Prime Rib The True Prime Rib Food

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.

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 (THE TRUE PRIME RIB)

Steps:

• When ordering the rib roast from a butcher, be sure to request a Top Choice roast cut from the small loin end, the best being ribs 12 through 10.
• Have the butcher cut off the chine/backbone.
• The rib bones look best if they are shortened and frenched.
• Have the butcher do this for you as well.
• Place the roast in the refrigerator a couple of days ahead of time.
• Set the roast at room temperature for 1 hour prior to cooking.
• Evenly salt and pepper the roast.
• Cover the bottom of a roasting pan with the olive oil and set on medium-high heat about 4 minutes until very hot.
• Place roast in hot roasting pan and sear on all sides until nicely browned and about 1/2 cup of fat has rendered, which should take a total of about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove roast from pan and set a wire rack in pan, and then set roast onto rack.
• Pour water over the roast and then pour the wine over the roast.
• Cut the 6 cloves of garlic in half lengthwise and with a small knife cut small slits into the top of the roast and insert the garlic clove halves into the roast.
• Generously season again with salt and pepper and then sprinkle with rest of the seasonings evenly.
• Place roast (uncovered) in the middle of the oven that has been pre-heated to 325 degrees (for medium-rare) and roast for 2 to 3 hours, or until internal temperature of the meat reaches 130 to 135 degrees for medium-rare.
• Remove roast from oven and tent with aluminum foil.
• Let stand for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute themselves evenly throughout the roast.
• Set the roast on a cutting board and carve immediately next to each side of each bone.
• Every other slice will have a rib bone and every other slice will not have any bone at all.
• Serve immediately.
• Place all of the juices into a gravy boat with a 1/2 pinch of sugar to serve as the au jus.
• The au jus can be used as a gravy or placed into individual small dipping containers.

THE ULTIMATE, PRIME RIB

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 500.
• 2. When purchasing a roast, purchase one rib per person if you're having "MEAT DAY". If your serving it with sides, you should probably have about 3/4 pound per person. Be sure to ask your guests how big they want their piece when you cut it. I don't usually serve it with the bone (it takes up too much room on the plate.
• 3. Prepare the Roast by inserting slivers of Garlic all around, oil, then rub lots of Salt, Pepper, and Blacken into the meat, lay the sliced onions on top after you have placed it on a rack in a baking dish. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat in such a way that you will be able to see it through the window in the door without having to open it.
• 4. Place the meat in the oven for 20 minutes then turn down to 275 deg., without opening the door. Cook an additional 1 3/4 hours or until the meat thermometer reads 110 - 120 degrees, 110 degrees will give you a rare roast, pictured, and 120 degrees will end up med rare. If you like well done meat, don't waste your money on a prime rib, purchase a chuck or a top round and make a pot roast out of it.
• Cooking time should not change because you have a larger piece of meat, because, although the meat will be longer, the diameter will usually remain about the same. This timing works good for a roast that is 6" - 7" in diameter.
• 5. This temperature (120 degrees) makes for a medium rare roast. Remember, don't cook it rare because it'll be quite tough.
• 6. Take the roast out of the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes loosely covered with alum. foil; this allows the roast to finish cooking and the juices to re-distribute. Don't worry about letting it rest too long because there isn't such a thing with Prime Rib (it's usually served at room temperature). Letting it rest, covered, lets it finish cooking. If you leave the thermometer in, you'll notice that it will actually go up about 10 degrees. If you wish to make gravy (sauce), you can set the meat on a separate platter, cover with aluminum foil, and use the pan drippings for the base of a sauce.
• 7. If you don't have a rack to place the meat on, you can use rough cut carrots and onions. Make sure you spray some Pam on the pan prior to putting the vegetables inches Later, you can place these vegetables into the pot you're making the gravy in, and grind them up with an immersion blender to become part of the gravy / sauce.

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.
