BEST PRIME RIP RECIPE

Prime rib is an expensive cut… I know it, you know it, BUT it’s worth it. Special occasions, weekend gatherings, parties or cooking for people who appreciate great tasting food. There’s nothing like cutting through a tender roast; the blade slices through the meat as if it were slicing through butter, hitting the crisp golden, buttery, garlic crust first before showing you the pièce de résistance. Hearing the moaning and seeing the sheer excitement from your guests in seeing juicy, red meat on the inside. My kind of people…

A quick, hot blast in the oven for 20-30 minutes creates that golden crust, then low and slow gives you an unbelievably tender and juicy beef roast throughout. It takes longer this way… but it’s worth it.

CHOOSE THE BEST CUT

Prime rib can be sold bone-in or boneless, however a bone-in roast yields the best results if you’re looking forward to guaranteed juicy, succulent meat. Choose a cut with the bones still attached and trimmed (or frenched: bones scraped clean of excess fat and meat). You can also buy a prime rib roast with bones removed and reattached with string if you wish! Bones = a natural roasting rack for the meat.

Buying a good quality cut from your butcher just doesn’t compare to anything found in a supermarket. Yes, they are more expensive BUT they are larger and fresher when compared with supermarket cuts.

To cook our Garlic Butter Prime Rib recipe, you’ll need a 4-bone rib roast weighing around 6 pounds (or 3 kilos).

HOW TO COOK A PRIME RIB

When you invest in a good piece of beef, you don’t need to do much to it. A simple garlic butter mixture cooks onto and into this tender meat, which creates a crispy golden crust on the outside, while the inside stays tender and juicy.

  • Remove your prime rib at least 2-3 hours before cooking to take the chill out. This prevents the roast from over-cooking on the outer edge while being undercooked on the inside.
  • Preheat your oven to get it nice and hot before cooking.
  • Place the roast in a cast iron skillet or roasting pan bone-side down over some garlic halves. The bones create a natural roasting rack for the meat.
  • Slather with garlic butter, rubbing it all over the meat and sides to coat it well and evenly.
  • Roast uncovered first for that char-grilled flavour, and then continue roasting at a reduced heat until your roast is cooked to your liking.

As you can see, the only way we love ours is medium rare. However, you CAN continue roasting to get it to your own liking and preference.

HOW LONG TO COOK A PRIME RIB?

When it comes time to cook your roast, it’s best to buy a digital meat thermometer. Whether you use a removable stick thermometer or a probe that stays in the meat while it roasts, a meat thermometer provides complete accuracy and prevents overcooking.

Cook the roast for 20-30 minutes at 460˚F (240°C) until nicely browned, then reduce your oven temperature to 250°F (120°C). Continue to slow roast for 1 – 1 1/2 hours, basting every 20-30 minutes with the pan juices, until reaching your desired preference.

prime rib temperature

INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF COOKED PRIME RIB:

A prime rib roasts internal temperature will rise while it rests by 5-7°F (or  3-4°C) every 10 to 15 minutes or so. Take out of the oven just before reaching your desired doneness, as the roast will continue to cook as the juices settle:

  • Rare: Remove from oven at 115°F (46°C) internal temp. It will rise to 120°F (49°C) as it rests.
  • Medium Rare: Remove at 48°C / 118°F internal temp. It will rise to 125°F (51.7°C).
  • Medium: Remove at 123°F (51°F) internal temp.  It will rise to 130°F (55°C).
  • Medium Well: Remove at 127°F (53°C) internal temp. It will rise to 135°F (57°C).

For larger roasts, add 10 minutes extra roasting time for each additional 2 pounds (1 kg).

TIP: Start checking the internal temperature after 45 minutes of roasting. Continue to keep checking with each baste to ensure it doesn’t over cook as every oven is different.

When cooked to your liking, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.

red wine jus sauce for prime rib

RED WINE JUS (SAUCE)

Red wine and beef are a classic flavour combination… one we’ve used before in our Roast Beef Tenderloin Recipe. Using the leftover pan drippings from the roast is the best way to get a sauce loaded with flavour!

