Prime Rib, The Dinner That Never Stops Giving

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves about 12. serving size: One 4-ounce slice.

Ingredients

Marinade

1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon French’s Classic Yellow Mustard
5 ribs prime roast of beef
1/2 cup black coffee (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    For the marinade, mix together the garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, olive oil, and mustard. Stir well until the ingredients are blended into a smooth mixture.

    Step 2

    Spread the marinade over the meat, covering it completely.

    Step 3

    Wrap the meat loosely in aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.

    Step 4

    About 1 to 2 hours before ready to prepare, remove the meat from the refrigerator and place in a shallow roasting pan, ribs down. (The ribs will act as a rack.) Allow the roast to come to room temperature.

    Step 5

    While the roast is sitting, preheat the oven to 400°F.

    Step 6

    Put the roast into the oven and cook for 20 minutes.

    Step 7

    Insert a meat thermometer into the densest part of the meat. Turn the oven down to 340°F and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until the temperature reaches 165°F for medium. (For well done, cook for an additional hour or until the temperature reaches 180°F; for more rare, reduce the cooking time to 1 hour or until the temperature reaches 140°F.)

    Step 8

    Remove the roast from the oven and let sit for 20 minutes before carving. Carve and serve.

    Step 9

    Once finished serving, remove the remaining meat from the bones, wrap the meat and bones separately in aluminum foil, and refrigerate.

    Step 10

    Pour the leftover drippings into a saucepan and remove the fat. Add the coffee if you like. Salt to taste. Mix well. You now have a jus.
