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.

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.

THE BEST PRIME RIB EVER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Place prime rib in a roasting pan, fat-side up.
• Blend olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary together in a food processor. Pour over the roast. Let sit at room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Cook until medium-rare or an instant-read thermometer reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 60 to 75 minutes more.

PERFECT PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Remove meat from refrigerator 30 min. before ready to roast. Heat oven to 500°F. Use boning knife to remove rack of rib bones, in one large piece, from meat, carefully cutting along edges of meat to remove the bones.
• Place rack of bones on center of foil-covered rimmed baking sheet. Combine salt and 1-1/2 tsp. pepper; sprinkle onto meat. Place meat, cut side down, on bones. Roast 20 min.
• Remove meat from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Mix mayo, garlic, rosemary and mustard until blended; spread onto meat. Sprinkle with bread crumbs; press crumbs gently into mayo mixture to secure.
• Roast meat an additional 1-1/2 hours to 1 hour 40 min. or until meat registers at 135°F for medium-rare doneness (or 145°F for medium doneness) when meat thermometer is inserted into thickest part of meat.
• Remove meat from oven; cover loosely with foil. Let stand 15 min. (Temperature of meat will continue to rise 5°F to 10°F as it stands.) Meanwhile, cook mushrooms and shallots in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat 8 to 10 min. or until mushrooms are golden brown, stirring occasionally. Deglaze skillet with wine; cook 3 to 4 min. or until most of the wine is evaporated. Add beef broth, gravy and remaining pepper; stir. Cook and stir 2 to 3 to min. or until heated through.
• Cut meat into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Serve with the mushroom gravy.

RESTAURANT-STYLE PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Remove prime rib from refrigerator and allow the meat to come to room temperature, about 3 hours depending on the size of the roast.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
• Unwrap the roast and place onto roasting pan; blot with paper towels. Sift together flour, pepper, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and celery seed into a small bowl. Coat the roast all over with the flour mixture.
• Roast in preheated oven until cooked to your desired degree of doneness; about 4 1/2 hours (20 minutes a pound) for medium-rare. Roast to an internal temperature of 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) for medium-rare; 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium; or 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for well done.
• When the roast has finished cooking, take it out of the oven, and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to rest in a warm spot for 30 minutes to 1 hour before slicing.

SUE'S PERFECT PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Combine garlic and herbs, then rub the mixture evenly over the surface of the meat.
• Roasting:
• Because rib cuts are more tender, dry heat roasting (no cover and no added liquid) is preferred. Moist heat is used to tenderize tougher cuts of meat, but may also result in greater shrinkage and drier meat.
• Place meat on a cooking rack, fat side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Do not place meat in a cooking bag, nor place a cover of any kind over the meat.
• Roast at 350, for 18-24 minutes per pound. Medium-rare (145 degrees final internal temperature), medium (155 degrees internal temperature), and well-done (165 degrees internal temperature).
• Note:.
• Over cooking meat will dry it out, and toughen it.
• Internal temperature of meat will continue to raise 5 more degrees during standing time.
• Carving:.
• Allow roast to stand 15-20 minutes before carving.
• Proper carving will make meat more tender.
• Slice across the grain of meat.
• Serve with horseradish and au jus, as desired.
• Au Jus:.
• Remove meat from pan, and drain off excess fat.
• Place pan on top of stove, and add onions. Cook and stir over medium heat 3-5 minutes.
• Add broth. Stir until meat juices attached to pan are dissolved.
• Continue to simmer until liquid is reduced to desired strength.
