My 19 year old college daughter made us prime rib for Christmas 2023 TO PERFECTION following your methods and tips to aT! I was sooo thrilled. Thank you!
3 daugherts I have, other than grilling up some burgers, their husbands all cook, just like I do here. My wife even expects me to dothe dishes too. LOL Seriously I love it, your daughter sounds like an aspiring chef in the making. Cheers
I've been using your 500 degree, 5 minutes x wt. Always works and to me the simplest. But I'll try this 2 day dry-out. We always have prime rib for Christmas. UPDATE: My husband like it roasted this way. The hardest part was whenever I opened the fridge and see that hunk of meat waiting to roast. The temptation to throw it in the oven sooner than 48 hrs was tortuous to my patience.
Chef John is a national treasure. We must protect him at all costs ❤ I went to culinary school but I’m learning so much here. Happy 2023 to all may our best years be ahead of us 🎉
The best and most enjoyable moments on Chef John's channel are his wry asides while imparting solid teaching moments. John . . . I love your dry sense of humor. I mean dry in the non-refrigerated sense. I learn so much in every video.
Made this for Christmas dinner. I've always use the high heat (500 f) for 20-30 minutes then turn the heat off and leave the oven closed to a couple of hours. That's always worked well. But this year I tried Chef John's "low and slow" method and it turned out perfectly! And without the smoke filling the house 😂. Thanks for the easiest and tastiest prime rib I've ever made.
Chef John has a 500f recipe in which he uses 'math' to get a similar product. I have tried the 500f method but the oven gets very dirty and the house fills with smoke. I'm trying this method today.
It's so nice to have a recipe from someone you trust (having tried many of your recipes!) for something important like a Standing Rib Roast on Christmas! Thank you!
Chef John you’ve done it again! I made this for Christmas Eve yesterday and it was a hit. You are a huge reason for why my family thinks I’m such a great cook.
Sometimes I wonder whether I watch chef John for his useful recipes and techniques, his stunning shots of amazing food or his unmatched witty comments, then I realize that I do.
I am going to try this method for the first time today while cooking my prime rib roast for Christmas. I normally do 500 degrees for 5 minutes per pound, turn off the oven, and leave it in the oven for 2 hours, and it always turns out great except 4 years ago when I forgot to turn the oven off and cooked my prime rib roast on 500 degrees for 2 1/2 hours and ruined it. I have never tried it any other way except last Christmas when I cooked it in my air fryer, and it turned out amazing. I can't wait to try your method in a couple hours.
Another way that method fails is when some dope opens the oven without you knowing it and now the temperature is way off and or takes longer to cook because the oven not being on or just stops cooking due to the very low temp. Low and slow is the fail proof method since that scenario if it happens , is easier to recover from.
I used this method for our family New Year's gathering. It was so easy and delicious. I also followed the directions for making the gravy ahead of time. This made meal prep in my tiny so much easier on party day.
I used this recipe for my Christmas prime rib roast. It was my first time cooking it and it turned out amazing. I cooked it a little longer because my husband won't eat it if it's too pink, but despite cooking it for 2.5 hours it came out juicy and cooked all the way through. I would suggest this recipe for your rib roast it was fantastic. Thank you for your hard work! Merry Christmas!
I reserved my prime rib piece 2 days ago at the butchery after seeing your primerib sauce video, thanks so much for the follow up with how to cook the whole prime rib!!
Prime rib was always the go-to recipe for my mother, an excellent cook, when company was coming for dinner--because it was both easy and unfailingly a crowd-pleaser. It was such a relief to see someone not trying to gild the lily with sous vide fanciness or whatever; this video reminded me once again why I have so much respect for Chef John! One point, though, on which I have to respectfully disagree with the master: Uniform pinkness is a fine goal if you're aiming for an impressive photo of the results, or, more importantly, if everyone at the table wants their meat done rare--or medium-rare, or ... But at our house, at least, this was never the case. My grandmother always wanted hers well done. I know ... but there was a simple solution: the first slice was reserved for her, and the rest of us got to enjoy our nicely pink slices. For us, this lack of doneness uniformity added to the perfectness of prime rib as a company meal: not only super easy, it was also super versatile. Merry Christmas, and keep up the good work!
