Hi

I am from Denmark, and during my recent trip to California I had some excellent prime rib. This I have got to recreate!! But how is it done?? I was told that it has to roast for 3-4 hours or more in the own... how do you do that and how do you avoid it getting dry ???

Best regrds Jacob

The way I do my roasts is as follows. Make sure your meat is at room temperature.Pat your meat dry and smear it all over with a mixture of butter at room temperature and dried mustard. To a 1/4 lb of butter add 2 tsp of dried mustard and mix together. Put in a shallow pan a rack on the bottom and your roast on top of the rack.
Set your oven at 250 degrees or 120 Celcius and cook your roast beef for one hour for every pound of meat. A six pound roast will cook for six hours. This process will give you a medium rare roast beef. Use a thermometer to check the doneness of your meat.Remember to cook it about 5-7 degrees less than you want it because you will cover your meat tightly with foil after you take it out of the oven and the meat will continue to cook. This allows the juices to flow throughout the meat and tenderize the meat at the same time. It is very important to cover the meat. This goes for any type of meat or poultry. The results will be great. Hope I helped.
Enjoy

Thanks a million times! I'll try that asap - it still surprices me that it does not get dry spending that long in the oven, but if you say so

Yes you can but it is not always necessary. By slow cooking you are breaking down the fibres and muscle and therefore it becomes more tender. That is why slow cookers are so popular for cheap cuts of meat. They cook slowly for 7-8 hours and become tender. A good quality roast can be cooked at 350 degrees F or 180 C for 25 minutes per pound for a medium cooked roast. Remember always use a meat thermometer and cook your meat about 10 degrees F less than you want it. Cover tightly with alumimium foil and let sit about 10-15 minutes and the meat keeps on cooking. Keep the thermometer in the meat so that you can see the progress. Just stick it through the foil.

This is my recipe that I found years ago and I have made my prime ribs only this way. They always come out PERFECT
Use Any size prime rib
1. Rub olive oil and salt and pepper over entire roast
2. Place beef in roasting pan, uncovered
3. Place in 375 degree oven for 1 hour
4. Turn oven off but DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR AT ALL!!!!
5. Follow the following times for degree of doneness (all at 300 degree oven)

RARE: 45 minutes before serving time turn on oven
MEDIUM: 50 minutes before serving time turn on oven
MEDIUM WELL DONE: 55 minutes before serving time turn on oven

May be started in mid afternoon. Just remember - DON'T PEEK!!!
