Mike's EZ Prime Rib
Plan on purchasing a prime rib that weighs out at 1 pound per guest. That's definitely a generous serving amount of meat! Also, purchase your rib roast 4 to 5 days prior to serving so she can age up a bit.
If serving more than a 5 lb roast - double your rub in this easy recipe. Definitely invest in a quality meat thermometer as well.
You can easily make your own Au Jus but why create another job for yourself on a crazy busy holiday? McCormick makes a great prefab Au Jus. However, I substitute any water required by them for beef both with sodium.
The internal temperature in the deepest, thickest part of your roast should be 115° to 120° for rare, 130° to 135° for medium-rare, and, medium at 145°.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Bring roast to room temperature for at least 2 hours prior to cooking.
- 2
Rinse roast and daub dry. Place on a metal rack in a roasting pan - fat side up. Leave binding strings in tact.
- 3
Mix all dry seasonings together in a bowl. Place minced garlic and oil in a separate bowl.
- 4
● Rinse your roast and pat it completely dry with absorbent paper towels.
● Coat your roast in your oil and garlic mixture. Use all.
● Then, pat on your dry seasonings all the way around.
● Know that no salt is needed in your rub since your Au Jus with beef broth will lend all the sodium you'll want.
- 5
● Do not cover roast and cook on a lifted oven rack at 400° for the first 15 minutes. Then, reduce heat to 325° and time for 20 minutes per total pound.
● This will give you a nice medium rare center and well done ends.
● Cut time by 3 minutes per pound if you want a very rare center like I do.
● An ultimate internal temp of 120° stuck in your thickest roast part makes for a perfect rare prime rib in my opinion.
- 6
● Pull roast from oven and let it rest for 5 + covered for minutes before slicing. This will help its fluids to rise to the surface.
● Cut binding strings.
● Slice in between bones and serve as 1 lb slabs per guest.
● Serve with piping hot Au Jus and chilled Horseradish Sauce.
- 7
Make your Au Jus but substitute the water called for with beef broth for a more pronounced beef flavor.
- 8
● Upon serving, I'll lay the 1 lb slab on a guests serving plate alone. Then, I'll ladle piping hot Au Jus around the meat. I'll then garnish individual slabs with fresh parsley.
● Any other sides - I'll serve in seperate bowls or on side plates. [i.e., stacked baked potatoes, fresh asparagus, creamed spinach with bread, garlic risotto, or, simple wedge salads]
● You can also serve this as an impressive Surf & Turf dish. Just add steamed seafood of your choosing to the side. I'll commonly add King Crab Legs, Jumbo Shrimp or, Jumbo Scallops.
- 9
● Steam de-thawed crab legs for 5 to 8 minutes in a slight amount of water, lemon juice, pepper corns, a bay leaf and crushed garlic cloves to taste.
● Serve legs with melted or clarified butter and lemon wedges.
- 10
● Another great side is baked potatoes.
● See my recipe for Mike's Perfect Baked Potatoes.

Creamed Spinach. Another great side dish. Quite traditional!

California Farm Prime Rib Roast California Farm Prime Rib Roast
The prime rib roast is the most desirable and tender part of the beef. Called standing rib roast when ribs are attached. The ribs are kept attached to keep the meat juicier when roasting.Rib roasts stay tender when cooked rare or medium rare, and get dry when cooked medium or well done. A ten pound roast yields ten steaks, 1” thick, close to a pound of meat for each steak after the rib bone has been trimmed off.

Cooking time formula:“To calculate your cooking time, multiply the exact weight of the roast by 5. Round the resulting number to the nearest whole number. The rib is cooked at 500 degrees F for exactly that many minutes. For example, for a 6 pound roast: 6x5=30, so cooking time is 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and wait 2 hours before opening the oven door.”

Mike's Prime Rib Yakamein Soup Mike's Prime Rib Yakamein Soup
AKA: Louisiana Old Sober Soup[pronounced yak-e-mon]According to the New Orleans Historical Society, this soup was invented out of pure necessity by the South African and Japanese railroad slaves in the mid 1800's.This tummy soothing soup is traditionally made with tender, long simmering beef chuck. Tho I typically use my leftover prime rib from my holiday meals. But, If simmered long enough, beef chuck works great as well.This salty soup, [meant to encourage later water intake to assist with wicked hangovers] always includes sliced boiled eggs. It's also offered with Louisiana Hot Sauce, Worcestershire, Ketchup [?], Soy Sauce and fresh crispy chilled chives as garnishments.This soup is craved by late night Bourbon Street party goers and is commonly sold from the back of pick up trucks by independent sellers in New Orleans.It's served in styrofoam cups for both convenience and, the fact that the styrofoam tends to absorb some of the beef fat in this soup. It's traditionally eaten with chopsticks and the piping hot broth is sipped directly from the cup.Excellent work again you brilliant little 7 year old culinary gangstas! -
