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 at about $50
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
Ingredients
3kg Standing Rib Roast rubbed with
4 cloves garlic, 1 Tbs dried thyme, salt and pepper with 2 Tbs Peanut Oil mashed in a mortar and pestle
Yorkshire Pudding (18 pieces)
1 cup plain flour
1 cup self raising flour
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground pepper
1 cup milk
1 cup water
Horse Radish
100g prepared horseradish
100g sour cream
2 tsp hot english mustard (optional)
Beef Au Jus
100 ml meat stock
Rib roast pan drippings (150ml )
1 Tbs packet gravy mix in 50ml water
Method::
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 refrigerating, 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 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 hours and check the internal temp. 56°- 58° is Good. The temp will rise rapidly from 47° so watch carefully. Remove the roast and let stand uncovered 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, put 2/3 tsp of butter in each well and heat in a 210° oven. Fill each well over halfway with batter and bake for 30 minutes
To make the Au Jus. Combine all ingredients and boil 2 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
My temperature Chart: Max temp recorded while resting for 30 mins.
52° Rare
55° Rare to Medium Rare
57° Medium Rare
60° Medium Rare to Medium
63° Medium
66° Medium to Medium Well Done
68° Medium Well Done to Well done
71° Well done
Always allow for a 3°- 4° temp rise while resting. So to hit Medium Rare to Medium 61° (my target) remove the roast from the oven when the temperature is 57°. 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.
Far too much butter is barely enough in mashed potatoes.
