Bobby Flay Standing Rib Roast Food

SUNDAY RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Two hours before roasting, remove the meat from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (see Cook's Note).
• Place the oven rack on the second lowest position.
• Place the roast in a pan large enough to hold it comfortably, bone-side down, and spread the top thickly with the salt and pepper. Roast the meat for 45 minutes. Without removing the meat from the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and roast for another 30 minutes. Finally, increase the temperature to 450 degrees F and roast for another 15 to 30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the meat is 125 degrees F. (Be sure the thermometer is exactly in the center of the roast.) The total cooking time will be between 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hours. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
• Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil and allow the meat to rest for 20 minutes. Carve and serve with the sauce.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustards, horseradish, sour cream, and salt in a small bowl.

ROAST PRIME RIB WITH THYME AU JUS

Steps:

• Thirty minutes before roasting the prime rib, remove from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make small slits all over the prime rib and fill each slit with a slice of the garlic. Season liberally with the salt and coarse pepper, place on a rack set inside a roasting pan and roast for about 2 hours until medium-rare, or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 135 degrees F. Remove the meat to a platter, and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over 2 burners set on high heat. Add the wine to the pan drippings in the pan and cook over high heat until reduced, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the stock and cook until reduced by half. Whisk in the thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Slice meat as desired and serve with thyme au jus.

STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven (move the other racks up to make room for the roast). Pat the rib roast dry with paper towels. Using a sharp thin knife, poke slits in the top and sides of the roast and between the ribs; stuff the slits with the garlic slices, poking them into the meat so that they're covered. (Do this 3 or 4 slits at a time so you don't lose track of where you made the cuts.)
• Pulse the peppercorns in a mini food processor or spice grinder to break them up. Add 2 tablespoons salt, the rosemary and thyme and pulse until finely chopped. Pour into a small bowl and stir in the olive oil. Rub all over the top, sides and bottom of the roast (not the bones). Set on a rack in a roasting pan, bone-side down, and let stand at room temperature, 30 to 60 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450˚ F.
• If using a probe thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the roast, about halfway in. Place on the lower oven rack and roast until the meat starts browning and the fat sizzles, about 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325˚ F and continue roasting until the internal temperature registers 130˚ F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more, carefully basting with the drippings every 30 minutes.
• Transfer the rack with the roast to a rimmed baking sheet or large cutting board and let rest 30 to 40 minutes. Carve off the bones in one piece (see right), then slice the meat with a sharp carving knife.
