COOKING THE BEST PRIME RIB RECIPES

Steps:

• Remove the roast from the refrigerator 2 or 3 hours before cooking.
• Preheat oven to 450.
• Rub butter on the cut ends of the roast.
• Combine flour, salt and pepper together in a small bowl, and then massage the mixture all over the meat.
• Set the roast, rib side down, in a shallow roasting pan (the ribs act as a natural rack), and place in the oven. Roast for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, or until the roast is nicely darkened. Reduce oven to 350 and continue to roast, basting every 15 or 20 minutes, until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees (for medium-rare) on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes before carving into either huge slabs or off the bone entirely and then thin slices.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place diced potato and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Cover with water, place over medium heat, and simmer until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until tender. Add rosemary and parsley, remove from heat, and set aside.
• Place diced potatoes in a large bowl; roughly mash about half the potatoes with a fork or back of a spoon. (If you have leftover mashed potatoes available, you could use 1/4 cup here and reduce diced potatoes to 1 cup.) Add onion mixture, meat, ketchup and Tabasco.
• Place an 8-inch nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Coat bottom with 1 tablespoon oil and add meat mixture, patting top and edges to make a compact patty. Allow to cook until browned underneath, 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer pan to oven to cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place another small skillet over medium heat. Fry or poach eggs as desired; remove from heat and keep warm.
• To serve, invert hash onto a warmed serving platter. Top with fried or poached eggs, and garnish with chives. Serve immediately.
