Best 5 Special Occasion Scrumptious Prime Rib Recipes

SPECIAL OCCASION SCRUMPTIOUS PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Remove roast from fridge and let stand at room temp for one hour before cooking. Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Slice 16 small slits with sharp knife throughout roast. Slice 16 small slivers of garlic. Carefully insert garlic slivers in slits, squeezing meat together after placing garlic slivers. Combine salt and pepper to taste and rub roast with mixture.
• Place on rack in roasting pan, fat side up. NEVER ADD WATER OR ANY LIQUID. Place in 500°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until meat is well-browned. Reduce heat quickly to moderate (325°F) for reminder of roasting time.
• In reckoning roasting time, include searing period. COOKING TIME: RARE to MED-RARE: 18 minutes per pound (this will turn out rare; leave roast in for a few more minutes for med-rare); MEDIUM: 22 minutes per pound: WELL-DONE: 27 minutes per pound.
• Remove from oven and cover loosely with foil. Allow to stand for a full 15 minutes to allow juices to settle. Carve and serve.
• NOTE: IF YOU COOK THIS ROAST IN A CONFECTION OVEN, BE SURE AND SKIP THE SEARING PROCESS (20-25 MINUTES OF HIGH OVEN TEMP OF 500°F), AS IT WILL OVERCOOK THE MEAT.

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.

DELICIOUS AND EASY PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Slice several slits into the top of prime rib; push garlic cloves into slits. Coat prime rib with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange rosemary sprigs and thyme sprigs atop prime rib and place in a roasting pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned on the outside and pink in the center, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 125 degrees F (52 degrees C). Allow prime rib to rest 15 minutes before slicing.

CHEF JOHN'S PERFECT PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Place rib roast on a plate and bring to room temperature, about 4 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Combine butter, pepper, and herbes de Provence in a bowl; mix until well blended. Spread butter mixture evenly over entire roast. Season roast generously with kosher salt.
• Roast the 4-pound prime rib (see footnote if using a larger and smaller roast) in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and, leaving the roast in the oven with the door closed, let the roast sit in the oven for 2 hours. Remove roast from the oven, slice, and serve.

PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Place oven rack on lower level. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rub roast all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to heavy 13-by-16-inch metal roasting pan. Arrange fat-side up. Place short ribs in pan.
• Cook 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees, and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thick end of roast (not touching a bone) reaches 115 degrees, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. If it hasn't, return it to oven; check temperature at 10-minute intervals.
• Transfer roast to platter; set aside in warm spot for juices to collect. (As roast rests, temperature will increase about 10 degrees.) Do not tent, or crust will get soggy. The short ribs can be eaten as a snack, or reserved to make flavorful soups.
• Pour fat and all dark drippings out of pan into a fat separator; set aside.
• Place roasting pan over medium-high heat. Pour red wine into pan; scrape bottom with wooden spoon, scooping up crispy bits to deglaze pan. Add the drippings that have settled to the bottom of the fat separator, making sure not to add the fat. Cook until reduced by half, 5 to 8 minutes. Place a fine sieve in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour juices into strainer. Using a wooden spoon, press down on solids to extract juices. Discard solids. Serve the juices warm with the prime rib.
