Prime Rib with Horseradish and Garlic Crust
Family Christmas Favorite!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Lay the beef in a large roasting pan with the bone side down. (The ribs act as a natural roasting rack.) In a food processor, mix together the garlic, horseradish, fresh herbs, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make a paste. Massage the paste generously over the top of the roast.
Put the pan in the oven and roast the beef for about 30 minutes to seal the crust, then drop the temp to 325 for teh remainder of cooking. 1 to 1½ hours for medium-rare (or approximately 20 minutes per pound). Check the internal temperature of the roast in several places with an instant-read thermometer; it should register 125 degrees F. for medium-rare.
Remove the beef to a carving board and let it rest for 20 minutes. The internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise by about 10 degrees.
REMOVE THE CRUST BEFORE CARVING!!!!
