How to make Holiday Reverse Seared Prime Rib

Directions 📝

Homework: At Least the Day Before the Class 📖

1. Once you receive your kit of ingredients, remove the beef from the packaging, pat dry with paper towels, and season generously on all sides with salt and pepper.

2. Transfer the beef to a plate or a tray and place in the refrigerator, uncovered.  Ideally, you want to begin drying out the beef at least for 24 hours and can do this up to 3 days in advance.

Homework: 4 Hours Before the Class 📖

1. Remove the prime rib from the fridge and allow it to temper for 1 hour on your countertop.

2. Preheat the oven to 250F.
3. Once the prime rib has tempered for 1 hour, coat the prime rib with 2 tablespoons of oil, and place it onto the rack inside of your roasting pan.
4. Once the oven is preheated, transfer the prime rib into the oven.  It is going to take around 3 ½ to 4 hours for the beef to reach an internal temperature of 130F, which is what we want for a solid medium rare to medium.

PREP 🔪

2. Ensure that your prime rib is looking beautiful in the oven and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 130F.

9. Transfer the contents of the roasting pan to the medium pot and continue to reduce the wine over medium high heat until there are only 2 tablespoons of wine left in the pan.
10. Add the stock to the pan and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat to a very low simmer and season the sauce with Worcestershire sauce, Balinese Truffle Salt, and black pepper to taste.
11. Once the au jus tastes delicious, strain it into a new pot, cover the pot, and reserve it on the stove.
12. Once the oven has reached 550F, it’s time to sear the beef!
13. Transfer the beef back into the roasting pan and place into the oven.
