how do i cook a prime rib?

Question

the roast is six pounds

Answer 1

This is fool proof.

Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Rub roast with House Seasoning; place roast on a rack in the pan with the rib side down and the fatty side up.
Roast for 1 hour. Turn off oven. Leave roast in oven but do not open oven door for 3 hours.
About 30 to 40 minutes before serving time, turn oven to 375°F and reheat the roast. Important: Do not remove roast or re-open the oven door from time roast is put in until ready to serve.
Cover with foil and let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
Note: I learned from a chef a trick for satisfying everyone with prime rib. Cook it rare. If anyone wants it done medium, dip their slice in a pot of simmering au jus for 1 minute.
I use this method every Christmas m,y family always makes sure we are not having anything else. Turkey is for Thanksgiving. Lol

Answer 2

This cooking method will result in a roast that tastes like the best "prime" you ever had. It is probably not a "prime" rib, is it? It is really hard to buy prime unless you are a restaurant.

1. No matter -- these directions from Alton Brown will result in the best most tender "prime" rib roast you and your guests ever had.

2. You will need a digital thermometer with a probe to insert into the center of the roast. You absolutely must have a digital thermometer so that you do not over cook it.

3. Rub the roast with canola oil, and rub with kosher salt on all the surfaces.

4. Preheat the oven to 250, and then set the oven for 200 and insert the probe in the roast and set the temp alarm for 118, and put the roast in the oven.

5. When it reaches 118, take it out of the oven. Let the roast rest covered in foil until the internal temp reaches 130. Don't worry, it will get there. This will result in very tender beef.

6. In the meantime, set the oven temp to 500. After internal temp reaches 130, put roast back in the oven for 10 minutes or until the desired crust.

7. De-glaze the roasting juices in a cup of water and cup of wine, crumble a sage leaf into it and reduce the liquid by half over heat, to serve with the roast.

8. Keep roast covered in foil on the cutting board until ready to serve.

I like a little horseradish with it. You can mix it with some whipped cream or mayonnaise.

Yum!

Answer 3

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the roast (since this is one of the finest ones available), in a greased roast pan. You can stuff garlic cloves throughout the roast, salt and pepper to taste.

Standing the roast up, put it in the preheated oven (without a cover) for 30-35 minutes so that it sears. After this time, reduce heat to 400 degrees and cook until it reaches the state you wish. I tend to add quartered cooking onions at this point into the roast pan. Do not cover.

Once it has reached the desired state (rare/medium rare/well done - you will need to use a fork and knife into the side of the roast to determine it's colour), remove and cover. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting. The roast will continue to cook even though it has been removed from the oven.

I hope this helps. Enjoy!!

Answer 4

I would heat my oven to about 400F. Rub the meat with some olive oil or spray it with Pam. Salt and Pepper it very well. Brown on all sides in hot oil on top of the stove and be ready to transfer to your hot, preheated oven. Use a pan with the lowest sides you have, so the meat roasts evenly. If you don't have a rack, use celery and carrots to elevate it.

Roast it on high heat -400 ish- for about 20 minutes then turn down the heat to 325. Let it roast there for about 40 mins more at the lower temp. Turn off the oven, cover it with tinfoil and do not disturb for 10-15 mins. If your roast is bone in that should make it med rare.

Bon Appetit.

First i would brown it,sauteing it in onions on the stove,then i would put it in a roasting pan add more onions and add a little water just enough to cover the bottom and cover the pan with aluminum foil, cook it for about 1 hour then add carrots,and potatoes let it cook for another 90 mins and check it, it should be done.Be sure to season the roast before putting in the oven Set your oven at 350 degrees.
