Cooking Roast Prime Rib
Is there anything more comforting than cooking roast prime rib? The sheer smell of this delectable dish wafting throughout your home is enough to make any person’s mouth water… here’s how to prepare it.
While there are many different methods of cooking roast prime rib, the traditional method is the one that most people dream about. This recipe comes complete with all the trimmings expected of a family meal, but the roast is always the main event. In order to make sure that your meal is the best that it can possibly be, take a bit of time to select your meat carefully. Also, make sure to pick up a great meat thermometer while you are out – temperature makes all the difference in the world.
The best part about this savory meal is the fact that it is really simple to prepare. To begin, season your meat with salt, pepper, or your favorite rub. Meanwhile, chop up some carrots, celery, and potatoes and place them inside of the roasting dish. Then, cut small (not deep) slits into the meat, and place slices of fresh garlic inside of it. Once your meat is prepared, place it in a cast iron roasting dish and slip it into a 325 degree oven until it reaches the right temperature (this depends upon your personal taste, so read the temperatures that come with your thermometer). The next step is crucial to a moist meat, though most people neglect to do it…
Once your meat is finished cooking, cover it with a tent of tin foil and allow it to rest for ten minutes. This will allow those juices to really settle into the meat, which will create a truly succulent roast. After it has time to rest, you can then carve it as you like. This is the easiest (and best) way of cooking roast prime rib, though the entire meal will largely depend upon the cut of meat itself.
If you can, make sure to buy your meat from a good butcher. Usually, butchers tend to buy better meat than your average grocery store. If you have a good relationship with your butcher, you can almost guarantee that you will get the best possible meat every time.
As you can see, cooking roast prime rib is a snap once you have the aforementioned recipe memorized. Everyone that tastes this recipe is guaranteed to love it, and you will have the satisfaction of serving a simple, yet traditional, meal that really takes no time at all to cook.