A red wine jus is easy to make:

  • Beef stock, drippings and red wine are rapidly simmered in the same skillet the beef was roasted in
  • Reduce down into a rich and intense flavoured gravy.

For a thicker sauce, use cornstarch (or cornflour). This is optional though, as red wine jus is usually thin in consistency.

Prime Rib Roast that’s mouthwateringly juicy on the inside, with a buttery, salty, garlic golden crust.

Take a moment to let that sink in.

Unbelievably tender and so perfect, especially when served with an incredible red wine sauce.

PRINT SAVE go to your favorites
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 1 hr 30 mins
REST: 20 mins
Total: 2 hrs
Serves: 8 SERVES

Ingredients

PRIME RIB:

  • 6 pound (3 kg) standing rib roast, (4 bone rib roast)
  • 2 heads garlic, unpeeled and halved horizontally (unpeeled keeps it together)

GARLIC BUTTER:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

RED WINE JUS:

  • 3 cups low sodium beef stock, (or broth)
  • 2 cups red wine
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, (cornflour) -- optional for a thicker sauce.

Instructions

  • PRIME RIB: Take prime rib out of the refridgerator atleast 2 - 3 hours before cooking to bring to room temperature. Pat dry all over with paper towel.
  • PREHEAT: STANDARD oven to 460˚F (240°C) | FAN/CONVECTION 430˚F (220°C).
  • GARLIC BUTTER: Mix together the butter and garlic and 1/2 tablespoon of salt in a small bowl until combined.
  • SKILLET OR ROASTING PAN: Arrange garlic halves in a heavy-based pan or cast-iron skillet. Spread 2 tablespoons of garlic butter on the underside of the beef (bone-side) to completely coat. Place the roast, bone-side down, in the pan/skillet on top of the garlic halves (the bones create a natural roasting rack for the meat). Spread another 2-3 tablespoons of garlic butter on the top and sides, rubbing into the flesh. Coat well.
    Season with remaining salt and pepper.
  • ROAST: For 20-30 minutes or until the roast has nicely browned.
  • GARLIC BUTTER 2: Carefully remove roast from oven. Spread with remaining garlic butter.
  • REDUCE OVEN TEMPERATURE: STANDARD oven 250°F (120°C) | FAN/CONVECTION oven 220°F (100°C).
  • COVER WITH FOIL and continue to slow roast for 1 - 1 1/2 hours, basting every 20-30 minutes with the pan juices, until reaching your desired preference. Internal temperature should read 118°F | 48°C for med/rare.
    (TIP: Start checking internal temperature after 45 minutes of roasting. Continue to keep checking with each baste to ensure it doesn't over cook.)
  • Once cooked to your liking, allow to rest for 20 minutes. The roast will continue to cook as the juices inside settle, raising the internal temperature to 130°F | 55°C for a perfect medium-rare prime rib.
  • REST: Transfer roast to serving plate, tent loosely with foil and let rest for 20 - 30 minutes. Internal temperature will rise to 125°F (52°C) for medium rare.
  • SLICE AND SERVE with Red Wine Jus/Sauce.
  • RED WINE JUS: Place skillet with pan juices and the cooked garlic halves left in the pan on the stove top over high heat. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of the beef stock and all of the wine. Bring to a fast simmer for 10 minutes until iquid has reduced by roughly half.
  • REDUCE HEAT to medium. Whisk cornstarch (cornflour) into the remaining beef stock. Whisk half of the mixture into the red wine jus. Sauce will begin to thicken. Whisk in remaining cornstarch mixture for a thicker jus.
    Strain jus into a bowl, pressing garlic juices through the strainer, then pour jus into serving jug.

