Restaurant Quality Prime Rib Recipes

THE BEST PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Pat the skin of the roast completely dry and place on a cutting board, fat-side up. Use a paring knife to make small slits all over the fat, and then stud the meat with the garlic slices. Sprinkle all over with the salt and pepper, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Unwrap the roast and place fat-side up on a rack set in a roasting pan.
• Roast the meat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 120 degrees F, about 4 hours. Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 hour. The temperature will continue to rise another 10 to 14 degrees as it sits.
• Turn the oven to 500 degrees F. Place the roast back in the oven and bake until the fatty skin starts to crisp up and turn golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let rest another 30 minutes before transferring to a cutting board for slicing.

BEST RESTAURANT-STYLE PRIME RIB ROAST EVER!

Steps:

• 1. Follow to a TEE: Combine seasonings, and rub into roast. Keep patting on til all is used. Sprinkle any on that is left over top. (Fatty side). Let sit while oven preheats to 375. Place roast in broiling pan or roaster lined with foil and sprayed with butter flavored vegetable spray, fat side up. Bake for 45 minutes. Turn oven off, DO NOT OPEN OVEN. Stick a note on the door as a reminder if you have to, I do! ;) One hour before serving, turn oven back on and set timer for 45 minutes. Take rib out, LET STAND FOR 15 MINUTES. This is VERY important, it allows the juices to redistribute. (*Do not carve "ahead of time", either.) Scrape off the salt "shell" leaving on some of the seasonings. (The salt shell that forms during cooking is what seals in the juices and moisture and is not intended to be eaten.) The meat directly underneath that will be a little salty, but that's usually the fatty part that no one eats, anyways. The rest of it will be fine. PROMISE! While outside is still hot/warm, spread butter all over outside of roast and let melt. Serve with au jus and sour cream horseradish sauce. *When serving, slice into thick, about 1"+, "restaurant-cut" slices (in from the ends.) *The "inbetween time" for me is always 1 1/2-2 hours. *Tip: I like to serve these with twice-baked potatoes and put them in with the roast during the second baking. Also steamed and buttered asparagus, my pineapple dressing, warm rolls or french bread and salad or soup. Small bowls or large cups of french onion goes well with this. (Smother with cheese!) And of course French Silk Chocolate Pie or cheesecake for dessert. Great for company, Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, business dinners, birthdays and anniversaries!

PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Place oven rack on lower level. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rub roast all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to heavy 13-by-16-inch metal roasting pan. Arrange fat-side up. Place short ribs in pan.
• Cook 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees, and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thick end of roast (not touching a bone) reaches 115 degrees, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. If it hasn't, return it to oven; check temperature at 10-minute intervals.
• Transfer roast to platter; set aside in warm spot for juices to collect. (As roast rests, temperature will increase about 10 degrees.) Do not tent, or crust will get soggy. The short ribs can be eaten as a snack, or reserved to make flavorful soups.
• Pour fat and all dark drippings out of pan into a fat separator; set aside.
• Place roasting pan over medium-high heat. Pour red wine into pan; scrape bottom with wooden spoon, scooping up crispy bits to deglaze pan. Add the drippings that have settled to the bottom of the fat separator, making sure not to add the fat. Cook until reduced by half, 5 to 8 minutes. Place a fine sieve in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour juices into strainer. Using a wooden spoon, press down on solids to extract juices. Discard solids. Serve the juices warm with the prime rib.
