How To Prepare a Juicy Prime Rib I Holiday Meals

[@MrFazeone]

I made a 6 lb prime rib this Christmas eve. I Seasoned it liberally with kosher salt, course black pepper, garlic powder and a light sprinkling of dried rosemary. I preheated my oven at 500 degrees and roasted the prime rib at that temp for 30 minutes. At the 30 min mark I turned the oven temp down to 325 degrees and continued to bake it for 1 hr and 30 minutes. Eternal temp was about 135 degrees when i checked it. I let it rest for 30 - 40 minutes before I sliced it. Perfect and Delicious.

[@tom_something]

I like that you demonstrated what happens if you carve meat that hasn't had a chance to rest. So many cooking demonstrations only explain what happens and then show the "right way". Seeing the "wrong way" can be very helpful to someone who doesn't have a great deal of professional cooking experience.

[@bobbyrobbins9816]

Everyone is different but I personally don’t like meat when it sits and gets cold. Great job on the rib roasts. They looked perfectly cooked.

[@csmith4463]

I like to heavily season in between bones and roast before tying back together

[@maravenu1512]

Hi, loved your presentation. What is the high temp you start off with for how long before 350 degrees?

[@Donnie9by5]

This is a good video over all! There are things you can change to your liking! 500 is a hot oven I remove from fridge allowing it to become room temp having already seasoned and tied the bones back on I roast it letting it sits give from rare to med rare! You can serve it any time that you want give or take a few minutes either way!

[@UpcycleEngineer]

[@georgeclayton6575]

I sprinkle a light powdering of a mixture of onion powder. garlic powder, rosemary and thyme. Otherwise the flavor is a little flat

[@robertchew4997]

A nice roasting pan. What’s the brand of the pan? I missed the part about high temp, then turn it down to 350. So, what is that high temp for what duration?

[@TheGreatCourses]

Hi Robert, we don't have any idea about the pan. It’s a course with CIA so you can probably find out the recommended equipment from their site. We don’t actually go into the recipe (since those are owned by the CIA) but the time is based on the size of the meat. Chef bill here says what he has he starts high (450, maybe 5 minutes) then goes to 350 for about 1-1.5 hours.

[@glennardcoleman1518]

I will have prime rib this Christmas. I need to learn how to cook a prime rib.

[@karateday]

@HomesliceDrummer I have had similar good results with a slow roasted prime rib, in a convection oven at 330 degrees for about 2 hours. Seasoned with S/P, garlic powder, onion powder, uncovered in the fridge overnight, came out perfect medium rare.

[@angiejacksonsteward4293]

@HomesliceDrummer sounds like a plan. It's too expensive to screw up!!!

[@RealPeterGunn]

I bow to the Chef’s channel in respect and add only that the meat should be room temperature and I use more salt & pepper as a rub. Our cooking methods may differ but our intent is the same. Merry Christmas everyone!!

[@RealPeterGunn]

montanadoctor I appreciate your reply but it is a very bold and incorrect statement you’ve made. I’ve owned 3 restaurants in my life, i designed the floor plans, menus, hired staff and cooked at each one. Taking the prime out of the walk-in before dawn and letting it get to room temp while still wrapped is a widely practiced method of preparation for meat. I am referring specifically here about beef. In fact, Chef Marco Pierre White suggested that method over 30 years ago, even for individual cut steaks. So when you claim to speak for every Chef and every restaurant may I suggest that you speak for your own culinary experience and practice. The culinary arts for me is indeed an art, fantasy and vocation. Food preparation is a never ending learning experience, I hope you continue to work in our field of study if that is what you do and May God Bless!

😋😋😋😋 I cooked it for Thanksgiving, and will cook again for Christmas, delicious....

[@homevalueglass3809]

I'm missing something. What is the purpose of cutting off the rib bones and then tying them back on. I could see the benefit of you were rubbing the roast with the bones off first but you didn't do that. Is it just to make it easier to remove the bone after it's done cooking?

[@TheGreatCourses]

Try taking the course to find all the answers to your questions!

[@justinbowen3387]

I’m a little confused on why he is okay with having such a large grey area on the perimeter of the prime rib? To me that just ruins the meat. Wouldn’t it be better to reverse sear it or something in order to have more pink juicy meat?

[@jlo6388]

Justin Bowen the cap is the most delicious, gray or not!

[@edmundooliver7584]

safety in restaurants, at home you could eat it pink

[@justinbowen3387]

J Lo I understand that. But for the sake of cooking something delicious throughout the cut, I would think a different approach would be more beneficial

[@BigShticks]

edmundo oliver That’s not true. Every restaurant has disclaimers about eating raw or undercooked food. The truth is , this method is so outdated. Roasting for longer at lower temps completely eliminates that overcooked grey band which is IMO the best part of the rib roast (spinalis)

Flat Thumb get the thermometer that you can leave in the roast from Walmart or Target. They are cheap and work great. Probe goes in meat and snake wire to outside of oven door, and the thermostat unit will beep when done.

