King Cut Prime Rib

SERVES: 6

COOK TIME: 1 Hr 45 Min

Who says we need to go to a restaurant when we feel like having a nice juicy prime rib? We don't! Did you know that it's one of the easiest dishes to make? Sure, 'cause the oven does all the work and all we do is simply carve and enjoy.

What You'll Need

1 (4- to 4-1/2-pound) boneless beef rib eye
1 teaspoon butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup prepared white horseradish, drained
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a large roasting pan, place the beef fat side up.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper; mix well and rub over surface of beef. Roast 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted in center reaches 140 degree F. for medium-rare, or until desired doneness beyond that.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients; mix well, cover, and chill at least 30 minutes before serving with the prime rib.
Remove prime rib to a cutting board and let stand 15 to 20 minutes then slice across the grain into thick slices. Serve with the horseradish sauce.

Notes

Prime rib is often roasted on a bed of vegetables so that air can circulate around the beef as it cooks and extract the maximum flavor from the veggies. If you make it this way, be sure to discard the vegetables after cooking.
