Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Prime Rib

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Rub the prime rib roast with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place it in a roasting pan and roast for 15 minutes to create a crust.

Roast the Meat

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Make the Horseradish Crema

In a small bowl, combine sour cream and horseradish. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare the Au Jus

In a saucepan, bring the beef broth to a simmer. You can add drippings from the roast if available for extra flavor. Keep warm.

Slice the Prime Rib

Once rested, slice the prime rib thinly against the grain.

Assemble the Sandwich

Slice the French rolls in half. Layer the bottom half with prime rib slices, Swiss cheese, and roasted red peppers. Spread the horseradish crema on the top half, then place it on top.

Serve

Serve the sandwiches with a side of warm au jus for dipping.