[@rhcpfan1981]

For all of you wondering about the temp and how long to cook for. Forget what this guy said. There is a really easy method that some of the best restaurants in the world use. First off pull your prime rib out of the fridge a few hours before and get it to room temp before trying to cook it (bigger roast take longer). Start at 500 degrees. For every pound of meat cook for 5 minutes at this temp. So a 5 pound rib roast cook at 500 degrees for 25 mins, 8 pound rib roast cook for 40 mins, so on and so forth). When you have cooked at 500 for each pound of meat turn your oven off and do not open your oven for 2 hours (no matter the size of the roast). At the end of 2 hours pull it out and let it sit at room temp for 30 mins, this method will yield a perfect medium rare. Throw some plates in the microwave for 15 seconds to get them warm. Slice, plate, and enjoy

[@Mickcotton]

rhcpfan1981 yes that is totally correct! That is the perfect way to cook Prime Rib Thank You

[@henrypham904]

While this is an easy method, it ends up with a grey band in your meat, because the outside is cooking faster than the inside.

[@stevemcqueen1916]

rhcpfan1981 agree 100 percent, i heard about this method and tried it out and it works perfectly, havent done any super expensive prime rib roasts but the eye of round and bottom and top round roasts ive done like this come out perfect

[@karlbraun9564]

[@bgzwlz5119]

Watching online videos, there seems to be basically 3 cooking techniques for cooking a prime rib/standing rib roast. 1. Start roast out at a high temperature like 500 degrees and then turn down to 350 after some browning has been accomplished. The problem as is clearly shown in this video, is that the finished roast has a ring of brown meat around the edge of the slices. I will add that this is how I cook a turkey and I add foil over the beasts after 30 minutes at 500 degrees then turn the oven down to 350. 2. Cook the roast low and slow around 200 degrees until roast shows around 120 degrees, then rest 30 minutes and back into a 500 degree oven to brown the exterior. 3. Cook roast at 500 degrees for approximately 30 minutes, and then turn oven OFF for two hours. Don't open the oven. When temperature reaches medium rare, remove from oven and carve. No resting needed. I'm still studying but I think 2or 3 are better methods?

[@22julip]

I always do number 3 the only thing is it’s just a little too rare , not enough not to enjoy the beef but I want to tweak it just a little . Maybe. Cook for an extra minute or two at 500 .we’ll see happy holidays.

[@Theodora555]

[@thisgirlsaywHatt]

Tim M high temp meaning 500° F.

[@BigIron936]

As Yaj said. 500 F. Which is the highest most conventional electric ovens will go. You cook it that way until it gets that blackened crust you saw and then reduce the heat to normal baking temperature 350 F. Which is just to finish cooking the meat all the way. If you cooked it the entire way through at 500 F the outside would be completely scorched.

[@IrmaU94]

Tim M you can't use the same method anyway. aim for your preferred internal temperature.

[@beckygarcia9043]

Look for Food wishes Prime Rib, This guy does not go over the temp of the meat before baking, you need more seasoning. I make it differently each year, the best one I have done, is a full salt bake.

[@PixelPirate269]

Pity... Cooking a prime rib on high heat to start and then reducing the temp to a lower 350 degrees almost always results in the cap of the rib roast, probably the best part, over-cooking. Instead, try roasting the rib roast low and slow at 225 or 250 until the internal temp reaches about 117 to 120. Once that temp is reached, pull the roast out and let it rest, loosely tented under foil and a clean towel, for 15 to 30 minutes. One thing I like to do is rotate the roast to redistribute any juices that are being released. While the roast is resting, the residual heat will continue to cook the roast and it should rise another 10 degrees which gets you to the 125 mark. Towards the end of the roasting period, turn up the oven to 500 and when the resting period is over, and the oven is preheated, put the roast back in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. When the time is up, remove the roast from the oven and carve - it will be medium rare from top to bottom and extremely tender and juicy; fantastic!

Yep you all saw it - cooking a rib roast at 350 to an internal temp of 125 and resting 30 minutes results in a medium to medium well roast - in other words, an overdone roast. Here is what you want to do. Cook your roast at a low and slow 225 until 115-120 internal temp (this will take hours for a large roast). Take it out, rest 30 min. Then put back in a 500 degree oven for 8-10 min to sear. That will be a medium rare roast, nice pink all the way through...this is known as reverse sear.
