ROAST A 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:

• Thirty minutes before roasting the prime rib, remove from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make small slits all over the prime rib and fill each slit with a slice of the garlic. Season liberally with the salt and coarse pepper, place on a rack set inside a roasting pan and roast for about 2 hours until medium-rare, or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 135 degrees F. Remove the meat to a platter, and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over 2 burners set on high heat. Add the wine to the pan drippings in the pan and cook over high heat until reduced, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the stock and cook until reduced by half. Whisk in the thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Slice meat as desired and serve with thyme au jus.
