Roasted Prime Rib Recipe

December 10, 2019 by The Butcher Shop

Roasted Prime Rib
Prime rib is an exquisite cut of beef that is marbled with just enough fat to make it likely the juiciest cut of beef when roasted. The rib bones impart an enormous amount of flavor into the meat. Prime rib takes center stage on many holiday tables.We take pride in our fresh beef that is non-GMO, free-range, and sourced from local farms right here in Southern Oregon. We highly recommend a standing rib roast for the best holiday meal. A standing rib is a regal beast with the ribs standing upright in the roasting pan.

Because the meat itself is so delicious, we recommend that you don’t overpower it with too much seasoning. And, there is no need to marinate a standing rib roast. This is a tender cut of beef that really only requires salt, pepper, and an herb of your choice.

How Much Will You Need?

A full prime rib roast cut generally has 7 ribs. Each rib section can generally serve 2 people. Here is a good guideline for planning your rib roast meal.

  • 1.5 pounds for 2 people
  • 3 pounds for 4 people
  • 4.5 pounds for 6 people
  • 6 pounds for 8 people
  • 7.5 pounds for 10 people
  • 9 pounds for 12 people

When you call us to order a standing rib roast, or come in to choose one, our expert butchers can help you with the size you will need. So, let’s get to the recipe for cooking a roasted prime rib.

Roasted Prime Rib Recipe

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: approximately 2 hours
Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 full standing rib roast, approximately 9 pounds
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme or rosemary leaves

Directions:

1. Take the roast out of your refrigerator 30 minutes prior to roasting to allow it to come to room temperature.Roasted Prime Rib

2. Preheat your oven to 450°F.

3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, and herb of choice. Rub the entire roast with the oil and seasoning mixture. Place the beef on a rack inside a roasting pan, fat side up.

4. Roast for 30 minutes at 450°F. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to cook for approximately 1-1/2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 115°F for medium rare when checked with a digital meat thermometer. This is approximately 15 minutes per pound. For more well done meat, cook to an internal temperature of 125°F.

5. Remove the roast from the oven to a clean cutting board. Tent with foil and allow the meat to rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

6. Slice between the ribs. You can serve the whole rib sections with the bone-in for an impressive presentation. Or, remove the rib bones and slice the roast against the grain. Place the meat on a serving platter and spoon over some of the pan juices.

7. Serve while warm with Yorkshire pudding and roasted root vegetables.
