Method
Preparing the Prime Rib
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
Prepare the Cajun Spice Rub
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, oregano, thyme, and cumin until well combined.
Season the Prime Rib
Rub the spice mixture generously all over the prime rib roast, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Roast the Prime Rib
Place the seasoned prime rib on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for about 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
Making the Chipotle Au Jus
Combine Ingredients
In a saucepan, combine beef broth, chipotle peppers, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Thicken the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add this to the simmering broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Serving
Rest and Slice the Roast
Once the prime rib is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. Slice the roast into thick pieces.
Plate the Dish
Serve slices of prime rib topped with crispy onions and creamy horseradish sauce on the side. Drizzle with chipotle au jus.
