Marinated Burgundy Prime Rib

The prime rib is perfect for the holiday season for a very good reason and this Marinated Burgundy Prime Rib roast is superb in flavor!

It is the king of beef cuts period.

This is a vintage recipe for the 1960s and how my mom made it.

After all these years, it still a family favorite recipe.

My husband requested this for his birthday since it's on New Year's Eve!

It’s called a standing rib roast because to cook it, you position the roast majestically on its rib bones in the roasting pan.

Beautifully marbled with fat, this roast is rich, juicy, and with this marinade a melt in your mouth tender roast.

It’s also very easy to cook.

Starting the roast in the oven at a high temperature of 450 degrees to get a good sear on the outside of the roast and then you finish cooking it on a lower temperature of 325 degrees.

How it Cooks

There’s usually something for everyone with this roast as my family loves it well done. I wish there were more ends!

That's where you will find the well-done parts of the prime rib.

The center should be a vibrant rare and my husband loves it rare.

A full rack of prime beef is 7 ribs, which will easily serve 14 to 16 people refer to my options below.

Prime Rib marinade day before cooking:

Blend together herbs 1/2 teaspoon each oregano, basil, parsley, minced garlic, salt, pepper to taste. With rib roast rib side up, add 2 tablespoons of butter and smear all over the prime rib first.
Sprinkle with herbs.

Pour 1/4 cup of red wine on the bottom of the pan. Marinade overnight.

Place meat in a roasting pan.

Sear meat on a hot heated oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes then lower to 325 degrees to cook for the remaining of the time.

Do not cover, baste every 15 minutes I use a meat digital thermometer.

The thermometer reading should be at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-rare,

and 170 degrees F (76 degrees C) for well done.

Remove roasting pan from oven, place aluminum foil over roast, and let rest for about 30 minutes before slicing.

Serve with Au Jus.

Au Jus is a French term meaning with juice.

The term is used to describe the serving of meat, most often prime rib roast, surrounded in or served with a container of the natural juices that were produced as drippings while the meat while being cooked.

It is not sauce or gravy.

I use a red burgundy wine in mine.

Beef drippings from cooked Prime Rib Roast, Beef broth/stock canned and Red wine (of your choice) you have to determine how much you need by the number of people.

Add those three ingredients together and heat. Add a little garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

Set aside.

These are two sandwiches one with barbecue on the leftover beef or Italian dressing on the other sandwich with leftover thin slice beef roast

Leftover Meat

Here's what I do with leftover Prime Rib.

We love it in ciabatta garlic bread, Italian dressing and thin-sliced leftover prime rib or use your favorite barbecue sauce.

Also, another alternative is using a store-bought double pie crust, add the prime rib to the pie crust, some vegetables and beef gravy for a delicious quick pot pie, check out my recipe here.
