🥘Ingredients

For the Prime Rib

1 prime rib roast 6-7 lbs
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp kosher salt
2 tbsp black pepper

For the Horseradish Cream

1/2 cup sour cream
2 tbsp prepared horseradish
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 500°F.
2Place the prime rib roast in a roasting pan, fat side up.
3Rub the entire roast with olive oil, then generously season with kosher salt and black pepper.
4Ensure the roast is evenly coated.
5Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven.
6Roast for 15 minutes.
7After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
8Continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium-rare.
9This will take approximately 2 hours.
10Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature in the thickest part of the roast.
11Remove the prime rib from the oven.
12Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
13This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
14Cover the roast loosely with aluminum foil during this time.
15While the prime rib is resting, prepare the horseradish cream.
16In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
17Mix well until smooth.
18Once the prime rib has rested, slice it against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices.
19Serve the prime rib with the horseradish cream on the side.
20The horseradish cream adds a tangy kick that complements the rich, juicy meat.

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and can be kept for up to four days. To reheat, place the slices in a low-temperature oven (around 275 degrees) until heated through.

This will help to retain the juices and prevent the meat from drying out. I always recommend serving prime rib with a side of roasted vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes.

The roasted vegetables add a nice contrast in texture and flavor, making for a well-rounded meal. You can also serve it with a fresh salad or some crusty bread to soak up the juices.

Prime rib is a versatile dish that can be served in a variety of ways, making it a great choice for any occasion and for family gatherings.
