My dad made a prime rib roast every holiday because he didn’t like turkey or ham. He always did the 500 then 250 technique and the grey ring was always there. I wish he was still around so I could show this to him and help him make it like this. Miss you dad.
That’s the technique I use, and I get the grey band as well. I want to try this, but I’m curious what temp the roast should be after the 250° roasting, but before turning up the heat.
@@aberdeendh I pull mine at around 115-118° then wrap tightly in foil for an hour while I prep dinner then back at 500 until I like the look I get a more rare side of medium rare this way and it really turns out nicely
Sorry about your dad. BTW, the chef said to do reverse sear >>> it is 250 to cook the meat first and then 500 to broil/sear the meat. Otherwise, you get greyband in the meat. The same thing happens if you pan sear the meat first and then put it to roast in oven.
Reverse sear is the way to go. Also starting the roast at like 200 for the first half hour and bring up the temp super slow to 225 max will ensure you don't have the grey ring.
You will leartn how the industry works and yet masy not become a master chef! Tough industry, just like the music and acting industry but on a larger scale!
Two years ago I did a similar roast following Alton Browns video. His method is similar but he dries( not brines) his roast for a week in the fridge without the salt and wrapped in cheesecloth. He also cooks at 250 degrees F, but he recommends using a thermometer so you can pull the roast when the internal is 118F. Then you rest the roast out of the oven for at least a half hour before putting it in to sear at 450 - 500 degrees. The results were awesome.
Replying to BradiKal61: Thank you. I was wondering what internal temp to pull it out of the oven and what final temp to be. I'm thinking he cut that purely down the middle So if im.someone who enjoys medium id be happier with the end pieces? Maybe medium on the ends with medium rare inside. Thus happy guests with various doneness requests?
Frank Proto is a culinary genius. I watched his videos and tried a few immediately. Best tutorials on UA-cam. Thank you Frank for all your instruction and helpful technique tips.
Something I like to do with spent vegetables like that is just blend them totally smooth and then use it to add some body to soups. A big spoonful is a great addition to a bowl of instant noodles haha
There are so many ways to cook a prime rib and this is the PREP/COOKING method I use (salt and pepper,in the frig for 24hrs, slow roast at 250F etc...) but I prefer to make a butter, rosemary, tyme, garlic rub instead of only salt and pepper.
I do the same technique but I do a sear in cast iron before it goes in the oven. And I always use a probe for temping. Pretty much fool proof. Excellent presentation, Chef.
I'm going to do this for my prime rib this year. By combining it with another reverse sear recipe. Both of these together should make an absolute awesome roast. I agree. I like the idea of not having that gray ring.
i like the part at like 10 min where he forgets he's being recorded, the hindbrain takes over and, almost with frustration, he just whispers "I can't wait to taste it"... i know that feeling Frank. I know that feeling.
I've always been a grill/griddle guy, but this year I'm making my family a prime rib for Christmas Day. Thanks so much Frank! This video came in clutch.
Everything you do looks amazing, and I love learning new techniques and tricks to use at my job... BTW: If you want to keep MORE heat, turn the glossy side of the foil towards the meat... It's the reflective part... It reflects light AND heat waves... PS: I'm SURE you already knew that, so I'm sorry in advance for butting in... I guess I just wanted to sound bright for 2 seconds... LOL!!!
Made this for Christmas dinner just like he said. All I can say I died and went to heaven . Absolutely the best I have ever cooked a prime rib. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Except it's not really explained that well, or all the steps shown very clearly... And sometimes I greatly disagree with his advice. Look at how other people do these things as well. I like his up-beat attitude, though.
Two big points missing which could ruin your roast. This recipe is missing is 1) a thermometer. It's nearly impossible to determine what temp the roast is without a thermometer... and checking periodically. Especially when it get's close to temp, you don't want to walk away; and 2) along the same lines of temperature, there is carry over cooking which will increase the temp by 5F-10F+ degrees after you take out the roast. So if you want medium rare... take out the roast when it temps to 115F-120F. If you pull your roast out when it temps the 125F... you'll likely end up with medium, or worse, you pull it out at 135F-140F,... can carryover can be 10F or more, it'll be well done.
I would personally use a meat thermometer to time when to take it out. Also after it has rested I prefer to put it back into the oven at 500f for 8-10 minutes to crisp it up more.
Absolutely spot on cooking 👌. I, too, think rib roast is best is the medium to medium rare range. Here's a hot take, though... I think the spinalis cooked at least medium, but preferably medium well, is the hot ticket. It's got superior texture that way - not quite as rubbery and slimy feeling.
I love Horseradish with Prime Rib. But, I did notice the texture of the one he use seems to be rather chunky. I wonder what else he put in it, or perhaps just the horseradish wasn't ground too finely.
My dad makes his prime rib like this only he cold smokes it for about 8 hours and then finishes it on a high heat grill to char the outside. Still think its the best I've ever had.
Over several yrs ago I ,ade a secret menu item in the local casino's restaurant whenever I order their daily prime rib special. I got it grilled medium rare which ends up just below medium with the surface being seared with grill marks and sealing the juice resulting in having a different flavor profile. It's not advertised or promoted by the staff but I've seen others order it again sinc I started it after seeing me order my steak this way.
He skipped the part where he put in in the oven at 500 degrees. @ 6:20 He pulled it out after the slow cooking and went straight to resting. He talked about doing it but did not show us.
I noticed that you did not use a meat thermometer? I do not trust my eyeballing the roast. At what temperature do you crank up the heat and then how long? Just worried about over doing the meat. A couple of tips there would be useful. Thanks for the great lessons.
It's been 6 years since I made prime rib (excellent btw with Yorkshire pudding) since I'm now retired and poor😊. So I'm just watching this for the drool factor!
Back in the mid 80s my mom tried this at $5.25/pound. That was an over the top price for meat back then. The results were not the best with the 550 oven then shut it off for 2 hours and don't look at it method. They were always medium to medium well. Meat thermometers were barely a thing back then but when I became an adult the reverse sear was the only way. Lots of people slow roasted and seared at the end even before youtube. Reverse sear was not a term but people did it. My stepdad came into the picture in 1999 and his family had been doing it long enough to be a tradition.
His prime looks amazing but there is too little info. Like you said, what temp do I cook it until during the initial cooking at 250°. If my roast is smaller than this one, do I still cook it for the same time? What about the 500° cook, does that time get adjusted based on weight?
@@aberdeendh1st sear you wanna cook to just below medium rare 120-125 then take out and let it rest for 30 mins. Time will vary on weight and initial temperature of the meat. using a wired thermometer while meat is roasting in the oven helps tremendously!

