prime rib roast

🥗Healthier: sirloin roast

💰Cheaper: chuck roast

Sirloin provides a leaner option while still being flavorful.

Choose a USDA prime rib roast with good marbling for flavor.

Note that the butcher has partially cut the meat from the bone for easier carving.

If necessary, tie the roast with string every inch to keep it together during cooking.

Wash hands after handling the meat before seasoning.

Wear gloves for seasoning the beef.

Use about a teaspoon of kosher salt per pound of beef, applying it generously.

Prepare a compound brown butter with thyme, sage, rosemary, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon zest.

Slather the compound brown butter all over the roast.

Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C) for the reverse sear method.

Cook the roast in the oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Increase the oven temperature to 475°F (246°C) and cook for an additional 20 to 30 minutes to create a crust.

Check the internal temperature, aiming for 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.

Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before cutting.

Remove the string used to tie the roast.

Cut the roast along the bone, making thin slices.

Plate the sliced prime rib with herbs and serve with sides like mashed potatoes and green beans.
