Prime Rib For Five Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over very high heat. Sear the roast in the skillet until a nice dark golden color, about 10 minutes.
• Put the peppercorns in a bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix the salt, garlic, rosemary, thyme and crushed peppercorns together in a bowl.
• Place the roast on a rack over a roasting pan. Rub with the salt mixture, patting slightly to get it to stick to the meat. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 300 degrees F and roast until a meat thermometer registers 125 degrees F for rare/medium rare, another 20 to 30 minutes (the roast will continue to cook slightly after removing it from the oven). Cover with foil and allow to rest at least 20 minutes before slicing.
• Deglaze the roasting pan by pouring in the consomme, a can of water and a few dashes of Worcestershire. Turn the burner to medium high and scrape up the browned bits in the bottom of the pan. Let cook for a minute or 2, then strain into a saucepan and keep warm. Skim the fat from the jus before serving.
• Carve the roast into thick slices and serve with the jus and Chimichurri Sauce.
• Fill a blender or food processor with the cilantro and parsley leaves. Add the cumin, salt, cayenne, garlic and lime juice. Put the lid on the blender, then remove the center piece. With the blender on low, drizzle in the olive oil. Blend until pureed and somewhat smooth.

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.

Steps:

• Place rib roast on a plate and bring to room temperature, about 4 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Combine butter, pepper, and herbes de Provence in a bowl; mix until well blended. Spread butter mixture evenly over entire roast. Season roast generously with kosher salt.
• Roast the 4-pound prime rib (see footnote if using a larger and smaller roast) in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and, leaving the roast in the oven with the door closed, let the roast sit in the oven for 2 hours. Remove roast from the oven, slice, and serve.
