HORSERADISH AND ROASTED GARLIC CRUSTED PRIME RIB
The prime rib I did was enough to serve 6 people – or 4 large carnivores! Was 6.7, with bones before cooking! Key to a good prime rib is to sear the roast, and lock in the juices.
Rub for prime rib-
30 garlic cloves
5 tbs horse radish
10 – 15 fresh rosemary sprigs
Montreal Steak Seasoning
Course ground black pepper
1. In a small Pyrex pan – with some olive oil – roast the garlic cloves at 325 covered – for about 25 minutes – they should look brown and soft. Set aside
2. Add horseradish – stripped rosemary (discarding any woody stems), and garlic cloves with remaining olive oil to food processor – puree until smooth.
3. Starting with the sides of the roast – rub paste on side of the roast – then coat liberally with Steak seasoning, and pepper (the paste helps the seasoning stick)
4. Start with the sides, then bottom – last the top – as the top is how the roast will sit in the pan.
5. Do this early – allow the roast to sit most of the day before cooking.
6. Pre heat oven to 495 – using a good meat thermometer – fine the coldest spot of the roast to insert your thermometer.
7. Cook roast at 495 for 20 minutes – then drop the temp to 300.
8. When your roast reaches 123 – remove roast and let rest covered for at least 10 – 15 minutes…. roast will continue to cook – but this is the key for a juicy tender prime rib.
9. Add pan drippings to your dipping sauce – whisk in !
