Classic Prime Rib Reverse Sear Recipes

CLASSIC PRIME RIB (REVERSE SEAR)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250F/121C.
• PREPARE ROAST: Pat roast dry with paper towel. Insert garlic slivers into roast all over between meat and fat (separate with fingers and slip in garlic). Leave the fat cap on the top of the meat for great flavor. If using Dijon, smear it all over roast. Season roast liberally with kosher salt and black pepper. Sprinkle on thyme if using. Place roast, bone side down, in shallow pan lined with foil (for easier clean up). If you have a temperature probe, insert it in the center of the roast. If not use an instant-read thermometer.
• START ROASTING AT LOW TEMP: Roast in oven, fat side up, at 250F/121C for about 2 to 2 1/4 hours or until internal temperature reaches 120F/49C for medium rare on instant thermometer (you'll be cooking it longer later on). Or 130F/54.4C for medium. Remove roast, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 30 minutes and up to 90 minutes.
• FINISH ROASTING AT HIGH TEMP: While roast is resting, increase oven temperature to 500F/260C. 10 minutes before you're ready to serve, place roast in hot oven. Roast for 6-10 minutes (or a bit longer if roast is bigger) until exterior browns nicely. Insert meat thermometer to check temperature of meat - it should rise to 130F/54.4C for medium rare. Or 140F/60C for medium measured with an instant-read thermometer. Note 2 for internal temperatures.
• SLICE AND SERVE: On cutting board, turn roast on side and slice off bones. Then turn meat, cut side down, on board and slice. Remove garlic slivers. Serve immediately with gravy or au jus.

REVERSE SEAR PRIME RIB

• In a small mixing bowl, combine salt, basil, pepper, tarragon, garlic onion. Coat rib roast evenly with seasoning blend. Place in a roasting pan fitted with a rack, bone side down.
• Roast 3 hours or until roast reaches 100°F internal temperature.
• Increase the oven temperature to 500°F. Sear for about 15 minutes or until the roast reaches and internal temperature of 115°F. (The oven may not reach the full 500° by the time it is ready to remove.) Remove from oven and rest 20 minutes, tented with foil. Slice and serve, seasoning each slice with additional salt and pepper to taste.

ROASTED AND REVERSE SEARED PRIME RIB RECIPE

Steps:

• Ten minutes before guests are ready to be served, remove foil, place roast back in hot oven, and cook until well-browned and crisp on the exterior, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, carve, and serve immediately.
