Have you ever overcooked a prime rib roast? There might not be a sadder sight, but don’t worry – Nancy Jo Bateman from the North Dakota Beef Commission takes the guess work out of preparing a perfect prime rib as well as provides some interesting recipes to spice up your holiday favorite.
Some helpful tips
1. NO liquid in the roasting pan. The liquid will steam and cause the roast to cook unevenly.
2. Use a good meat thermometer and remove the roast BEFORE it hits the desired temp. The meat will continue to cook on the countertop and waiting for the desired temperature in the oven will often cause the meat to end up over cooked.
3. Use the drippings for au jus, but the store bought add ons are also tasty – especially if you have a large crowd.
4. Plan for 3/4 pound per person before cooking weight. No one wants to send guests home hungry.
5. Use your hands when adding salt, pepper and garlic. Realllllllllly coat the outside of the roast to create that alluring crust on the outside.
Some of the recipes that Nancy Jo shared with us include:
BLUE CHEESE BUTTER
1 Cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese
4 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
2 teaspoons jalapeno pepper sauce (like Tobasco)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Combine the ingredients above thoroughly and serve on top of WARM steak. It should melt a bit and add a new and exciting flavor.
—Tip— JJ made this and loved it – though he substituted the pepper sauce for horseradish!
ESPRESSO-BOURBON SAUCE
2 Tablespoons finely ground espresso coffee beans
1 tablespoon garlic pepper
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
Combine the rub and generously rub the coating onto the meat
