Perfect Prime Ribatk Food

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.

KITTENCAL'S PERFECT PRIME RIB ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Using a knife, poke small holes all over uncooked roast, and insert a half of a clove of fresh garlic in the hole (as many holes and as much garlic as desired).
• Cover roast, and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, remove the roast from fridge and uncover; let sit out at room temperature for about 2 to 2-1/2 hours (this is an important step to relax the meat fibers, it will make for a more tender juicy roast, the length of counter-time will depend on the size of your roast).
• Set oven to 450°F and allow the oven to preheat for a minimum of 15 minutes.
• Season the roast with only a small amount of salt but lots of fresh ground black pepper pepper (that's all nothing else but a little salt and fresh ground black pepper, using any other spices will take away the flavor from the prime rib!).
• Place the roast fat-side up on a rack in a shallow-sided pan, then insert a meat thermometer in the middle of the roast but not touching any rib bones.
• Roast uncovered at 450°F for 20 minutes (a few more minutes won't hurt at 450°F).
• After 20 minutes of high heat cooking reduce heat to 350°F and continue to roast for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes OR until the meat thermometer reads 130°F for rare doneness OR 140°F for medium-rare doneness, that is the way a prime rib really should be served, check your roast after 1 hour cooking time.
• *NOTE* It is strongly advised to remove the roast slightly before desired degree of doneness is achieved as the roast will continue to rise in temperature several degrees after removing from the oven.
• Remove meat to a carving board.
• Cover loosely with foil and allow let rest (DO NOT CUT INTO ROAST for at least 20 or more minutes or all juices in the meat will flow out).
• While the roast is resting prepare the au jus; place the roasting pan on top of the stove over high heat.
• Add in the wine; cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring and scraping any brown bits.
• Add in the beef stock; cook and reduce the juice by half (this might take about 20 minutes).
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Slice roast (just before serving!) and drizzle with some of the juice.
• *NOTE* if desired you can cover the roast loosely with foil the first hour and then uncover and cook for the remaining time.
• --------------------------------------------.
• APPROXIMATE COOKING TIMES for the prime rib cooked at 350°F after the 20 minute cooking time at 450°F.
• Rare; cook 12-13 minutes per pound or to 130°F.
• Medium-rare; cook 14-16 minutes per pound or to 140°F (I would not recommend cooking a prime rib any more than medium-rare).
• Since every oven cooks differently cooking times are only approximate.
• SUGGESTED SERVING PORTIONS PER PERSON ----for a generous serving of prime rib roast you should figure on 2 people per rib, that means if you plan to serve 6 people you should be able to do so with 3 ribs/ eight people with 4 ribs/ do not bother with less than 3 ribs anything less than that is not a roast but rather a steak and would be better treated as such.

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.

PERFECT HOLIDAY PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Allow the roast to sit at room temperature for an hour. Adjust oven rack to low position and heat the oven to 200 degrees.
• On the stove top, heat a large roasting pan (not glass) over two burners set at medium-high heat. Place roast in hot pan (do not grease pan) and cook on all sides until nicely browned and about a half cup of fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes (or longer).
• Remove roast from pan. Set wire rack in pan and then set roast on rack. Generously season with salt and pepper.
• Place roast in oven; do not cover it and do not add water to the pan. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer so the tip is centered in the thickest part of the beef, not resting in fat or touching bone. Roast until meat registers 130 degrees (medium) rare) on meat thermometer, about 3 1/2 hours (or about 30 minutes per pound). If you want it medium, roast to 145 to 155 degrees. Remember that the roast's temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees after it comes out of the oven.
• Slices at the ends of the roast will be the most done, and slices in the middle will be more rare.
• Transfer roast to a carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 20 minutes or longer before carving and serving with the pan drippings.
• A sharp knife is a must for carving. For uniform slices, hold the knife at the same angle for each cut. The more tender the roast, the thicker the slices can be.
• Variation: Also good with a rub of olive oil, chopped fresh thyme, minced garlic, and freshly grated lemon peel along with a generous dousing of salt and pepper.

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.
• Tip*.
• Your cooking times will vary depending on the size of your prime rib roast. To calculate your cooking time, multiply the exact weight of the roast by 5. Round the resulting number to the nearest whole number. The rib is cooked at 500 degrees F for exactly that many minutes. For example, for a 6 pound roast: 6x5=30, so cooking time is 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and wait 2 hours before opening the oven door. Remove the prime rib and slice into the most perfectly medium-rare meat you've ever see.

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.

PERFECT MEDIUM RARE PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Pat the rib roast dry with a paper towel or napkin.
• Smear the cut ends of the roast with the butter. Place the roast (ribs down or fat side up) in roasting pan.
• Sear the rib roast for 15 minutes at 450°F, then turn the oven to 325°F for the rest of the cooking time. Every 1/2 hour, baste the cut ends of the roast with the fat accumulated in the roasting pan.
• Cook until rib roast reaches an internal temperature of 120°F Remove from oven, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let sit approximately 20 minutes. The roast will continue to cook as it sits. Serve when the internal temperature reaches 130°F.

PERFECTLY JUICE PRIME RIB

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.
