Plan head: Quality meat will be aged approx 2 weeks when the butcher gets it. Have your butcher age it for another 2 to 4 weeks.
So much of this dish depends on the quality of the meat. Get the best
available.
Make the horeradish cream by combining all
ingredients and refrigerate, ideally a day or two ahead
The Roast: Rub and let stand covered on the bench for at least 1
hour. Place the roast in the pan bone side down and roast for 15 minutes at high temp.
(>240°) Remove from the oven and let stand on the bench for 30 mins while
the oven cools to less than 85° Return and roast
at 85° for 2.5 to 3.0 hours and check the internal temp. 58°
is Good. The temp will rise rapidly from 47° so watch carefully. Remove the roast
at 2.5 hours and let stand uncovered for 5 mins and test temp. If too
low return to oven in 10 minute intervals as needed. Set on the bench for
30 mins and the temp should rise to 60° - 61°. Keep warm at less than
60° till service
To make the Yorshire pudding combine all
the ingredients into a batter. Using a scone tray and heat in a 210° oven.
Put a small amount of butter in each well and fill each well over halfway with batter and
bake for 28 minutes
To make the Au Jus.
Combine all ingredients and boil 5 minutes. Put into a preheated gravy jug.
You want really hot Aus jus at service point.
To Serve: One cut of rib roast with mashed potato. Cover the meat with Au jus and put some in a well in the potato. On the side is a yorkshire pudding, horseradish cream, Creamed spinach, and a Carrot

Always allow for a 3°- 4° temp rise while resting. So to hit
Rare to Medium rare 61° (my
target) remove the roast from the oven when the temperature is 59°. If the
oven is cooled to <60° and the roast is 61° then there is no danger the
roast can cook further no matter how long you leave it.
Mash potaoes is a must.
Far too much butter is barely enough in mashed potatoes.

Roast meat, mashed potatoes and gravy. Sounds rather dull. But do the elements correctly and it transforms into the Classic American meal that can top any menu.
Lawry's in Las Vegas or Hollywood does a great Prime Rib.
The Prime stands for best quality meat. Its a whole rib fillet with bone
on. 7 bones to be precise. The smaller yearling standing rib will be
2.5kg - 3.0kg. Suitable for 7 people. 1 rib each at about 350g per
serve. Pictured. Or get a larger 4.5kg- 5kg piece and its a feast for 12
people. 7 ribs and 5 centre cuts. My way produces an even texture from
the edge to the centre with a thin well done outside. As good as it
gets!
You must use an oven thermometer placed close to the
roast to gauge the oven temperature. Very little or no moisture will
escape the roast. Always allow for a temperature rise whilst resting.
Ideally allow temp to fall to as low as 50°c before carving up. About 1
hour sat on the bench or longer in a cooling oven