I watched the gravy episode, and drooled. So thanks very much for posting the second part... and making me drool again😆😉 I'm sold. Making both for my xmass dinner, in a toaster oven😯 I've never cooked a standing rib roast, let alone in a toaster oven. I've done plenty of roasted & stuffed chickens, small turkeys also stuffed and many other cuts of beef roasts, broiled steaks, beautiful delicious breads and pies and have had mostly pretty good success. I'm confident I can make my roast pretty tasty. Chef John does a great job explaining all the "whys?". When I can learn a thing that way and add it to how and what I already know about cooking, you almost can't lose. We have to have our dinner on Thurs. due to work schedules so I started preparing last night. To CMA, I just bought a really, really cheap, bone on rib roast. The grocery store I bought it from didn't have anything cryovaced. And the tiny roast I bought was the only one they had in their meat case. Not as much marbling as I'd like, but I have a meat thermometer and not enough $ for a more expensive grade of rib roast, not that they even had any anyway. Pretty sure what I bought I've seen referenced as "cannery grade". What ever the actual grade is and with Chef John's fine instructions and explanations and my trusty thermometer, I know it'll be good at the least. At best it'll be awesome. It is a nice looking hunk of meat other than not much fat. I've tried so many of Chef John's recipes and techniques, I've had to make adjustments along the way due to the toaster oven cooking... but it always turns out, Every. Single. Time. So my deepest appreciation and most sincere thanks to Chef John. You've made my tastebuds & belly very happy over the years and I continue to learn. You're the best! Merry Christmas to You & Yours and a Very Happy New Year.🎄
Success😁 perfectly cooked & delicious. Roasting the bones and veg and then simmering for hours made the most delicious meat flavored "jello" for the gravy. If I can't smoke my rib roast on the grill, I'll roast it this way for sure. Chef John never disappoints. Merry Christmas Everyone & I hope you all enjoy your Christmas dinner as much as I enjoyed mine.🎄
We made this today for our Christmas dinner. We salted and air dried in the fridge for 48 hrs. Just one bone roast for the two of us. Added adobo to the butter rub. Perfection! A new favorite. Happy Holidays!
We made this yesterday, and it turned out amazing. I made a compound butter with smashed garlic, salt, black paper and rosemary and smeared it all over the roast. I roasted it at a slightly lower temperature because I was worried the garlic would burn. Once the interior was at the temp I wanted I cranked the heat up and let the exterior brown a little. So delicious. Happy holidays! 🎄😋
That's the way I've been doing it for decades, from a few days uncovered in the fridge, salted. Then on a rack, (water in bottom of pan) oven @ 300 F until 115-129 F internal. C'est magnific! This man gets it.
Prime rib is easy to cook, the trick is just not to go too hot in the oven (ditch the recipes that roast at 400 degrees F or more). 250, 300, 350, all those temperatures work. The low and slow (~250 F) methods are a no-fail way to produce juicy rare meat, but they don't render the exterior fat as well.
We cook ours at 225 degrees F. It takes about 4 hours for a six to seven pound roast, but it is always perfectly pink from edge to edge with no greying at all
@@joeblow9850 I also do 225 until it hits about 110 internal temp, works out to about 40 mins/lb. BUT I always scrunch it up and tie it to make it more compact before cooking, almost round. Then, let rest uncovered (not covered) for at least 30 mins but over an hour is also fine, doesnt matter. About 40 mins before ready to serve, crank oven up to nuclear (500-525) and allow to preheat at least 20 mins. Place roast back in oven until smoke detectors go off (usually about 10 mins). That will crisp up and brown outside which was lacking in this video). Because you already rested it, it will be ready to slice as soon as you silence the smoke detectors. I have cooked literally hundreds of them over the years and usually start around 12:30 pm for a 5:30 pm serve time for a 6 pound roast.
One method I found for adding crust, cook on stove top, either in a large pan or the roasting pan. I started with the 450 then turn it off but now I do slow. And if you have time, you can go lower, 200, 175, or even 140. I have an oven with a 100 proof setting that I use for reverse sear steaks but I haven't tried that because you can't sear the middle up to temp like a 1.5-2 in steak but I do want to try 100 and then finish with 200-225.
My girlfriend said to me the other day. "Your an awesome cook". And I said "thank chef john". The technics and processes i have learned form his site is mind blowing.