Notes

SIDE DISH SUGGESTIONS: Creamy Mashed Potatoes, Buttery Mashed Cauliflower, Buttery Sautéed Green Beans, Balsamic Roasted Mushrooms, Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon.
Internal Temperature of Cooked Prime Rib will rise while it rests by 5-7°F (or  3-4°C) every 10 to 15 minutes or so. Take out of the oven just before reaching your desired doneness, as below:
  • Rare: 120°F (49°C). Remove from oven at 115°F (46°C) internal temp.
  • Medium Rare: 125°F (51.7°C). Remove at 48°C / 118°F internal temp.
  • Medium: 130°F (55°C). Remove at 123°F (51°F) internal temp.
  • Medium Well: 135°F (57°C). Remove at 127°F (53°C) internal temp.
For larger roasts, add 10 minutes extra roasting time for each additional 2 pounds (1 kg). Start checking the internal temperature early, as suggested in the recipe, to be sure. Every oven is different.
PRIME RIB SELECTION OR STANDING RIB ROAST. Buy a good quality cut from your butcher. They are normally larger and fresher when compared with supermarket cuts.
Choose a cut with the bones still attached and trimmed (or frenched: bones scraped clean of excess fat and meat). You can also buy a prime rib roast with bones removed and reattached with string if you wish! Bones = a natural roasting rack for the meat.

    AH-MAZING!!!!! Made this last night with a small 5.99-a-pound prime rib that was on sale from the local supermarket and it was divine! I’m not hosting Christmas for the first time in almost 30 years, but we’ve always served a prime rib so I’m an old pro at it – but I’ve never used the low and slow method. The meat was perfectly cooked, and interestingly enough it was medium rare all the way to the edges, as opposed to being more cooked on the outside, with only the center portion of the meat being medium rare.

    Served it with truffle mashed potato and an arugula salad (you know, because we’re watching our waistlines . . . ) and it was a fantastic way to welcome home our boys from college. This recipe is definitely a keeper. If you use one of the temperature probes that beeps when it gets to the right temperature, you can just pop it in and get on with wrapping presents, which was exactly what I did.

    PS – Karina that Christmas Crack recipe has become an annual favorite! This year, in addition to the peanut butter, we did nutella and chopped hazelnuts and it was a smash hit. We’ve been giving trays and tins out for the holidays and have received rave reviews from neighbors, coworkers, clients, our letter carrier and our sanitation guys! Thank you for what you do 🙂

    I have roasted Prime Rib like this for Christmas or New Year’s for several years now. Your instructions are perfect to get the roast exactly as you love your beef. Remind everyone that PRIME beef is worth the splurge, but Choice beef will still be wonderful. Also, make sure your thermometer is calibrated by checking it in boiling water – it should read 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius. Don’t gamble with a wonderful piece of meat! I love the Cafe Delites blog! Such great information and yummy recipes!

    Perfect timing, as I have a rib roast in the freezer that I’m thawing on Sunday to fix for Christmas dinner. A couple of suggestions that I find useful for my Prime Rib;

    1. I thaw the roast at least 24 hours before cooking, pat it dry, coat the outside with Kosher salt and dry brine it uncovered in the fridge for 24-48 hours. This draws moisture from the meat, intensifying the flavor.

    2. I learned a couple of years ago to use a reverse sear to brown and crisp the exterior of the roast. Cook at 250F until you hit your done point (rare to med-rare for me) and take the roast out of the oven. Allow the roast to sit for at least 15 minutes to cool the outside and get the juices to redistribute. When you get towards the end of the 15 minutes, put a cast iron pan on the stove over high heat. When the pan is screaming hot, put the roast in the pan for a minute or two on all sides, and for anyone who wants a slice more well done, sear the ends, too. You really need a good vent fan to handle the smoke from this searing.

    I’m really looking forward to the garlic butter on the roast and the garlic/red wine jus.

    Thanks for the info.

    This is the best way to fix a Rib Roast. Take out at 110 degrees for a perfect rare cut. I also fix a Au Jus using a can of Consumme, red wine and beef broth adding a little pepper, garlic and yummy bits if desired and reduce. And don’t forget a good bottle of wine….:):):)

    This recipe is amazing especially with the balsamic mushrooms. Please do not skip or skimp on the “coming to room temperature “ step. Very tender and juicy just as it should be. Thank you, Karina, for another delicious recipe and Happy Holidays!

      This sounds so good. I’ve done Prime rib before. My butcher drenched the rib bones so carving was a snap. I’m definitely trying this one as my butcher has prime rib on sale for $6.99 a pound. Merry Christmas!

    I saw this awhile back and decided to surprise my wife with it one night, she loved it! Also my neighbors loved it as well. I will be making this again this Christmas to celebrate reconnecting with my older kids.
