Ingredients
- 1 cup salt
- 1/2 cup cracked black pepper
- 1 (about 5-7 pounds) veal rib roast, bone-in and trimmed
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 10 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 2 to 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary, leaves removed and stems discarded
- 1 cup Creole Mustard, or other whole-grain mustard
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heavily season the entire roast with kosher salt and pepper. Wrap the roast tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours. Remove the roast from the refrigerator, rinse off the salt and pat dry. Set aside. In a blender, combine the onions, garlic, rosemary, mustard and oil. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Using a paring knife, make several slits in the veal roast. Stuff the slits and rub the entire veal roast with the mustard mixture. Place on a rack in a roasting pan and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Remove the roast from the refrigerator and discard the plastic wrap. Bring the roast to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue cooking for about 3 hours for medium rare. During the last half-hour of cooking, check the roast occasionally with a meat thermometer, when the temperature reaches 135 degrees F, remove from the oven. Allow the roast to rest for about 20 to 25 minutes for the perfect medium-rare. The cooking times may vary because one oven may cook differently then the other. Also if using a convection oven, the cooking time will be less. So that is why it is important to invest in a good meat thermometer instead of relying on cooking times. Carve the roast into individual servings and serve with the potatoes

I have never roasted a prime rib roast and decided to do something different this Christmas. It was risky but decided on this recipe and everyone loved it. I didn't do the first step of the salt and pepper and I don't think it affected it. I drizzled a little more oil over it and placed some garlic and rosemary sprigs around the roast. It is an expensive cut of meat but well worth it for special occasions. The Crust was awesome

This recipe turned out great. I started with a 5 pound roast, and there wasn't a drop left. Just be careful with the cooking time. My oven cooks evenly, and I don't typically have to adjust cooking times; but my roast was done in 1 hour instead of the antcipated 2.5-3. I kept thinking it couldn't be done, but the thermometer read 135 (actually two different ones were used. Luckily I had done the prep on the rest of dinner, so I was able to get it together during the resting time. We cut the meat after the rest, and sure enought it was a perfect medium-rare. This was an expensive cut of meat, but for Easter dinner it was nice, and I would make it again.

Exceptional flavor is retained and enhanced with the slow cook follow up to the overnight preparation.