Man I did method X a few times years ago from your channel and it works great. I was newer to cooking then but now i usually cook it normally at 275-300F until 118F and then turn it to 500F for about 10 mins. Always enjoy different methods and this one is pretty straightforward. In this era of cooking EVERYONE should already have a wired/wireless probe thermometer. Theyre dirt cheap now so no excuses.
Merry Christmas! My favorite cut of meat and confirm best way to cook... but at the last before slicing, I get a torch on a few bits of exposed fat as I like a bit of char flavor of the prime rib fat : )
I learned the 2 day salting method from a roasting book my dad gave me several years ago. I use it on my Turkey as well. The method is fantastic for roasting all kinds of meat.
Thank you for all you share with us Chef John. I used your method 2 years ago when I cooked prime rib for Christmas. I’d never cooked prime rib before, so your instruction was essential. It turned out beautifully ❤! This method is even easier 🤗. So now with 2 ways to cook prime rib, I’m no longer intimidated 😊.
Thank you chef John. I never roasted a prime rib, but after seeing your METHOD X of 5 minutes/pound at 500F and 2 hours with oven off, I'm kind of a hero in my home. I just got a 9 pound rib roast and I'm wondering if I should try this method instead as I'm afraid that 45 minutes at 509F might overcook the outer parts of the roast. Anyway, I enjoy your videos and had try other recipes as well. They are amazing and bulletproof. Thank you
4:33 According to recently made up studies!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 My friend I do truly love you. I am laughing so hard I have tears. And I promise you I am going to use that line many times this week at work. I’m a mechanical engineer in an R&D department. Best line ever. Thank you for the cooking knowledge and humor. Your channel has fostered a love for cooking. My family thanks you for all the recent Sunday dinners.
Hi fred! I disagree! This is not the "perfect" technique. It is, however, the safest technique. If you go this low and this slow, you can avoid catastrophe, but you will also miss out on the great sear. I roast a rib roast for the char, baby, the char !. You will enjoy both the char and the velvet "pink" when you proceed to the next level of roasting a standing rib roast, which is the sear of the roast, either before or after the low and slow roast in the oven. Just remember to get that instant meat thermometer ready for use, and use it Happy Holidays!
@michaelsalmon6436 to tell the truth.. This is the second one he made. The first one, where he puts the prime rib in the oven at 500f for 20 minutes per pound. Then shuts off the oven for a couple of hours without opening it is the best one. Crisp outside, soft juicy inside.
I've seen so many shorts and prime rib uploads and i wasn't going to bother until you uploaded a video because none of your videos have ever failed me!
My boss swears by Chef Johns 500 degree method, so when I bought my first prime rib ever to have for tonight’s dinner, he had me sold, since I have tasted my boss’s prime rib before. However, I don’t think my old oven can go to 500. So today I see this new video & I’m going to do this method instead of the Chef’s 500 degree one. Even though I didn’t get a whole day in the fridge to air dry, I’m hoping it will turn out great. The added plus with this method is the pan juices for gravy - my boss had mentioned that with the 500 there are no juices. So wish me luck! Happy Christmas all!
Sat at room temp for almost 5 hours. Weighed it and blasted it at 500 for 62 minutes. I have a thermometer option for my oven and took the rib to 146 degrees. It turned out perfect and sat in the warm oven for just over 2 hours. Thank you, Chef!
Hahaha - "according to recently made-up studies" 😆 I'm following this video on Christmas Day to cook my prepared, slightly smaller, prime rib roast, and then will refer back to your prime rib gravy video to finish that which I've already prepped. May do the Duchess Potatoes, it depends on how much time I have. Thank you for your marvellously instructive videos Chef John - and may you and Michelle and your loved ones enjoy a wonderful Holy Season! Cheers!
Somewhat ironic cause me and my brother wanted to recreate that famous roast beef sandwich from Hoboken NJ with prime rib since it was just the two of us for Christmas. Since we knew it was going to be thinly sliced we knew there was no need to darken the outside so we just dry brined it and I think we just kept it at 350 or 325 until it was between 115-120. After came out and rested, the first cuts were like cutting through a waterfall of juice and we got probably the most even cook we’ve ever gotten on a hunk of meat that size with very little degradation TLDR; Chef John’s method is a certified banger 👌
Hi maryland! Thanks for sharing this experience. How did you do this year? If you pulled your roast at 115-120, your roast would continue to cook at least 15 more degrees, and your roast would be a very delicious 130, at least! Please post back and let us know! Happy Holidays!
