Prime Rib Recipe is the The Dinner That Never Stops Giving

SERVES ABOUT 12. Serving size: One 4-ounce slice.

Ingredients:

Marinade

1 teaspoon granulated garlic

1 teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon lemon pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon French’s Classic Yellow Mustard

5 ribs prime roast of beef

½ cup black coffee (optional)

1. For the marinade, mix together the garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, olive oil, and mustard. Stir well until the ingredients are blended into a smooth mixture.

2. Spread the marinade over the meat, covering it completely.

3. Wrap the meat loosely in aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.

4. About 1 to 2 hours before ready to prepare, remove the meat from the refrigerator and place in a shallow roasting pan, ribs down. (The ribs will act as a rack.) Allow the roast to come to room temperature.

5. While the roast is sitting, preheat the oven to 400°F.

6. Put the roast into the oven and cook for 20 minutes.

7. Insert a meat thermometer into the densest part of the meat. Turn the oven down to 340°F and cook for 1½ hours or until the temperature reaches 165°F for medium. (For well done, cook for an additional hour or until the temperature reaches 180°F; for more rare, reduce the cooking time to 1 hour or until the temperature reaches 140°F.)

8. Remove the roast from the oven and let sit for 20 minutes before carving. Carve and serve.

9. Once finished serving, remove the remaining meat from the bones, wrap the meat and bones separately in aluminum foil, and refrigerate.

10. Pour the leftover drippings into a saucepan and remove the fat. Add the coffee if you like. Salt to taste. Mix well. You now have a just.
