Perfect Prime Rib Every Time | No Fail

prime rib roast

🥗Healthier: lean cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: chuck roast

Lean cuts are lower in fat; chuck roast is more budget-friendly.

Take the prime rib roast and coat it lightly with kosher salt on all sides, including the fat side and ends.

Place the salted roast on a roasting rack in the fridge and let it set for 24 hours to create reverse osmosis.

Remove the roast from the fridge and prepare nearly 3 tablespoons of butter, cutting it into small pieces and freezing them overnight.

Make holes in the roast with a knife and insert the frozen butter pieces into the holes to add moisture and flavor while cooking.

Prepare a coffee rub by crushing black peppercorns, brown sugar, and coriander, and mix it with coffee.

Season the roast generously with the coffee rub, ensuring to cover all sides, especially the fat side, and let it sit at room temperature for about 3 hours before cooking.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

Place the roast in the oven with the fat side up and roast for 20 minutes.

Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the desired doneness is reached, using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.

Let the roast rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