Chef John. I remember you teaching me *cue dramatic music*, Method X, when I was in middle school, thank you for helping me start my journey in cooking and continuing to teach
According to recent made up studies LMAO! 🤣 I've been waiting for this and OMG it exceeds my expectations by my Foodwishes 😉 I 100% agree that going beyond medium is just a waste but prime rib deserves a medium rare 🥃
That looks amazing. My Mother-in-law, bless her heart, was a most wonderful cook. She would do a prime rib 3 or 4 times a year and have us over for supper. She always cooked the meat to death. If her roast turned out like yours . It would be back in the oven for another hour or hour and a half. A cut of meat like that is hard on our food budjet, May be some day. Soon I hope. Thank you for your presentation.
So sad!!!! I made a beautiful prime rib yrs ago for Christmas and invited my daughter's grandparents over. It came out perfect, everyone loved it BUT my daughter's dad. It was "raw" and he threw his in a frypan and turned his piece into shoe leather, so sad and a waste.
I did this last year per your video and it was successful. I was having hard time following other people's recipe for a 2lb prime rib. It's just me and my husband and we didn't want to buy too much. Thanks again for your tutorial.
I followed this recipe for slow cooking but instead of butter I placed thick-cut bacon on the top. I removed the bacon when the roast internal temperature reached 100 degrees. The prime rib was purchased from Lobel's with bones (3) and I cut the strings, salted with Hawaiian rock salt and re-tied the meat. Pulled out the roast at 113, covered it and let residual heat do the rest. It was perfect.
Just bought a 6.2 pounder today along with a bag of russets to make potato Romanov for Xmas 🎄 I'm keeping the ribs for myself & my pupper to eat during the Sugar Bowl And I will never, eeeeeever abandon Method X!
Having prime rib tomorrow for our Christmas dinner. My method is no better or worse than many others, but it is foolproof. First thing I do is 48 hours before roasting I remove the meat from the packaging, rinse it, then pat dry with a paper towel. I then liberally sprinkle with sea salt (Redmond's to be precise), then place it back in the fridge to dry age for those 48 hours. This will intensify the roast. After removing from the fridge I season some more with pepper, onion & garlic powder. I brown it all over in a hot iron cast skillet, maybe 4-5 minutes total. After this I place it on a rack and into a covered roasting pan. Before popping it in the oven I insert a thermometer in the thickest part of the roast, then pop it in the oven, with the temp set at 200 deg. I let it cook until the internal temp reaches anywhere from 125-128 deg. I remove the roast from the oven and let sit for a minimum of 20 minutes or until the temperature reaches around 133 degrees. It takes a while for this process to complete due to the super low cooking temp, but it's so freaking worth it. You will have the deepest, pinkest roast from top to bottom that's also incredibly juicy to boot.
This is the second year I'm using this method, also because I have a cool down fan on my oven, lol. It works an absolute treat! Instead of the au jus, I make a prime rib gravy according to Chef John's recipe and it turns out amazing!
Merry Christmas Chef John and to your family! Have been turning to you for years now to make my cooking go to the next next level. Thank you for all you do.
I have used a prime rib recipe of yours with high heat to low heat and resting in oven and it was perfect. I also have seen reverse seaRing that is perfect
Chef John, I have been using your Method X until I replaced my oven last year and could not use that method anymore. I was searching for the best method to roast a 14 lb standing rib roast and came across your "new" method. I followed your recipe and calculated that it may take about 4 3/4 hrs for med rare. I took the roast out to warm up for about 2 1/4 hours. I set the internal temp at 120 deg. and the timer for 3 hrs to check on its progress. Unfortunately, the alert on the thermometer was faulty and did not beep but the timer did ring. When I check the roast, it was already at 122 deg. So I took it out of the oven, covered it with foil. I thought I have ruined a $225 roast. But 2 1/2 hrs later when I served it, the internal temperature was 135 degrees. The roast was a pinky, tender, juicy med rare hunk of meat. Everyone loved it. Next time, I will start the roast a couple of hours later. Thank-you so much for posting your "new" technique. We wish you and yours a safe and happy new year.
