Thelmas Standing Rib Roast No Peek Recipes

STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a small bowl combine the cayenne, rosemary, and garlic. Add enough olive oil until it becomes a loose paste. Schmear the roast with the rosemary-garlic paste and really massage it into the meat. Season generously with kosher salt.
• Put the onions, baby carrots, celery and mushrooms in the bottom of a roasting pan. Toss with a little olive oil and salt, to taste. Add the wine, 1 cup of chicken stock and the bay leaves. Put the roast on top of the veggies and put into the preheated oven until the roast is really brown and lovely, about 25 to 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F for another 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Occasionally during the cooking time, spoon some of the juices over the meat. If the liquid level in the pan goes down too much, add the remaining 1 cup of stock. It also would be a great idea to rotate the roasting pan about halfway through the cooking process.
• Check the temperature of the meat by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the center of the roast. For medium-rare it should be 125 degrees F and 130 for medium. Remove the roast from the oven to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
• Taste the veggies in the pan juices and season with salt, to taste, if needed. Skim off any excess fat.
• Slice the roast and arrange on a serving platter. Serve with the veggies and the pan juices.

STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Remove any excess fat from the roast, leaving a thin layer. In a small bowl, combine dry mustard, sugar, and Dijon mustard. Brush mixture over the fat and cut surfaces of the roast. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Set the roast, rib-side down, in a heavy, shallow roasting pan. (The ribs act as a natural rack.) Using a paring knife, score the fat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast, basting every 15 minutes, until it reaches a temperature of 125 degrees for medium rare on an instant-read thermometer. Remove roast to a platter. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the roasting pan. Set pan on stove over medium heat. Simmer until juices begin to darken, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook, scraping up caramelized bits, until flour is deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil, stirring until thickened. It should very lightly coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Strain gravy and serve with potatoes, brussels sprouts, and horseradish sauce.

NO-FUSS BEEF ROAST

Steps:

• Combine the first four ingredients; rub over roast. Place roast, fat side up, in a roasting pan. Dot with butter. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-3/4 to 3 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Let stand for 10-15 minutes before carving. Thicken pan drippings for gravy if desired.

EASY STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
• Brush rib roast lightly with olive oil. Rub sea salt, black pepper, and garlic into the roast. Place fatty-side up on a rack set inside a shallow pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and tent pan with aluminum foil. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the rib roast registers 140 degrees (60 degrees C), about 1 hour.
• Let rib roast stand for 10 to 20 minutes before carving.

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.

STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, make small slits in the fat. Remove the meat from the bone (or have your butcher do it for you, reserving the bone). Season well with salt and pepper. Squeeze over the juice of the lemon to prevent fat flare-ups. Tie the bones to the meat with butcher's twine. Place 2 to 3 cabbage leaves on the meat side of the roast. Tie the leaves on the roast with butcher's twine in several places to secure the leaves and prevent the meat from burning. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill, arranging the coals for indirect cooking. Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable oil spray. The coals should be moderately hot to hot. Sear the meat over intense heat on the bone side and the narrow sides for 1 or 2 minutes per side. Sear the meaty side (top) for about 3 minutes. When turning the meat, use tongs or other utensils to avoid piercing the meat more than necessary to keep as much moisture inside the roast as you can. Transfer the roast, bone-side down, to the cooler part of the grill. Cover the grill and cook for 25 minutes, then baste and turn the roast, cooking for another 15 minutes. Remove the cabbage leaves after about 40 to 45 minutes. Continue grilling, turning and basting occasionally with beer, for a total of 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes for rare. After 1 hour, begin checking the meat by inserting and instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, taking care not to insert the thermometer too close to a bone. When the thermometer registers 135 to 140 degrees F, remove the meat from the grill, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carving.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling and hot, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the wine, salt, pepper, garlic, butter, parsley, mushrooms and demi-glace. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are tender and the sauce is thick and reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Yield: about 1 1/2 cups

STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Tie roast to ribs with butcher's string. Leave in a refrigerator, uncovered, for 8 hours or overnight to dry.
• Remove roast from the refrigerator 4 to 6 hours prior to roasting.
• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Place a layer of onion and celery in the bottom of a roasting pan. Generously coat all sides of the roast with spice rub and place on top of onion and celery in the roasting pan with ribs down. Insert an oven-safe thermometer into the center of the roast.
• Roast on the lower rack of the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) and roast for 20 more minutes.
• Remove roast to a cutting board and tent with foil until the internal temperature reaches 135 to 140 degrees F (54 to 60 degrees C) for medium-rare, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove onion and celery and place in a saucepan. Drain off fat from the roasting pan, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons. Deglaze the roasting pan with wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon; transfer to the saucepan. Add beef stock and beef base. Let simmer to reduce by 1/3 until slightly thickened. Remove onions and celery from saucepan and keep hot. Serve with roast.
