The Judge 24 Oz. Prime Rib Recipe

Entrees

1. 1

   Preparing the Roast

   Start by letting the prime rib roast come to room temperature for about 1 hour before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

2. 2

   Seasoning the Meat

   In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme. Rub the olive oil over the prime rib roast, then generously coat the roast with the seasoning mixture, ensuring it covers all sides.

3. 3

   Preheating the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This high temperature will help create a nice crust on the roast.

4. 4

   Roasting the Prime Rib

   Place the seasoned prime rib in a roasting pan, bone side down. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to create a crust. After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue to roast until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the size and shape of the roast.

5. 5

   Resting the Meat

   Once the prime rib reaches your desired internal temperature, remove it from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

6. 6

   Making the Au Jus

   While the roast is resting, you can prepare the au jus. Pour the beef broth and red wine into the roasting pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it reduce slightly for about 10-15 minutes.

7. 7

   Slicing and Serving

   After resting, slice the prime rib against the grain into desired thickness. Serve with the au jus on the side for dipping.
