Prime Rib Roast of Beef

Roast Prime Rib of Beef

If you follow the simple steps, you will have a perfect Roast Prime Rib of Beef for that special dinner. This recipe will net you rare to medium rare Roast Prime Rib of Beef roast to serve. If you want a more well done roast simply calculate extra minutes in the initial cooking stage and use a meat thermometer.

Step 1

So, my roast is 4.25 lbs. x 6 minutes = 25.5 minutes. I will round down to 25 minutes .

• Ingredients

  1 4.5 pound prime rib roast of beef (2 bones)  Plan on 1-1.25lbs per person

There are no measurements here.  Just generous amounts of the following:

• 2oz Butter at room temperature
• Herbs de Provence
• Fresh cracked pepper
• Kosher salt – a generous amount

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (this MUST be an accurate temp)
2. Put roast, rib side down in roasting pan
3. Mix the pepper and herbs in the butter until well combined.
4. Spread the butter mixture over the entire surface of the prime rib. The more the better.
5. Put the kosher salt over the entire surface of the butter. Be very GENEROUS. Use more than you think you should here. Most of the salt will run off and very little will remain on the meat. I can’t stress the “generous” enough.
6. Put the roast in the 500 degree oven for 30 minutes as outlined in step 1. The time will be according to the size of your roast. After the 30 minutes, simply turn the oven off and walk away from it for 2 hours. Yup, just walk away. Do NOT open the door, fiddle with it or anything else. Pretend the roast does not exist.
7. After 2 hours, remove the roast and LET SIT at least 15 min to allow it to rest before carving!
8. Slice and serve. You can remove the rib bones for easier slicing and it also makes it easier to get 4 generous servings from the roast.
