Easy Prime Rib Recipes

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.

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.

EASY "NO PEEK" PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500º.
• Mix seasonings together and pat all over the roast.
• It probably won't stick very well to the fat side but that's ok.
• Put the roast in a Dutch oven, preferably on a small rack to lift it off the bottom of the pot.
• Bone side up (fat side down).
• Place a meat thermometer in the middle of the roast being careful not to get too close to the bone.
• Cover with lid (you need a fairly large Dutch oven so the lid will fit on properly).
• Cook the roast in the oven for 5-6 minutes per pound, then shut off the oven.
• DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR FOR TWO HOURS, UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH!
• ****The 2 hours starts as soon as the roast is put in the oven****.
• After two hours, take it out and check the temperature.
• If it's 140º, it's perfect!
• If it's cooler, put back in oven at 375º until it reaches 140º.
• This procedure will yield a PERFECT MEDIUM RARE PRIME RIB.
• Don't ask how to do medium or well done because cooking prime rib past medium rare is a felony.

EASY PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Mix garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Pat garlic mixture over entire roast. Make an incision down the middle of the roast, keeping parallel with the bones. Place the roast in a plastic roasting bag and pour Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce into the bag, concentrating on the incision in the roast. Tie the bag and refrigerate roast to marinate, turning often, at least 2 hours.
• Remove roast from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours. Remove roast from bag and discard marinade. Place roast, fat-side up, in a roasting pan.
• Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue cooking until an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour. Let roast stand for 20 minutes before slicing.

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.
