Cooking prime rib roast is an easy process that requires little preparation. It doesn’t need any special seasonings, but some marinades can add flavor. Salt and pepper are usually sufficient. However, if you want to add a little more flavor to your meal, you can purchase garlic and rosemary-infused rubs. A small knife, bought at Bed Bath & Beyond, is useful to cut slits in the roast. You can then tuck the garlic cloves into the slits.
The most common mistake people make is trying to thaw the meat in the refrigerator. This can result in bacteria growing in the meat. Therefore, the best way to thaw a prime rib roast is by allowing it to reach room temperature. The thawing process can take anywhere from a day to three days, depending on the size of the roast. It will release its juices and re-absorb them.
To make the best prime rib roast, lay the meat ribbone-side down on a cutting board. Cut the meat into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices, avoiding over-cutting it. By doing this, the meat will continue to cook and become tenderer. Marbled fat will also add to the flavor of the prime rib roast. For best results, start cooking your prime rib roast at least one day before you intend to serve it to your guests.
When cooking prime rib roast, choose a grade that is medium-rare and does not result in a gray ring around the edges. This is a good choice for smaller prime ribs. To determine the precise weight of your prime rib roast, copy the weight on the label and write it down on a sticky note. Place the sticky note in the fridge before throwing out the butcher paper. This will help you to cook your prime rib roast to your desired level of doneness.