Hi pattit! I am dying to learn how you did your beef rib roast this year! Please post back and share more great details about your experience. BTW, I remember being amazed that you and your guests could wait 2+1/2 hours before tearing into that mighty 14 lb standing rib roast.! You must have had a great assortment of appetizers and football games to keep everybody distracted. Happy Holidays, and thanks for sharing the details of your roast from 11 months ago! I gave your comment a big, huge WOW! rating (my very best rating!). .
Gonna try this again because it’s definitely easier than the last time I tried a standing rib roast. I like not having to fuss over searing, reverse searing, changing the temps etc. o
Oh my God! I make your Lemon potatoes and never let down! I've been passing your video around due to the high demand after tasting them. I love the potato in your side dish...do you have a video of how you made it? Would you make one if don't? Blessings, you and your channel have been inspiring me to venture into the kitrtchen and get out of comfort zone...you became my therapy and happy place!

Chef John: ending family food-feuds, one video at a time.
Much love (and many thank you-s!).
We cook ours at 225 degrees F. It takes about 4 hours for a six to seven pound roast, but it is always perfectly pink from edge to edge with no greying at all
What temp do you take it out at and how long do you let it sit before cutting it. Thx 👍
@@joeblow9850 I also do 225 until it hits about 110 internal temp, works out to about 40 mins/lb. BUT I always scrunch it up and tie it to make it more compact before cooking, almost round. Then, let rest uncovered (not covered) for at least 30 mins but over an hour is also fine, doesnt matter. About 40 mins before ready to serve, crank oven up to nuclear (500-525) and allow to preheat at least 20 mins. Place roast back in oven until smoke detectors go off (usually about 10 mins). That will crisp up and brown outside which was lacking in this video). Because you already rested it, it will be ready to slice as soon as you silence the smoke detectors. I have cooked literally hundreds of them over the years and usually start around 12:30 pm for a 5:30 pm serve time for a 6 pound roast.
@@flyoverpeasant8016 This. Exactly. Finishing above 500 until the alarm goes off is a game changer.
One method I found for adding crust, cook on stove top, either in a large pan or the roasting pan. I started with the 450 then turn it off but now I do slow. And if you have time, you can go lower, 200, 175, or even 140. I have an oven with a 100 proof setting that I use for reverse sear steaks but I haven't tried that because you can't sear the middle up to temp like a 1.5-2 in steak but I do want to try 100 and then finish with 200-225.
I’ll try it thanks for sharing
My girlfriend said to me the other day. "Your an awesome cook". And I said "thank chef john". The technics and processes i have learned form his site is mind blowing.
You're
Man I did method X a few times years ago from your channel and it works great. I was newer to cooking then but now i usually cook it normally at 275-300F until 118F and then turn it to 500F for about 10 mins. Always enjoy different methods and this one is pretty straightforward.
In this era of cooking EVERYONE should already have a wired/wireless probe thermometer. Theyre dirt cheap now so no excuses.
Planning this for my shift mates at work on Christmas Day…appreciate the low-maintenance oven work!
Merry Christmas!
My favorite cut of meat and confirm best way to cook... but at the last before slicing, I get a torch on a few bits of exposed fat as I like a bit of char flavor of the prime rib fat : )
hi Kenneth! Great tip! Make certain that you have a fire suppressant blanket nearby, however! Happy Holidays!.
I learned the 2 day salting method from a roasting book my dad gave me several years ago. I use it on my Turkey as well. The method is fantastic for roasting all kinds of meat.
Name of the book, please?
Hey gritchard! It is referenced in the Bible, New Testament, page 1036. Happy Holidays!
Thank you for all you share with us Chef John. I used your method 2 years ago when I cooked prime rib for Christmas. I’d never cooked prime rib before, so your instruction was essential. It turned out beautifully ❤! This method is even easier 🤗. So now with 2 ways to cook prime rib, I’m no longer intimidated 😊.
Thank you chef John. I never roasted a prime rib, but after seeing your METHOD X of 5 minutes/pound at 500F and 2 hours with oven off, I'm kind of a hero in my home. I just got a 9 pound rib roast and I'm wondering if I should try this method instead as I'm afraid that 45 minutes at 509F might overcook the outer parts of the roast. Anyway, I enjoy your videos and had try other recipes as well. They are amazing and bulletproof. Thank you
What did you end up doing for cooking it? Just picked up our 10# prime rib for Christmas day dinner.
