One of the hallmarks of a Drew’s Kitchen Dish is its simplicity. Every food has its own unique flavor, but that special taste can be easily covered by complex sauces or exotic spices. This month’s recipe is very simple, and takes full advantage of the complex flavors of a Prime Rib roast. The trick isn’t in the ingredients… it’s how you actually heat the meat.
Ingredients
- 1 prime rib roast, 6-8 pounds
- Half of whole clove garlic
- Coarse black pepper
- Rock salt
Directions
- Peel and slice garlic clove into thick slivers
- With a sharp knife, cut 8-10 deep slits into top of roast, each about 1 ½” deep and ¾” long. Insert garlic slivers deep into each slit, then squeeze the slits closed with your fingers.
- Season roast with generous amount of coarse pepper and rock salt
- Preheat the oven to 375°
- Roast for 45 minutes
- Turn oven off. DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR.
- 1½ hour before eating, open oven, put meat thermometer in roast, set oven to 375°. Keep roast in oven.
- Meat is perfect at 130°-132°
- Let roast sit for 25 minutes before carving.
