Preparation

Step 1

step 1

ingredients

instructions For the Prime Rib: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

step 2

ingredients 1 Oven-ready Prime Rib Roast (6-7 pounds and 4-5 bones)
1/4 cup Olive oil

instructions Brush the meat with the olive oil.

step 3

ingredients 1/4 cup Coarsely ground black pepper
3 tablespoons Fine sea salt
2 tablespoons Chopped garlic
3 tablespoons Thyme leaves
3 tablespoons Rosemary needles

instructions Combine all of the seasonings in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning paste uniformly over the meat. Put the meat, meat side down, in a roasting pan and roast for 20 minutes.

step 4

ingredients

instructions Carefully turn the roast over to rest the beef on the bone –side, on a roasting rack, for the remainder of the cooking time. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center of the roast reads 120°F for medium rare, 1 ½ to 2 hours. After you have reached the desired degree of doneness, remove the roast from the oven and let stand for 20 minutes before carving.

step 5

ingredients

instructions After the roast has rested for 20 minutes, carefully transfer it bone-side down to a large cutting board. Insert a sharp knife between the meat and the rib bones, separating the meat from the ribs in 1 large piece to slice the beef into boneless slices. Carve the boneless meat into ½-inch-thick slices or if desired, cut between the rib bones, and serve one enormous bone-on prime rib chop per diner.

step 6

ingredients 3-4 ounce Fresh horseradish root
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar

instructions For the Horseradish Cream: Peel and finely grate the horseradish, soaking it with the vinegar to prevent blackening.

step 7

ingredients 1 Pinch Sugar
1 teaspoon Dry English mustard

instructions Add the sugar and mustard and allow to macerate a few minutes.

step 8

ingredients 1 cup Creme Fraiche
1 Pinch Salt
Black pepper (1-2 grinds)

instructions Add the crème fraiche, salt and pepper and serve. Will keep for 1 or 2 days, refrigerated.
