A Butcher Shoppe bone-in prime rib roast is rich, juicy and tender. It’s the perfect combination of being relatively easy to prepare while still being a truly impressive cut to serve to friends and family. You’ll want one of these at the centre of your dinner table! 

Prime Rib Roast Goes Great With…

This rich cut of beef should be paired with simple accompaniments to highlight its flavor: roasted vegetables and garlicky mashed potatoes are both classic pairings. 

When it comes to the steak itself, the rich flavors of a standing rib roast can be wonderfully complemented by a variety of accompaniments from our pantry. 

Here's how each option can enhance your culinary experience of prime rib roast:

• Red pepper jelly: The vibrant and slightly sweet notes of red pepper jelly provide a delightful contrast to the savory richness of the prime rib. The sweet and tangy flavors of the jelly can add a burst of brightness, creating a harmonious balance that tantalizes the taste buds.
• Hot pepper jelly: For those who crave a touch of heat, hot pepper jelly offers an exciting and fiery companion to the medium rare prime rib. The spicy kick of the jelly can provide an exhilarating contrast, elevating the flavor profile and adding an adventurous twist to each bite.
• Caramelized onions: The sweet and savory allure of caramelized onions can be a match made in culinary heaven for a standing rib roast. The deep, rich flavors of the onions complement the richness of the meat, creating a symphony of savory deliciousness. The caramelized onions add an irresistible layer of sweetness and depth that enhances the overall dining experience.

Whether you prefer the sweet tanginess of red pepper jelly, the fiery excitement of hot pepper jelly, or the savory elegance of caramelized onions, each prime rib recipe offers a unique and delectable pairing. 

Our Preferred Preparation for a Bone-In Prime Rib Roast 

Our favorite way to cook prime rib roast is the reverse sear for its ability to lock in the juices while creating a flavorful crust on the meat. 

Here’s how to do it: 

1. Take the prime rib roast out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 1-2 hours before cooking to help it cook evenly. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure a high initial heat for searing the roast.
2. Generously season the roast with your preferred blend of herbs, spices, and salt—we recommend our bold and savory Signature Steak Spice.
3. Place the seasoned prime rib roast, bone-side down, in a roasting pan or on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Transfer the roast to the preheated oven and sear it for approximately 15 minutes to develop a flavorful crust.
4. After searing the prime rib roast, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Continue roasting the prime rib for about 15-20 minutes per pound (450-500g). The ideal temperature for medium rare is around 130-135°F (54-57°C)—use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for your desired doneness.

Remember to insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, away from the bone, for an accurate reading.

1. Once the desired internal temperature is reached, remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a carving board or serving platter. Tent the roast loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and succulent prime rib.
2. Slice the prime rib roast across the grain into desired thickness. Aim for slices that are about ½ to 1 inch thick. Serve the standing rib roast with your preferred accompaniments, such as horseradish sauce, au jus, or a side of roasted vegetables.