Truthfully it's a better technique, I add the salt the day before I cook mine to brine. It's basically full proof.
How can you "dry brine" without salt? Did you mean dry age?
Don’t forget making the Yorkshire pudding with the meat drippings.
You're correct, it's not dry brining as much as just DRYING the meat and supposedly concentrating the flavor.

You can freeze the puree into an ice cube tray to keep it and portion out the “spoonfuls”
Doesn't get bitter after bleeding?
"I'm not going to be shy with the salt."
Frank, when are you ever??
With a cut like that, now is no time for caution.
I like to add wine to the mirepoix before I put the roast in the oven. It really elevates the au jus.
Hands down whether red or white wine

Looks delicious! I’m making it for Christmas.
I love how he’s concerned with people being able to afford a roasting pan while teaching them how to cook a $300 piece of meat
Did he say that's how much this one cost? That seems really high.
@@jeffdean4386he said it was 13 pounds. 19 bucks a pound seems to be the average so about 250
so, you just charge everyone $20 a head. A mere pittance for restaurant quality prime rib.
It’s not $300 tho
@@spinningbackspin try 55 at the restaurant Looks delishi.
Only thing I would add is a bit of red wine to the Jus and let it cook in. Will make a world of difference...
And I like a bit more rosemary, chopped and added with the salt. It's my fave herb for prime rib.
Any particular kind of red wine?
@@Aeroman08use one that you will drink

Beautifully done,
You could tell us what temp to pull it out!!

The only way without a thermometer is experience and knowing weight of meat and having a reliable temp oven
When he cut into it my mouth watered😂
YES... Mine too.
Making this today 👍
the best one I did was sous vide , after into dehydrator for 30 min , and oven 500F to get color 10-15 min
Looks fantastic!!

I wish I could make this without my partner complaining- it's raw!
Might wanna change your partner...
My other half likes well done - so I always get her a cheaper cut of meat and wait until it's half cooked before putting mine on.
Put their slices back in the oven while getting everything else ready
“Into the microwave, Honey!”
Just cook hers longer Jfc is it that difficult?

That’s what I want to know too.
my heart! 😍😋
Similar to sous vide, I thought that with a reverse sear, you didn't have to rest the meat after cooking. 🤔
You rest it between your main cook and the reverse sear. So after you take it out of the 500F oven, you don't need to let it rest again.
Great video! How many pounds is that? Thanks
5:52 Yall skipped the final 500F sear 😂
Does 250 degrees for 3hrs apply no matter the lbs? Does anyone know how much the internal temperature should be before cranking it up to 500?

Crowd: *act surprised*
Unless I’m crazy and somehow missed it , it didn’t seem like you ever showed the step where you put it in at 500° for 10 to 15 minutes?
How do I get 3-4 hrs of roast time on 13lbs? Mines 12lb and at 25mins per lb is like almost 5-6 hrs
Mine is in the oven now the place smells amazing I did the 500 degree oven then turned off the oven for 2 hours let’s see how it comes out!