Trusted it . Did it. It was perfect. Well done dude.
With the ever amazing Chef John, I WILL be doing any thing that he says is "Optional." The mojo for cooking this man has is incomparable.
4:33 According to recently made up studies!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 My friend I do truly love you. I am laughing so hard I have tears. And I promise you I am going to use that line many times this week at work. I’m a mechanical engineer in an R&D department. Best line ever. Thank you for the cooking knowledge and humor. Your channel has fostered a love for cooking. My family thanks you for all the recent Sunday dinners.
Chef John, thank you so much, for another fantastic recipe! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
The Gravy video Chef John made is AMAZING. Watch the video people. I am following these Exact recipes on Christmas day.
@Food_wishes10 suck it scammer
I hope I don't screw up this $100 roast. I've watched this video 40 times I think this week lol😂
How did it turn out? I'm thinking the same thing about my roast.
Was looking for a comment like this as I’m making it this year and it’ll be my first time. How did it turn out?
No dude, I've cooked Hundreds of full sized standing rib roasts.
It's the perfect technique.
Hi fred! I disagree! This is not the "perfect" technique. It is, however, the safest technique. If you go this low and this slow, you can avoid catastrophe, but you will also miss out on the great sear. I roast a rib roast for the char, baby, the char !.
You will enjoy both the char and the velvet "pink" when you proceed to the next level of roasting a standing rib roast, which is the sear of the roast, either before or after the low and slow roast in the oven. Just remember to get that instant meat thermometer ready for use, and use it Happy Holidays!
@michaelsalmon6436 to tell the truth..
This is the second one he made.
The first one, where he puts the prime rib in the oven at 500f for 20 minutes per pound. Then shuts off the oven for a couple of hours without opening it is the best one. Crisp outside, soft juicy inside.
Chef John gets many mentions in Adam Ragusea's cooking videos. He's a legend.
I've seen so many shorts and prime rib uploads and i wasn't going to bother until you uploaded a video because none of your videos have ever failed me!
Might try this recipe for Christmas. Have a 13 lbs rib in the garage fridge now. Merry Christmas everybody!
We made this prime rib tonight and it was hands down the best we have ever made! Thanks for a great recipe Chef John!
My little girls LOVE to listen to your videos!!! My husband and daughters sit and binge watch together! Lol!!
My boss swears by Chef Johns 500 degree method, so when I bought my first prime rib ever to have for tonight’s dinner, he had me sold, since I have tasted my boss’s prime rib before. However, I don’t think my old oven can go to 500. So today I see this new video & I’m going to do this method instead of the Chef’s 500 degree one. Even though I didn’t get a whole day in the fridge to air dry, I’m hoping it will turn out great. The added plus with this method is the pan juices for gravy - my boss had mentioned that with the 500 there are no juices. So wish me luck! Happy Christmas all!
Right now.....into the oven it goes....Thanks so much Chef John. Merry Christmas!!
Make this I do it every time and it comes out great!!!!!!
If I can get my hands on some prime rib, I WILL give this a try soon! Looks like the perfect christmas dish to me! Thank you for sharing!
Pretty easy. They sell it at the grocery store
@@joshuawillett850 at our stores, I found ribeye roast which is the same cut. Not sure why it has different names.
@@joshuawillett850 not in Germany, unfortunately. But I hope I'll find a butcher that is selling it...
Zee better hurry. UN mandates only 3oz of beef once every 6 years because of zee CO2.
Mele Kalikimaka Chef John and thank you for all your wonderful and fun videos!
I did the X method last year and it was perfect, after I dry aged it for 12 days
I prefer to dry age for days as well, but my wife thinks that will make her sick.
Yes, she’s a lousy cook.
@@Ira88881hahahaha. Same. My wife thinks under cooked chicken = tender
I love Chef John’s sense of humor so much.
Sat at room temp for almost 5 hours. Weighed it and blasted it at 500 for 62 minutes. I have a thermometer option for my oven and took the rib to 146 degrees. It turned out perfect and sat in the warm oven for just over 2 hours. Thank you, Chef!
Very humorous delivery. The outcome looks delicious. Will try the next time my wife lets me buy a rib roast.
