Ingredients:
- 1 Bone-in Prime Rib (approx. 9 lbs)
- 4 tbsp Coarse Kosher Salt
- 2 tbsp Cracked Black Peppercorns
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh Rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh Thyme, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 2 cups High-quality Beef Bone Broth
- 1 cup Dry Red Wine (Cabernet or Merlot)
- 2 Shallots, minced
- 2 tbsp Cold Unsalted Butter
- 5 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 tbsp White Truffle Oil
- Salt and White Pepper to taste
Instructions:
- At least 24 hours before cooking, pat the prime rib dry. Combine kosher salt, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic. Rub the mixture over the entire roast. Place uncovered on a wire rack in the refrigerator to dry brine.
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Slather the softened 1/2 cup of butter over the roast. Insert a digital meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding the bone.
- Roast until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for rare or 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, approximately 20–25 minutes per pound.
- Remove the roast from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- While the meat rests, boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Pass through a ricer or mash, then fold in heavy cream, 1/2 cup butter, and truffle oil. Season with salt and white pepper.
- Prepare the jus by simmering the red wine and shallots in the roasting pan drippings. Add beef broth and reduce by half. Whisk in 2 tbsp of cold butter at the end for a glossy finish.
- Increase oven heat to 500°F (260°C). Return the roast to the oven for 6–10 minutes until a deep mahogany crust forms. Slice and serve immediately with the jus and potatoes.
