Easy Prime Rib Or Rib Eye Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Crush peppercorns in a bag using a rolling pin, or use the whirry thing to crush them up. A bullet blender is my favorite little whirry thing, but any food processor or spice/coffee grinder will work. Chop the rosemary and thyme. Mix salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme to blend. The salt and pepper are necessary, the other spices are optional. Don't be afraid to change the mixture to suit your personal taste. Less is more with added spices.
• Roll the roast in the spice mixture to coat completely. Use more pepper and salt if needed to coat completely.
• Wrap in aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet and refrigerate overnight or for at least 12 hours. I did 18 hours, the time is approximate. In my research, I also found that covering the roast while it marinates is negotiable.
• Remove from refrigerator and let sit unwrapped on the counter for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for more even cooking and is necessary.
• Preheat oven or roaster to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the roasting rack during this time. My turkey rack was perfect.
• Cook uncovered on a roasting rack for 25 minutes per pound for medium rare to a temperature of 125 to 130. 30 minutes for a firm medium at 135-140 degrees. Any higher temperature will produce a grey, well done interior, not a good thing. No peeking! Check the temperature with an instant read digital thermometer (cheap, quick and accurate) inserted to the center of the roast an hour before time is up, then maybe one more time a half hour later. The temperature is most important for a great roast, not the cooking time.
• Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for at least 30 minutes. This is your variable time, it can rest up to 2 hours, about an hour is optimal. This step is critical as the juices inside the meat are distributed and absorbed while resting. If cut at this time, the juices will drain, the meat will be exceptionally dry and lose a lot of flavor.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. 450 works almost as well if you are cooking something else at the same time. Roast for 8-10 minutes to brown the top. This step is only to brown the top, not for additional cooking and will not affect the interior temperature of the roast.
• It is possible to slice immediately without losing the juices. Either slice at the table or just before serving.

Steps:

• Mix garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Pat garlic mixture over entire roast. Make an incision down the middle of the roast, keeping parallel with the bones. Place the roast in a plastic roasting bag and pour Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce into the bag, concentrating on the incision in the roast. Tie the bag and refrigerate roast to marinate, turning often, at least 2 hours.
• Remove roast from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours. Remove roast from bag and discard marinade. Place roast, fat-side up, in a roasting pan.
• Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue cooking until an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour. Let roast stand for 20 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Beat butter and garlic together in a bowl. Poke several holes in roast with a sharp knife. Rub butter mixture all over roast and season meat with salt and black pepper. Place roast, fat-side up, in a roasting pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and continue cooking until roast is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to low position and preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a large roasting pan over 2 burners set at medium-high heat. Place roast in hot pan and sear on all sides until nicely browned and about 1/2 cup of fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove roast from pan. Set a wire rack in pan; set roast on rack. Generously season meat with salt and pepper.
• Place roast in oven and roast until a meat thermometer registers 130 degrees for medium-rare, about 3 1/2 hours. If roast is done sooner than you expect, simply turn oven as low as possible (preferably 150 to 170 degrees F) and let stand until ready to serve.
• Transfer roast to a cutting board, with rib bones perpendicular to board. Using a carving fork to hold roast in place, cut along rib bones to sever meat from bones. Set roast cut side down and carve meat across grain into 3/4 to 1-inch-thick slices. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F. Season roast with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan or baking dish. Do not cover or add water. Place in preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 475°F. Roast 21 minutes (seven minutes per pound) then turn off the oven and let the roast sit in the hot oven for 2 1/2 hours. Do not open the door at all during this time! Remove roast from the oven; the internal temperature should have reached at least 145°F. Carve into thin slices to serve.

Steps:

• 1. Let the roast rest at room temperature for 3 hours, this will ensure even cooking and help you estimate the cooking time better.
• 2. I cut the ribs away from the roast and tie them back with cooking string. This makes it easier to cut when it's done but you do not need to do this.
• 3. Place the roast in a shallow pan, you do not need a rack -- hence "standing rib roast"!
• 4. Generously season the roast with Lawry's Salt, it's the best. You may use salt and ground pepper if you prefer.
• 5. Start at a high heat of 500 degrees for 15 minutes, turn the oven down to a lower temperature of 325 degrees for the remainder of the cooking time. As long as you have the thermometer in the meat, you will not over cook it. If your oven only goes to 450 degrees, that will work fine. Insert the thermometer from the side, it will be easier to find the center without hitting the ribs.
• Allow 13-15 minutes per pound for rare, 15-17 minutes per pound for medium rare. Use the guide below to set your thermometer, this is not a cut of meat to guess when it's done.
• 6. Take the roast out of the oven when the desired temperature is reached. Air on the rare side. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes and it will continue to cook.
• Set the meat thermometer to the following:.
• Rare, 115.
• Medium Rare, 120 (used above)
• Medium, 125.
• Medium Well, 130.
• Let the meat rest for 15-20 minutes before carving to allow the juices to distribute back into the meat.
• If you don't have a meat thermometer, here is another fool proof method. This is called Millie's Method! Cook the roast in a 500 degree oven for 5 minutes per pound (for medium rare) and than shut the oven off and let it cook for 1 full hour. It's very important to not open the oven during this time. Let the meat rest before carving.
