Prime Rib

Prime rib is a favorite in our house but because of it's expense, we can only eat it once in awhile. I make a delicious mixture of Snider's Prime Rib and Roast Seasoning, olive oil and lots of minced garlic. I rub the paste over the entire prime rib then roast it at a high heat for a short time before turning it to a lower heat to finish roasting. The garlic coating is so unbelievable! We all devoured our little 3 lb prime rib. My husband and I couldn't believe how great it tasted and loved the fact that we could cut it with a fork. Our kids gobbled it up and asked for seconds. I served the prime rib with mashed potatoes with gravy and a steamed artichoke. It was a wonderful dinner.
  • 3 lb prime rib (ours was boneless)
  • 2-3 tbsp of Snider's Prime Rib and Roast Seasoning (or your favorite steak seasoning)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 cloves of garlic, minced

Note: I always let my meat sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking.

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. In a small bowl mix the seasonings, olive oil and garlic until well combined. Rub over the entire prime rib then place in a roasting pan with the fat side up. I use an electronic meat thermometer with an alarm (I highly recommend getting one - it makes life so much easier) which is inserted in the center of the prime rib.

Bake the 3lb roast for 17 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat (without opening the oven door) to 325 degrees and continue roasting for about 35 minutes or until the thermometer reads 130 degrees (for medium rare). Remove from oven and let rest for at least 7-10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

    This really looks wonderful. I have a prime rib roast in the freezer and can't wait to cook it.

     

    Pam, this looks amazing. I've never tried the Synder's rub, but it is now on my to-do list. Absolutely gorgeous photos!

     

    What a perfectly traditional and fabulous meal, Pam! The prime is mouthwatering....

     

    Hi Pam,
    You won't believe this, but my son has been bugging me to make steaks for dinner. Prime rib sounds like a good choice.
    Cheers,

    Whoa!!! Hubby and Kid1 would love this!!! :) thanks for sharing...

     

    I love prime rib, I babysat mine all day, New Year's Day....your paste sounds good!

     

    It looks so perfect!

     

    So tender and juicy by the look. I am sure it is tasty!

     

    looks really juicy and tender! I love it pink on the inside.

     

    Although I don't cook it often prime rib is my favorite cut of beef. This is making my mouth water. I like your method of roasting and will give it a try next time.

     

    Your prime rib came out beautiful. The colors look great. My mouth is watering looking at your pictures. What a wonderful meal.

     

    I don't think I've ever cooked a prime rib! Yours looks absolutely delicious for a good hearty winter meal.

    gorgeous "little" roast!
    I have never heard of Sniders' Seasoning before. Will have to seek it out!

     

    Couldn't be easier and I'm sure it couldn't be tastier!

     

    YUM

     

    Holy cow! A roast in under an hour? I just can't imagine that. This is one beautiful prime rib, Pam.

     

    Oh wow, that looks AWESOME! I have to make! I wonder if I can make it look as delicious as yours!

     

    I don't do meat, but I know everyone loves a good prime rib! I am sure yours is perfecto!

     

    Too funny we both do Prime Rib on the same day! I did mine way back in November, been saving it! Yours looks better I must say, mine was a bit overcooked!

     

    Mmmm, prime rib! I haven't had prime rib in ages, and even then I ordered it at a restaurant that specialized in prime rib. I love that crusty outside, I think I'd nibble on that first. The inside looks wonderful, and very tender. I didn't realize it could cook that fast! I thought it had to be roasted for hours and hours. My hubby would love this. He's a meat and potatoes kind of guy.

     

    yep, there's a reason it's called prime. nicely done.

     

    Looks great Pam, I'm curious about Snyder's Rub, what is that? Certainly its not available in Brazil. I use cracked black pepper and rock salt.

    Once in a while, there is nothing like a big chunk of meat.

    You are making me really hungry.

    YUM!

     

    Cooked perfectly! I'm scared to cook expensive meat!

     

    Looks perfect! I wonder if I can get Snider's seasoning in Ontario? I will have to find out. :)

     

    I love making prime rib on my Big Green Egg. I have been converted to doing a reverse sear on the roast. IMO, that does make a difference in the last few I tried that way.

    A few times a year, my wife will buy me a whole ribeye. When I cut it down into steaks, I keep a 3-4 lb piece of it just to have as a roast.

    Great job on the rib roast! It looks like it was amazing.

     

    Give me prime rib ANY DAY!! This one is beautifully juicy looking!

     

    I always tend to cook roasts slow and low, but that looks so good I will have to give it a try next time we have prime rib.

     

    my hubby would love you for this sinc eyou make it just how he likes it.
    I never make this as I am not a big eater of red meat, but I have to admit the crust looks quite lickable! LOL!

     

    mmmmm. looks yummy! nick and i do love a good prime rib :)

    ps - you and cheryl are neighbors and psychic?! so weird that you made the same thing!!

     

    Beautiful! I love making a rib roast and yorkshire puddings. This reminds me I need to make it once again.

     

    That's one good looking roast. I need to make myself one.

     

    Prime Rib -- Mother Nature's grandest gift to old reired Texas professors.

    My favorite food on the planet, and I must compliment you on your beautiful photo. Probably the best photo of properly prepared prime rib that I have ever seen!

    Great post and tribute to the prime rib.

     

    This is a meal to drool over. Oh my gosh that chunk of meat looks so scrumptious.

     

    This looks perfectly done!!!!
