I get it, prime rib roasts are expense. Cooking them is surprisingly easy, it just requires the right method, and some temperature monitoring, and you'll be well on your way to having a perfect Holiday (or any time) Rib Roast.


INGREDIENTS:

  • 10-12 pound bone-in rib roast (you can go smaller if you want)

  • 3 tablespoons kosher salt (25g) salt

  • fresh ground pepper to taste

Roasting:

  • 8 sprigs rosemary

  • 1 large bunch thyme

  • 5 bay leaves

  • 2 bulbs garlic sliced in half

  • 2-2inch pieces lemon zest

  • splash of olive oil

Rub:

  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped

  • 2 sprigs worth rosemary leaves finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon (15g) whole grain mustard

  • 3.5 tablespoons (50ml) olive oil

INGREDIENTS:

  1. Generously season your rib roast with salt and pepper, place it on a wire rack and let it sit in the fridge uncovered for 24-48 hours.

  2. Pull your roast from the fridge and let it rest 2-3 hours at room temp before roasting to get the chill of your meat.

  3. Preheat oven to 250F (120 celsius)

  4. Arrange all the ingredients for for roasting in the bottom of a roasting tray, and drizzle lightly with olive oil.

  5. Mix all ingredients together for your rub and rub all over the entire piece of meat. Place your meat on top of your bed of aromatics.

  6. Place in your preheated oven until an instant read thermometer placed in the thickest part of the meat registers 118Fahreheit or 47 celsius. Remove from oven to rest for at least 30 minutes.

  7. While resting crank oven temp to 500 fahrenheit (200 celsius)

  8. After resting place your beef back into the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes till golden brown.

  9. Slice and serve

Any advice on cooking time for 2 roasts (each is approximately 10.5lbs - bone-in) in one oven. Yes, I will use a thermometer but I'm trying to time it the best I can to get it on the table at an exact time. I realize the variable time I will have with resting it 30-90 minutes before the 500 degree fifteen minute sear at the end. Just hoping others have experience with the total cooking time?

I made it twice and I am making it again this Christmas for the third time. This is my favorite.

What’s the point of the lemon and bay leaves in the pan? Are these drippings to be used elsewhere? I get the garlic, EVOO, rosemary and thyme, because they are aromatics and oil to avoid just drying the herbs. Perhaps somebody out there has a nice use for the pan drippings. Gravy, perhaps?

Along with the herbs, the lemon and bay leaves are aromatics used to infuse the beef with flavor. If there’s enough drippings at the end you could remove it all and deglaze with beef broth to make an au jus . Other than that, I haven’t found another use for the herbs except to maybe try and use them in some sort of “roasted” chimichurri sauce.

He describes two methods in the video, one starting at high heat and then turning it down, which he doesn't recommend, and another where he starts at low heat and sears at the end, as described here.

Go check out Bearded Butchers. They may have something, but generally you are gonna get best results from store-bought kits.