Hahaha - "according to recently made-up studies" 😆
I'm following this video on Christmas Day to cook my prepared, slightly smaller, prime rib roast, and then will refer back to your prime rib gravy video to finish that which I've already prepped. May do the Duchess Potatoes, it depends on how much time I have. Thank you for your marvellously instructive videos Chef John - and may you and Michelle and your loved ones enjoy a wonderful Holy Season!
Cheers!
Somewhat ironic cause me and my brother wanted to recreate that famous roast beef sandwich from Hoboken NJ with prime rib since it was just the two of us for Christmas. Since we knew it was going to be thinly sliced we knew there was no need to darken the outside so we just dry brined it and I think we just kept it at 350 or 325 until it was between 115-120. After came out and rested, the first cuts were like cutting through a waterfall of juice and we got probably the most even cook we’ve ever gotten on a hunk of meat that size with very little degradation
TLDR; Chef John’s method is a certified banger 👌
Hi maryland! Thanks for sharing this experience. How did you do this year? If you pulled your roast at 115-120, your roast would continue to cook at least 15 more degrees, and your roast would be a very delicious 130, at least! Please post back and let us know! Happy Holidays!
I JUST BOUGHTA PRIME RIB TODAY! Thank you so much chef john!!
Chef John. I remember you teaching me *cue dramatic music*, Method X, when I was in middle school, thank you for helping me start my journey in cooking and continuing to teach
Thank you for being you, Chef.
Your approach gave the best results of all that have been tried in the past. Thanks!
According to recent made up studies LMAO! 🤣
I've been waiting for this and OMG it exceeds my expectations by my Foodwishes 😉
I 100% agree that going beyond medium is just a waste but prime rib deserves a medium rare 🥃
I've been using your fool proof method for years but did it with a 13 pound prime rib on Sunday, came out perfectly as usual
Thank you John. This is the method I will use this year, easy peasy, no fuss method. Thanks for your recipes.
we do alllllwaaaays... enjoy your recipes chef. Have a wonderful holiday ❤❤
That looks amazing. My Mother-in-law, bless her heart, was a most wonderful cook. She would do a prime rib 3 or 4 times a year and have us over for supper. She always cooked the meat to death. If her roast turned out like yours . It would be back in the oven for another hour or hour and a half. A cut of meat like that is hard on our food budjet, May be some day. Soon I hope. Thank you for your presentation.
So sad!!!! I made a beautiful prime rib yrs ago for Christmas and invited my daughter's grandparents over. It came out perfect, everyone loved it BUT my daughter's dad. It was "raw" and he threw his in a frypan and turned his piece into shoe leather, so sad and a waste.
I've been using your Perfect Prime Rib recipe for years. Absolutely going to try this next time, though!
I did this last year per your video and it was successful. I was having hard time following other people's recipe for a 2lb prime rib. It's just me and my husband and we didn't want to buy too much. Thanks again for your tutorial.
One of the best simple methods. It’s really good. I like keeping the bones attached.
I followed this recipe for slow cooking but instead of butter I placed thick-cut bacon on the top. I removed the bacon when the roast internal temperature reached 100 degrees. The prime rib was purchased from Lobel's with bones (3) and I cut the strings, salted with Hawaiian rock salt and re-tied the meat. Pulled out the roast at 113, covered it and let residual heat do the rest. It was perfect.
Chef John is always my go-too for anything. Thank you Chef John!🍺
I use this one each year. It's awesome!
Just bought a 6.2 pounder today along with a bag of russets to make potato Romanov for Xmas 🎄
I'm keeping the ribs for myself & my pupper to eat during the Sugar Bowl
And I will never, eeeeeever abandon Method X!
Made this today. It was perfectly medium. Thank you Chef John, big fan from DE.
Chef you are a rockstar. This is such a simple, easy technique. 🥰 thank u 👍🏻😊
CHEF JOHN! I ADORE YOU THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME COOK. I am a better cook because of you and I'm proud. Merry Christmas.
Having prime rib tomorrow for our Christmas dinner. My method is no better or worse than many others, but it is foolproof. First thing I do is 48 hours before roasting I remove the meat from the packaging, rinse it, then pat dry with a paper towel. I then liberally sprinkle with sea salt (Redmond's to be precise), then place it back in the fridge to dry age for those 48 hours. This will intensify the roast. After removing from the fridge I season some more with pepper, onion & garlic powder. I brown it all over in a hot iron cast skillet, maybe 4-5 minutes total. After this I place it on a rack and into a covered roasting pan.
