Ingredients
4lbs(2kg)Beef Prime Rib Rackwith ribs bones attached
Rib marinade - Dry rub: Crush the coriander, cumin, salt, pepper, chopped rosemary, and thyme in a mortar and pestle or food processor until coarse. Grate in the garlic and nutmeg. Drizzle in the olive oil. Set aside until ready to use.
Pomegranate glaze - Place all ingredients in a bowl and combine well with a whisk. Set aside until ready to use. Pro tip - Brushing the ribs with this glaze will add nice color and flavor, as well as make the most delicious gravy to go with the roast.
Preheat the oven to 425°F/ 220°C/ Gas Mark 7 for at least 20 mins.Pro tip - A hot oven will sear the meat from the outside, making sure all the juices stay inside.
Wipe the rib with a paper towel and dry it as much as possible. Generously apply the dry rub all over the ribs. Pro tip - If the meat is wet, the marinade will slide down as soon as it goes into the oven. You can also leave it marinated in the fridge up to overnight.
Place the prime rib on the roasting rack, fat side up. I like to place a piece of foil under the bones so they stay upright. Pro tip - Remove the ribs from the fridge and let them come to room temperature. Chilled or frozen meat will cook unevenly. l like to leave it out for at least 2 to 3 hours.
Cook for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F / 177 ° / Gas Mark 4. Brush the meat with pomegranate glaze. Place a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. Pro tip - You can glaze the meat more than once. If you don't have a thermometer, just calculate the time based on the weight of the meat, as suggested below.
Continue to cook until the internal temperature of the meat reaches the desired temperature:- Medium rare - between 130 F to 135 F, approximately 15 minutes per pound- or Medium - between 135 F to 140 F, approximately 22 to 23 minutes per pound- Medium well between 145 F to 150 F, approximately 25 minutes per pound
When you reach the desired temperature for doneness, remove from the oven and leave on the counter covered with foil for at least 15 to 30 minutes.Pro tip – The meat will continue to cook about 5 degrees more after you take it out of the oven.
Glaze - Pour the remaining pomegranate glaze and any pan juices into a frying pan or saute pan. Cook over medium heat until reduced to 1/3 or thickened like a syrup. Serve with the roast.
