Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Prime Rib

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Rub the prime rib roast with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place the roast in a roasting pan, bone side down, and roast for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Slow Roast

    Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue to roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare is about 135°F / 57°C).

  3. 3

    Rest and Slice

    Remove the prime rib from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Au Jus

    While the meat rests, heat the beef broth in a saucepan over medium heat. Add drippings from the roasting pan, if available, to enhance the flavor. Simmer for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the hoagie rolls and layer with the sliced prime rib and Swiss cheese. Optional: briefly toast the assembled sandwiches in a pan or under a broiler until the cheese is melted and the bread is warm.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches with a side of au jus for dipping and creamy horseradish sauce on the side, if desired.
