Prime Rib - 2006
​​​​​​Recipe courtesy of Mike Nohl

INGREDIENTS
  • 7 pounds  Standing rib roast
  • Salt and pepper

​PREPARATION
Pat the roast dry.  Place it on a wire rack set oven a paper towel lined cookie sheet.  Set it in the refrigerator and let it age until ready to cook (3 - 7 days).

On cooking day, shave off the exterior meat that has dried (the roast may lose up to a pound due to shaving and dehydration.  Let the roast set at room temperature for 3 hours.  Tie the roast at both ends, parallel to the bone.

Heat a large roasting pan over 2 burners on the stove set at medium high.  Place the roast in the hot pan and brown well on all side. About 1/2 cup of fat will be rendered.  This takes about 6-8 minutes.

Remove the roast, and place a rack in the pan used for the browning.  Set the roast on the rack and season with salt and pepper.

Place the pan in the oven in the lowest position at 200 degrees.  Roast until the center reaches 130 degrees for a medium rare roast.  This takes about 3 1/2 hours (30 minutes per pound).

Let the roast stand for about 20 minutes before carving.
