Equipment

  • 1 oven roasting rack and roasting pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lb boneless prime rib roast
  • 1 tbsp butter room temperature
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tbsp seasoned salt
  • 2 tbsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tbsp steak rub
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 carrot chopped
  • 1 tsp beef base
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cover prime rib roast in butter. Then combine garlic salt, seasoned salt, dried rosemary, steak rub, and black pepper. Evenly spread seasonings over the surfaces of the prime rib roast.
  • Allow roast to sit in the refrigerator at least an hour to let seasonings absorb and stick.
  • Take out prime rib roast to allow to come to room temperature for an hour before roasting.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Place prime rib roast on a roasting rack to elevate it in the roasting pan. Then place carrot, celery, onion, garlic, red wine, and water on the bottom of the roasting pan. This will start the au jus while the roast is cooking.
  • Place roast in the oven. Broil for 20 minutes to create a crust. Then turn oven down to 300 degrees and roast for 50 minutes or until it reads 115 degrees F. Take roast out and allow to rest 30 minutes. While resting, the roast should reach the ideal temperature for medium rare: 120-125 degrees F.

Au Jus

  • Take the pan juices and roasted vegetables and place into a pot. Add 1/4 cup water to slightly cover the vegetables if needed. Add a tsp of beef base. Simmer on low for 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve au jus sauce with prime rib.
