How to Cook a Boneless Prime Rib: A Step-by-Step Guide

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 2-3 hours (depending on desired doneness)

Servings: 8-10

Ingredients:

* 3-4 lbs boneless prime rib roast

* 1 tablespoon olive oil

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

* 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

* 1/4 cup beef broth

* 1/4 cup red wine (optional)

* Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

Equipment:

* Roasting pan

* Meat thermometer

* Kitchen twine

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Roast:

* Pat the roast dry with paper towels.

* Tie the roast with kitchen twine to keep it from unraveling during cooking.

* Rub the roast with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

2. Roast the Prime Rib:

* Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).

* Place the roast in a roasting pan and cook for 15 minutes.

* Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.

* Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Here are some recommended temperatures:

* Rare: 125°F (52°C)

* Medium-rare: 130°F (54°C)

* Medium: 140°F (60°C)

* Medium-well: 150°F (66°C)

* Well-done: 160°F (71°C)

3. Rest and Serve:

* Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more flavorful and tender cut.

* While the roast is resting, make the pan sauce:

* Pour off excess fat from the roasting pan.

* Deglaze the pan with beef broth and red wine (optional). Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

* Simmer the sauce for a few minutes until thickened.

* Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.

* Carve the roast into thin slices and serve with the pan sauce.

Tips:

* For a crispy crust, sear the roast in a hot skillet before putting it in the oven.

* To add flavor, add fresh rosemary sprigs to the roasting pan during cooking.

* If you prefer a more flavorful roast, marinate the prime rib overnight in a mixture of olive oil, red wine, garlic, onion, and herbs.

* If you're cooking a larger roast, add an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time.

* Adjust cooking time based on your oven and roast size.
