Description

Savory Prime Rib by Paula Deen promises a luxurious dining experience with its perfectly seasoned, tender meat. Rich herbs and precise roasting techniques guarantee a memorable meal that impresses guests and satisfies carnivore cravings.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 (5-lb) standing rib roast

Seasonings:

  • 1 tablespoon Paula Deen’s House Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Remove the prime rib roast from the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before cooking, allowing it to reach room temperature for uniform heat distribution and more consistent cooking.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C), ensuring the cooking environment is perfectly calibrated for the roast.
  3. Pat the entire roast dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a better exterior crust during roasting.
  4. Generously coat the roast with Paula Deen’s House Seasoning, massaging the spices into every surface to enhance flavor penetration and create a delectable outer layer.
  5. Select a heavy-duty roasting pan with a rack to elevate the meat, positioning the roast with the fatty side facing upward and rib bones facing downward for optimal heat circulation.
  6. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding contact with bone or fat for an accurate internal temperature reading.
  7. Carefully place the roast in the preheated oven and cook for precisely 1 hour, maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the roasting process.
  8. After 1 hour, immediately turn off the oven but do not open the door, allowing residual heat to continue cooking the meat gently and preventing moisture loss.
  9. Leave the roast undisturbed in the closed oven for an additional 3 hours, creating a slow-cooking environment that ensures a perfectly medium-rare result.
  10. Approximately 30 to 45 minutes before serving, reheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C) to warm the roast to an ideal serving temperature.
  11. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving, allowing juices to redistribute and ensuring a succulent eating experience.

Notes

  • Slow cooking transforms tough meat into a tender masterpiece with minimal effort. This method breaks down connective tissues, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture that will impress your guests.
  • Careful temperature monitoring prevents dry, overcooked meat. A reliable meat thermometer becomes your best kitchen companion for achieving perfect doneness every single time.
  • Resting meat after cooking allows juices to redistribute throughout the roast. This crucial step ensures each slice remains incredibly moist and flavorful from edge to center.
  • Room temperature meat ensures even cooking and prevents tough, uneven results. Give your roast at least an hour to warm up before sliding it into the oven.
  • Selecting a well-marbled cut guarantees rich flavor and exceptional tenderness. Look for meat with visible fat streaks that will naturally baste the roast during cooking.
