Ingredients

1 (3-rib) prime rib beef roast, about 6 pounds
5 garlic cloves, smashed
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
Needles from 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
Leaves from 4 fresh thyme sprigs
1/2 cup sea salt
1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 carrots, cut in chunks
2 parsnips
1 red onions, halved
1 head garlic, halved

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lay the beef in a large roasting pan with the bone side down. (The ribs act as a natural roasting rack.)

In a small bowl mash together the garlic, horseradish, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make a paste. Massage the paste generously over the entire roast. Scatter the vegetables around the meat and drizzle them with a 2-count of oil. Put the pan in the oven and roast the beef for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours for medium-rare (or approximately 20 minutes per pound). 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 and let it rest for 20 minutes. The internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise by about 10 degrees. Remove the vegetables and set aside. Pour the pan juices into a fat separator or small bowl and set aside to allow the fat and beef juices to separate. Pour off and discard the fat. You can use the tasty beef juices for Sauteed Mushrooms.

Best I ever made
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe faithfully, even the 1/2 cup of salt. I have made many an excellent rib roast over the years I must... say this was the best ever. It is important to note that you must remove the crust before carving and discard the veggies after making a pan sauce. I did not use "Prime" meat, just a choice rib roast that I bought on sale. This was as good or better than I ever had in a restaurant and that includes the Old Homestead in NY. Tyler Rocks!!Read more

No Longer Intimidated!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My mother made her delicious rib roast every Easter for as long as I can remember. She recently passed and this was our 1st... holiday without her. I started to have dinner at my sister's house, but she was making ham and I really wanted my mother's roast. But I was terrified. to try and cook such an expensive cut of meat. I'm a decent cook, however I think some dishes are better left to those who know what they're doing. WELL I made this recipe, It was juicy and tasty. I was so proud of myself I took a plate to my sister, and she says that from now on, I have to cook Easter dinner. Thankx Tyler!Read more

Better than any restaurant
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Prime Rib is my husband's favorite and now this recipe is the only one I will use! It was absolutely delicious! I followed... the recipe, except I omitted rosemary and thyme as I didn't have any, and used kosher salt. I thought it had a little too much pepper, but followed the recipe anyway. The smell was driving us crazy! We were laughing that the garlic was getting stronger as it cooked! I can't say enough about how good it was. Not salty in the least. I made a merlot based au jus with a sour cream horseradish sauce. The sandwiches, if you're so lucky to have leftovers, were the best I ever had! Don't forget to put some of the horseradish sauce on the sandwich. The meat was the most tender I've ever had! Loved It!Read more

DO NOT USE THIS RECIPE
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This recipe is absolutely terrible. It is WAY too salty. At first I thought I had done something wrong, but as I started to... read through some of the comments, it seems that lots of people had the same result. The roast was inedible. My family thought I was trying to poison them! I was relunctant when I read the ingredients. I thought that 1/2 cup of sea salt seemed a little much, but I went ahead with it anyway because the reviews seems positive and I am a fan of Tyler Florence (I should have scrolled down further to see that the comments weren't that flattering afterall). My instincts were right! The sea salt was too much. I had to throw out a $30.00 roast! I wish Tyler would give me my money back. The vegetables in the roasting pan absorbed the salt and they too were inedible! You couldn't even swallow the meat. What I can't figure out is why the average rating is 4 stars. Why would anyone give this recipe 3 stars if it was way too salty and cleary the comments reflect a 1 star rating. Please if you are rating a recipe, be honest. If you can't eat it and it truly was terrible, give the recipe an accurate rating. 3 is average and by no means was this recipe average. It was so bad I couldn't even give the left overs to my dogs. This recipe truly deserves a ONE (actually a ZERO if it were permitted). Don't waste your roast on this recipe, otherwise you will be in the red $30.00.Read more

My grown kids were xxx from having turkey at their relatives, so I prepared this recipe. All raves, no complaints, (not that... they'd dare to complain.) Thanks, Tyler Read more
