Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

Time 10h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (6 pound) boneless prime rib roast
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 carrot, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 small unpeeled onion, quartered and separated
2 teaspoons concentrated beef base (paste)
1 ½ cups water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • The day before serving, remove the roast from the package, and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Set the roast on a baking sheet, and place in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 1 hour before cooking time to allow meat to reach room temperature. Rub the roast all over with horseradish and Dijon mustard. In a bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, thyme, and garlic powder; sprinkle the spice mix over the roast.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place the celery, carrot, and onion pieces into the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the roast on top of the vegetables.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and roast until the meat is browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reads 130 to 135 degrees F (54 to 57 degrees C) for medium-rare. Remove from oven, transfer roast to a platter, and cover with a tent of aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 30 minutes. Temperature of the meat will rise about 10 degrees during resting time.
  • To make au jus sauce, skim excess fat from the pan drippings in the roasting pan. Place the pan over a burner set to medium heat, and stir in the beef base and 1 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, scraping and dissolving any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the pan. Strain out and discard the vegetables. Combine the cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl, and whisk the mixture into the sauce. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly (sauce will be thin), pour into a gravy boat, and serve with roast.

CHEF JOHN'S PERFECT PRIME RIB

This is a specific formula for achieving a perfectly pink prime rib cooked somewhere a shade under medium rare. To use this method you must have a full-sized, modern oven with a digital temperature setting that indicates when it is preheated. Older ovens with manual controls can vary greatly, and the doors may not have the proper insulation.

PERFECTLY JUICE PRIME RIB



Perfectly Juice Prime Rib image

This is my "tradmark" Christmas Eve Dinner. DH won't even order prime rib in a restaurant anymore, because he prefers mine. Its a super easy recipe, great for dinner parties, but DO NOT alter cooking times or directions. And DO NOT carve until just before serving. Here NEEDS a clarification!!! The salt is only intended to produce a shell to keep the moisture in. It's not intended to be consumed unless of course you like extremely salty foods. AFTER the roast has rested for 15 mins. Lightly scrape the salt away but not so much that you remove all the seasonings

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 5h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 prime rib roast (size doesn't matter)
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup rosemary
1/4 cup horseradish powder
1/4 cup garlic powder
1/8 cup cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine seasonings, and rub into roast.
  • Let sit while oven preheats to 375.
  • Place roast in broiling pan, fat side up or bone side up.
  • Bake for 45 minutes.
  • Turn oven off, DO NOT OPEN OVEN.
  • One hour before serving, turn oven back on 45 minutes.
  • Take rib out, LET STAND FOR 15 MINUTES.
  • This is VERY important, it allows the juices to distribute.
  • Do not carve "ahead of time", either. Scrape off the salt "shell." The meat directly underneath that will be very salty, but that's usually the fatty part that no one eats, anyways. The rest of it will be fine, I PROMISE!
  • Serve with au jus and horseradish sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a quality cut of prime rib. Look for a roast that is well-marbled with fat and has a good amount of bone-in.
  • Season the roast generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
  • Roast the prime rib at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to ensure that the meat is cooked evenly and tender.
  • Let the prime rib rest before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more flavorful.
  • Serve the prime rib with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or Yorkshire pudding.

Conclusion:

Prime rib is a classic Christmas dinner dish that is sure to impress your guests. With its rich flavor and tender texture, it is a meal that everyone will enjoy. If you follow the tips in this article, you can be sure to cook a perfect prime rib that will be the star of your holiday feast.
