paper towels to wipe any burned bits from bottom but leave drippings. When beef is cool enough to handle, sprinkle all over with herb mixture.
• With a serrated knife, cut garlic heads in half crosswise. Arrange garlic halves in middle of pan; prop beef on top. Roast until garlic is tender and beef is medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of roast should read 125 degrees), 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Transfer roast and garlic to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil; let rest 30 minutes.
• To carve, separate the meat from the bones by sliding a knife between the ribs and the meat and cutting downward, following curve of bones. Then cut the ribs apart.
• To serve, slice meat against the grain. Arrange on a serving platter with ribs and garlic.

HERB CRUSTED PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F Season roast on all sides with salt, pepper and garlic. Place roast on rack in 13x9 inch baking dish. Bake 1 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, chop parsley coarsely. Combine in small bowl with bread crumbs and rosemary; set aside.
• Remove roast from oven. Coat roast with mustard and then bread crumb mixture. Bake 1 more hour or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees (medium rare) or up to 170 degrees (well done). Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness.
• Let roast stand 10-15 minutes before slicing; slice and serve.

HERB CRUSTED PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Rub the prime rib all over with some veggie oil. Season both sides of the meat with an aggressive amount of salt, including the end caps. You want a generous amount all over so it helps form a crust while cooking. Continue seasoning with some pepper(not as much as the salt), and a good amount of fresh herbs all over the meat. Use a knife to cut slits of the top side(fat side) of the meat. Make the cuts just big enough to stuff the garlic cloves all around. Ideally, let the roast marinate uncovered overnight in the fridge. This will help infuse lots of flavor and help form a great crust. Alternatively, you could let the roast come up to room temperature for 1-1.5 hours with the seasoning on before you cook it.
• Pre-heat oven to 325 F and setup the oven rack so the roast will sit on the bottom rack. Put the prime rib on a roasting rack in a pan. Insert a probe thermometer in the deepest part of the meat(don't touch the bones), and roast in the oven for 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130 F(120 F for medium rare). You may need to add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the roasting pan if the fat starts to smoke.
• While the meat is cooking, make the butter by adding all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Butter can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for 1 week.
• When the meat reaches 130 F, take it out of the oven and loosely cover it with tin foil. Let rest for 30-60 minutes so the juices can re-distribute. Slice the meat, top it with the butter and enjoy!
