America – In the event you’re within the States, the USDA has made it straightforward for you by grading prime rib: Prime (the most effective), adopted by Selection then Choose. The grading is basically based mostly on the fats marbling and style.
Right here in Australia, we don’t have a constant grading system. However what I can say for positive is that if you would like a superb high quality standing rib roast, skip the grocery store and head to your native butcher. Grass fed or grain fed comes down to non-public alternative.
Grain fed sometimes has higher marbling and due to this fact a richer, fattier flavour. Grass fed is normally much less fatty however folks (me included!) imagine the flavour of the meat to be richer, extra filled with flavour and the meat to be extra tender.
If you would like prime shelf, go for dry aged beef. You’ll pay critical {dollars} for it – however it’s price it!
The standing rib roast pictured above and under and used within the recipe video has been ready the usual method we do it right here in Australia: the fats cap trimmed and the bones scraped clear for presentation.
The foil: Some butchers will promote the standing rib roast with foil wrapped across the bones. It’s to cease the bones from browning, for presentation functions solely. It seems hanging to have a darkish brown crust, the pink meat and a white bone. If the meat comes with it, I go away it on. However I don’t do it myself.

This recipe will work fantastic whether or not bone in or out, or tied again on. However I’m a agency believer that something cooked with the bone is juicier, so the considered roasting a major rib with out the bone by no means crossed my thoughts.
Plus – I simply assume it seems grand with the bone in! And isn’t chewing the meat off the bone the most effective bit?? 😉
Within the States, you’ll discover some butchers take away the bone then tie it again on. Right here in Australia, you’d must ask for a particular order to have the bone minimize out.
The meat itself is so extremely juicy (with the added bonus of the garlic herb butter!), I actually doubt you’d discover a distinction. So use what you may get, or no matter your private choice is!
Substances you want
Once you spend money on a superb piece of beef, you don’t have to do a lot to it.
However then once more, a superb slathering of Herb and Garlic Butter definitely doesn’t do any hurt! 😂
Utilizing softened slightly than melted butter works a lot better as a result of the garlic and herb bits stick with the pores and skin, making a terrific golden herb and garlic crust!
Be happy to change the herbs to what you’ve got / choose. Additionally, dried herbs work too!
Tips on how to make standing rib roast
After slathering the meat with butter, blast it for 20 minutes in a sizzling oven to get the crust going, then roast in a comparatively low oven of 120°C/250°F for an extra 1.5 hours earlier than resting for 20 to half-hour.
With this technique, the excessive temperature creates a crust rapidly, sealing the juices in. Then we flip the temperature right down to roast it slowly and evenly so it’s blushing pink all through, slightly than ending up with a thick overcooked band across the outdoors of the meat.
Goal an inside temperature of fifty°C/122°F when taking it out of the oven (medium uncommon, really helpful) which can rise to 54°C/129°F after resting for good medium uncommon. See chart under for different doneness.
There are recipes “out there” that decide to make use of a fair decrease temperature and roast for as much as 10 hours. This technique cooks the prime rib so slowly that it’s evenly pink from edge to edge, then seared on the finish to kind a skinny darkish crust.
We really choose to have the textural distinction of a skinny layer of cooked beef on the outer fringe of the meat. It’s nonetheless 90% pink and cooked to medium uncommon all through!
By no means skip the 20 minute relaxation, important to let the meat juices redistribute. In the event you don’t relaxation, the meat juice will run in every single place while you slice it = not as juicy.
Goal inside temperature
Keep in mind, as I defined on the very prime, pull the meat out of the oven earlier than your ultimate Goal Temperature as the inner temperature will proceed to rise at it rests for 20 minutes. In the event you pull the meat out of the oven when it’s already medium uncommon (52°C / 125°F), it will likely be medium after it rests – barely any blushing pink left!
Why I roast on a mattress of onion, garlic & herbs
Also read: Pizza stone on the grill
I prefer to roast my standing rib on a mattress of onion, garlic and herbs which serves three functions:
Elevates the meat off the bottom to encourage extra even cooking;
Stops the drippings from burning (smokes out oven + can’t make a sauce from drippings); and
Provides extra flavour to the drippings that’s then used to make a sauce for the prime rib.
Sauce for Prime Rib – Crimson Wine Sauce
The drippings from the meat left within the pan are loaded with flavour and begging for use for a sauce!
Crimson wine and beef is a basic flavour mixture in order that’s what I’ve gone with right here. Primarily, we’re making a crimson wine jus by quickly simmering beef broth and crimson wine in the identical skillet the meat was roasted in till it reduces down into an intense flavoured, extremely savoury sauce.
I like my sauces to have a syrupy consistency so I add a little bit of cornflour (cornstarch) to thicken it. However that is elective – most crimson wine jus should not thickened, they’re fairly runny sauces.
What to serve with Prime Rib
For a high-end restaurant expertise, you possibly can’t go previous Paris Mash(pictured under) – extremely wealthy and creamy mashed potato! Potatoes au gratin is a sublime French potato aspect choice that’s ultimate for making forward. In any other case, wealthy and creamy Cauliflower Cheese is a British roast dinner basic!
