Best 5 My Favorite Prime Rib Recipes

BEST NO-FAIL PRIME RIB (GARLIC HERB CRUST)

Steps:

• Remove the prime rib from the fridge 2-3 hours before cooking, and allow it to come to room temperature.
• Preheat your oven to 450F/230C. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic, salt, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
• After the prime rib has come to room temperature, pat it down with paper towels to make sure it's dry. Then rub the entire outside of the prime rib with the herb butter mixture.
• Place the prime rib in an oven-safe pan or roasting tray with the bones-side down, fat-side up. Place the onion slices in the pan around the meat, if you're making the red wine au jus. If not, you can omit the onions.
• Cook the prime rib in the center of the oven for 20 minutes at 450F. It should get a nice sear on the outside. If not, cook it a few minutes longer. Then reduce the temperature of the oven to 325F and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 120F (about an hour and a half), for medium-rare. But go by temperature, not time, as it will depend on the size of your prime rib and your oven.
• Remove the prime rib from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. You can tent it with aluminum foil to keep it warm. Then, remove the string and bones, and slice it up into thick 1/2" slices.
• After you've removed the fat from the pan, add up to 1/4 cup of drippings back in along with the beef broth and red wine. If you have leftover herbs, you can toss those in as well.
• Simmer this for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half. It's meant to be a thin sauce, but if you'd like to add a little bit of a thickener, you can do that as well. Strain the au jus to remove the onion and any browned bits, then drizzle over the prime rib.

BEST PRIME RIB RECIPE

Steps:

• Remove prime rib roast from refrigerator and let come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Leave the roast tied together.
• Preheat oven to 450º F.
• Spread butter over the entire prime rib roast.
• Rub garlic, pepper, salt, and herbs over entire roast, pressing it into the butter.
• Place prime rib roast in a rack set over a roasting pan. You can use 3 balls of foil to elevate the roast in the pan if you don't have a rack.
• Pour 2 cups of the water in the bottom of the roasting pan, being careful not to pour any on the roast. This is just to keep the fats from burning in the bottom of the roasting pan and provide some moisture in the oven.
• Roast at 450º for 20 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325º F and continue to roast until medium-rare (130-135ºF), about 1.5 hours. Check the water in the roasting pan and the temperature of the prime rib roast after about 1-hour,adding more water if necessary.
• Remove the prime rib roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Cut and remove the strings and slice the prime rib, or remove the bottom bones (they will just slide off) if you want to serve thinner slices.

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.

MY FAVORITE PRIME RIB

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your oven to 500*. Have a temp set in oven to make sure it is preheated to 500*. Melt butter and pour over all sides of COLD prime rib roast. Rub all sides with the Seasoning and some garlic powder. For every pound of Prime Rib you will cook the roast for 5 minutes with the oven door closed. Example. If you have a 6 pound roast...cook it for 30 minutes at 500*. Turn off oven and leave the door closed another 2 hours. This will give you well done on the end pieces, medium on the next piece of the end and medium rare in the for middle pieces.
