To ring in the New Year, we invite friends for dinner. A menu featuring tender prime rib is festive, yet simple to prepare. A pepper rub and mild horseradish sauce complement the beef's great flavor. —Paula Zsiray, Logan, Utah

Prime Rib with Horseradish Sauce Recipe

Prep: 5 min. Bake: 3 hours

Yield: 6-8 Servings

5 180 185

Ingredients

1 bone-in beef rib roast (4 to 6 pounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 to 2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
HORSERADISH SAUCE:
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
3 to 4 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Brush roast with oil; rub with pepper. Place roast, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to 325°. Bake for 2-3/4 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°), basting with pan drippings every 30 minutes.
Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Serve with beef. Yield: 6-8 servings.

There is no way of making a mistake with this prime rib recipe. The horseradish sauce was not too hot as to enjoy the prime rib. I did use an electronic meat thermometer to let me know when it was cooked to perfection. Easy enough to make, impressive enough for dinner guests.

I DO A FEW THINGS DIFFERENT; I RUB MY ROAST WITH OIL, GARLIC AND MONTREAL STEAK SEASONINGS, AND LOTS OF PEPPER. I COVER MY ROAST WELL WITH THESE SEASONINGS. THEN I PLACE ON RACK IN PAN FAT SIDE UP. PLACE MEAT THERMOMETER INTO CENTER OF ROAST. PLACE IN 425 DEGREE OVEN FOR 1 HR. TURN OFF OVEN, ITS STILL COOKING, DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR, NO PEAKING. LET SET IN OVEN 2 HRS...TIL THERMOMETER REACHES 140 MED RARE-150 DEGREES FOR MEDIUM, IS PINK IN CENTER. 160 FOR WELL DONE ITS ALL DONE AND YUMMMMY. ENJOY WITH AUJUS AND HORSERADISH. FLAVOR IS OUT OF THIS WORLD....TRUST ME ON THIS ONE. MY HUSBAND LOVED THIS FLAVOR....FREDA

I have been a subscriber to TOH and S & D for 10 years and have tried 100's of recipes during this time, all good. But this recipe, just as it is, is the most heavenly, fantastic and special meal you could ever make. This has become our Christmas Eve tradition. Invite your family, or your very best friends and enjoy!

For Christmas Day I cooked a 6.5 pound Prime Rib for my family using this recipe as a guide. It was delicious! I made a few enhancements: First, I rubbed the prime rib with 2 T of Balsamic vinegar (a hint from a chef friend!). I increased the olive oil rub to 2 T and added minced garlic, along with 1 T of finely diced fresh rosemary and fresh thyme. (Be sure to line your roasting pan with aluminum foil or use a cooking spray to help with clean up!) Along with the delicious horseradish sauce in this recipe, I also served heated au jus sauce (packaged).

My family loves prime rib, but I had never made it at home. This last New Year's, I finally decided to give it a try. I used this recipe as a guide, and it came out wonderfully! I even made it again for my husband's birthday in April! Thanks for a great recipe!!

Thank you, I also check temps and times. I also needed a way to serve horseradish with this roast without it being too strong. I think my family will enjoy the sauce that accompanies this recipe.
