Every once in awhile, my husband and I like to make a "special" Saturday night dinner! Something that if the four of us were going to have it at a restaurant, it would cost us an arm and a leg. Last weekend, it was prime rib! I have to say, my husband has this one down. It is tender and juicy, with just the right amount of seasoning. Served with a side of au jus or some horseradish sauce, some roasted potatoes and grilled scallions, and you have yourself a five star dinner!
Let me show you how easy it is to make at home:
Here's all you need: 3-4 lb bone-in prime rib; garlic, rosemary, extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper. I removed my roast from the refrigerator about 1 hour before prepping it, just so it warms up a bit.
Chop the garlic and rosemary.
Place it in a small glass bowl or ramekin, and cover with extra virgin olive oil.
You don't need a lot of olive oil, maybe 2-3 Tbls. Then just give it a quick stir.
Place prime rib on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper (for easy clean up). As you can see, I also like to place a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet, so that some of the grease can fall through. Then you need to salt all sides of the prime rib (I use Kosher salt).
Next rub the garlic, rosemary and olive oil mixture all over the prime rib, and give each side a couple of grinds of fresh ground pepper.
It's ready for the oven! Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 285 degrees, and continue to cook until the internal temperature when measured with a probe thermometer reaches 125 degrees (ours took about 1 hour - but this will depend on the size of your roast).
Remove from oven, cover with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Temperature after resting will be about 130 degrees (medium rare).
Cut yourself a nice, juicy slab of that baby, and enjoy!
I like mine with au jus, but hubby prefers his with pure horseradish.
