Ingredients

1 (3-rib) prime rib beef roast, about 6 pounds
4 red onions, halved
4 carrots, cut in chunks
4 parsnips, cut in chunks
2 heads garlic, halved

Horseradish and Salt Crust:

1/2 cup prepared horseradish
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
4 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Put the onions, carrots, parsnips, and garlic into the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place the roast, rib side down, on top of the vegetables. In a small bowl mash together the horseradish, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make a paste. Smear the paste generously over the entire roast and drizzle with some extra oil. Roast for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or approximately 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare. Check the internal temperature of the roast in several places with an instant-read thermometer, it should register 125 degrees F. for medium rare. Remove the beef to a carving board, cover it with foil, and allow it to rest for 20 minutes. Note: the internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise about 10 degrees. Remove the vegetables and set aside. Pour the pan juices into a fat separator and set aside to allow the fat and beef juices to separate. Use the juices to serve with the meat and save the fat for Yorkshire pudding.

GREAT!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was so good!! Yes, it is a little salty but remember the crust is only to flavor the meat. You aren't supposed to... eat it. My husband made this for Christmas dinner and everyone including our guests loved it. They all wanted the recipe!! Read more

Make this all the Time!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I LOVE Prime Rib - This is one of the best recipes I have ever had - I make it every 3-4 months now! I usually cook it in my... electric roaster at a slightly lower temp and then leave it on Warm to let it simmer for extra hours. I also usually make about 1.5 times the crusting stuff (horseradish, salt, garlic..) and will slice the prime Rib into about 1.5" thick slices and fill in the "cracks" with this mixture. Otherwise, there is a fight for the ends of the roast. Also, this salt problem that alot of people are having I don't understand. We have not had this at all and I am not a "salt person" by any means. What to do witht he left overs: Place them on a tortilla with a little pesto and some asiago cheese - pop it in the over for 5 minutes or so to melt the cheese and crips the tortilla! Amazing! The meat also makes an amazing omelet! Go to a real butcher to get the roast - talkto the butcher, tell him what you are doing (not the counter person) and they will give you just the right cut! I worked at a butcher several years and know what to ask for and so have had great success. Someone I know made this and they just went to the butcher and said "I'm making prime rib for 8 I need the roast" they got one, it wasn't bad but is was nowhere near what should be used!Read more

5 stars is right!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was my first attempt to do prime rib and it is awesome! I didn't even do the aromatics and gravy, I just made a... horseradish cream sauce for it. Your house smells so good when it's cooking you can't wait to eat it when it's done. You do have to let the meat rest first though. I added an extra 15 to 30 minutes to the cooking time for a medium well roast depending on the roast's size. If you've never made this at home you will again and again once you've tried it.Read more

Best Prime Rib EVER!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was the best prime rib I have ever had. I followed the hints from the comment about the higher temp to start, only I did... it at 450. Other than that I followed the recipe as written. USE THE KOSHER SALT!!. Read more

I made this rib roast for christma eve, and it urned out great! (Helpful Hints) 1. I used 1/4 cup of -Kosher- salt. 2. I... had a 6 pound rib rost and i had to cook it almost 3 hours for it to be medium well at the temp. tyler gave, but the first 35 min. i cooked it at 500 degress for the crust would brown and not slide of as told by another comment. 3. I also cut thin slices, if u don't your going to spent alot of money just feeding up 2 five people! Every one loved it even my husband who is a very picky eater. I read every comment and thats how it came out perfect, hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!Read more
