No Fear Prime Rib Recipes

EASY "NO PEEK" PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500º.
• Mix seasonings together and pat all over the roast.
• It probably won't stick very well to the fat side but that's ok.
• Put the roast in a Dutch oven, preferably on a small rack to lift it off the bottom of the pot.
• Bone side up (fat side down).
• Place a meat thermometer in the middle of the roast being careful not to get too close to the bone.
• Cover with lid (you need a fairly large Dutch oven so the lid will fit on properly).
• Cook the roast in the oven for 5-6 minutes per pound, then shut off the oven.
• DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR FOR TWO HOURS, UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH!
• ****The 2 hours starts as soon as the roast is put in the oven****.
• After two hours, take it out and check the temperature.
• If it's 140º, it's perfect!
• If it's cooler, put back in oven at 375º until it reaches 140º.
• This procedure will yield a PERFECT MEDIUM RARE PRIME RIB.
• Don't ask how to do medium or well done because cooking prime rib past medium rare is a felony.

CHEF JOHN'S PERFECT PRIME RIB

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.

BEST NO-FAIL PRIME RIB (GARLIC HERB CRUST)

Steps:

• Remove the prime rib from the fridge 2-3 hours before cooking, and allow it to come to room temperature.
• Preheat your oven to 450F/230C. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic, salt, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
• After the prime rib has come to room temperature, pat it down with paper towels to make sure it's dry. Then rub the entire outside of the prime rib with the herb butter mixture.
• Place the prime rib in an oven-safe pan or roasting tray with the bones-side down, fat-side up. Place the onion slices in the pan around the meat, if you're making the red wine au jus. If not, you can omit the onions.
• Cook the prime rib in the center of the oven for 20 minutes at 450F. It should get a nice sear on the outside. If not, cook it a few minutes longer. Then reduce the temperature of the oven to 325F and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 120F (about an hour and a half), for medium-rare. But go by temperature, not time, as it will depend on the size of your prime rib and your oven.
• Remove the prime rib from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. You can tent it with aluminum foil to keep it warm. Then, remove the string and bones, and slice it up into thick 1/2" slices.
• After you've removed the fat from the pan, add up to 1/4 cup of drippings back in along with the beef broth and red wine. If you have leftover herbs, you can toss those in as well.
• Simmer this for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half. It's meant to be a thin sauce, but if you'd like to add a little bit of a thickener, you can do that as well. Strain the au jus to remove the onion and any browned bits, then drizzle over the prime rib.

KEN'S FRESH MEATS NO FAIL PRIME RIB RECIPE

Steps:

• Season the roast with your favorite seasoning(s) and re-wrap in butcher paper.
• Let roast set on counter for at least four hours before cooking to obtain room temperature, (it will not spoil if you leave it on counter overnight).
• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place roast in greased pan, uncovered, in oven and cook for 1 hour. (Size of roast makes no difference. Makes no difference if it is a bone-in or boneless roast). However, if it is a bone-in roast, place it in the pan bone-side down.
• Turn oven off (DO NOT PEEK).
• Leave roast in oven (DO NOT PEEK, THIS IS VERY, VERY CRITICAL TO THE PROCESS).
• Oven must be off a MINIMUM of two hours (DO NOT PEEK).
• 45 Minutes before you would like to serve, turn oven back on at 375 degrees.
• Roast will be medium to medium rare. If you want your roast a little more rare or a little more well-done adjust one hour cooking time by five minutes accordingly.
• Enjoy!

NO-FEAR PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Poke garlic pieces into the fat by cutting small slits into the fat with a sharp knife. Spread the cloves out over the whole fatty surface.
• Meanwhile, mix a rub of the seasoned salt and pepper. Rub over the entire surface of the roast. Place rib-side down into a roaster and bake for 30 minutes. The high heat seals the meat and keeps the juices in place.
• Lower temp to 350 and continue to bake for 1-2 hrs depending on desired meat preference when done. A meat thermometer is key! Rare = 125-130. Medium = 135-140. Well done = forget about it... the meat is never as good!
• Set meat on platter as you prepare the au jus. Strain off fat. Reserve juice and bits. Pour in broth; bring to a boil. Keep warm as you slice the roast. (Be prepared, the juices will pour out! Yummy!) Serve each piece with a generous spoon of au jus.