Before popping it in the oven I insert a thermometer in the thickest part of the roast, then pop it in the oven, with the temp set at 200 deg. I let it cook until the internal temp reaches anywhere from 125-128 deg. I remove the roast from the oven and let sit for a minimum of 20 minutes or until the temperature reaches around 133 degrees. It takes a while for this process to complete due to the super low cooking temp, but it's so freaking worth it. You will have the deepest, pinkest roast from top to bottom that's also incredibly juicy to boot.
I am going to use this method on tomorrow’s Christmas prime rib. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!!
Hi Italian! U are too late! You need to get your roast dry brining 48 hours before your roast day! Better luck next season! Happy Holidays!
Actually, from last year - it turned out great!!@@michaelsalmon6436
You are helpful, encouraging and funny. Thanks for the insight and teaching.
Thank you chef John! You are my go to when I need a great recipe.
My Father-in-law turns 92 today and this is what he wants, so this is what he gets! Thanks!
Good man
That gravy video was awesome!
This is the second year I'm using this method, also because I have a cool down fan on my oven, lol. It works an absolute treat! Instead of the au jus, I make a prime rib gravy according to Chef John's recipe and it turns out amazing!
Chef John, you are the best--easy to follow--and so much fun! Thank you for making my cooking thoroughly enjoyable!
Merry Christmas Chef John and to your family! Have been turning to you for years now to make my cooking go to the next next level. Thank you for all you do.
You're method sounds so easy and looks amazing. Going to try this!!!
I use softened butter salt, pepper, garlic powder and Herbs de Provence. Tastes amazing.
Just watched your recipe for this two days ago and made it. It was from like 11 years ago when you posed that one.
I have used a prime rib recipe of yours with high heat to low heat and resting in oven and it was perfect. I also have seen reverse seaRing that is perfect
Would slightly scoring the fat cap allow the salt to permeate a bit better?
Chef John, I have been using your Method X until I replaced my oven last year and could not use that method anymore. I was searching for the best method to roast a 14 lb standing rib roast and came across your "new" method. I followed your recipe and calculated that it may take about 4 3/4 hrs for med rare. I took the roast out to warm up for about 2 1/4 hours. I set the internal temp at 120 deg. and the timer for 3 hrs to check on its progress. Unfortunately, the alert on the thermometer was faulty and did not beep but the timer did ring. When I check the roast, it was already at 122 deg. So I took it out of the oven, covered it with foil. I thought I have ruined a $225 roast. But 2 1/2 hrs later when I served it, the internal temperature was 135 degrees. The roast was a pinky, tender, juicy med rare hunk of meat. Everyone loved it. Next time, I will start the roast a couple of hours later. Thank-you so much for posting your "new" technique. We wish you and yours a safe and happy new year.
Hi pattit! I am dying to learn how you did your beef rib roast this year! Please post back and share more great details about your experience.
BTW, I remember being amazed that you and your guests could wait 2+1/2 hours before tearing into that mighty 14 lb standing rib roast.! You must have had a great assortment of appetizers and football games to keep everybody distracted. Happy Holidays, and thanks for sharing the details of your roast from 11 months ago! I gave your comment a big, huge WOW! rating (my very best rating!). .
I love love your original recipe for prime rib 😁 the herbs of provens are a game changer
That prime rib was cooked perfectly !
Gonna try this again because it’s definitely easier than the last time I tried a standing rib roast. I like not having to fuss over searing, reverse searing, changing the temps etc. o
Oh my God! I make your Lemon potatoes and never let down! I've been passing your video around due to the high demand after tasting them. I love the potato in your side dish...do you have a video of how you made it? Would you make one if don't? Blessings, you and your channel have been inspiring me to venture into the kitrtchen and get out of comfort zone...you became my therapy and happy place!
Found the video: Duchess potatoes! Thank you guru all inspiring mentor!
Ingenious use of that water bath! Nice trick.
I made this last year for Christmas. It was quite the Roast Beast!
Merry Christmas from Bavaria, Chef John! And thank you for the many great recipes in 2022. 💖
You are after all the Mr Pibb, of your Prime Rib!
