A prime rib roast is beef that is cut from the primal rib, which is one of the eight primal cuts of beef. A prime rib roast is often referred to as a standing rib roast as it is usually cooked in the oven “standing up”, i.e. with the ribs stacked vertically. A typical prime rib recipe involves rubbing the outside of the meat with salt and seasonings and then slow roast in the oven. The amount of time you need to cook the prime rib roast will depend on how well you want the meat cooked. If you want the meat nice, juicy and pink it will require a lot less time than if you want the meat well cooked all the way through.
Another way of eating prime rib roast is to cut the meat in to a number of rib steaks. If you remove the bone you get a rib eye steak, which is a great steak. A healthy recipe involving rib eye steak is to simply stick it on a barbeque over some hot coals. Barbecuing rib eye steak is an easy recipe that anyone can do at home. When barbecuing rib eye steak there are a few levels of “doneness” to which you can cook the meat.
When you cook prime rib and serve it blue, the meat is basically sealed on both sides. You achieve this by leaving the steak on the grill for around thirty seconds to a minute, flip it over and cook the other side for thirty seconds to a minute. The inside of the rib will be red, bleeding and barely warm. Prime rib cooked this way is not to everyone’s taste, although it is a speciality in some countries.
When you cook prime rib and serve it rare it is cooked for a bit longer to allow more of the meat to cook. When a rib is cooked in this manner, the inside will still be slightly pink and there may be a little blood but not too much and the rib will be hot all the way through. A rare prime rib is juicy, succulent and very tender.
When you cook a prime rib medium it is grilled for a little longer still. The inside will be brown and there will be no blood at all. The amount of tasty juices will be minimal, if any. This is the stage where the meat becomes a little tough and dry, and you will need a serrated knife to cut through it and a good set of teeth to eat it.
When you cook a prime rib well done, it is cooked for longer still. A well done rib eye steak is well cooked all the way through and piping hot all the way through. Cooking a rib eye steak this way will dry it out and it will be tough and chewy. When barbecuing a steak to the stage of well done it is advisable to regularly spray the outside of the steak with water during the cooking process to stop the outside drying out too much and burning.
A rare rib eye steak is an easy recipe that is very tasty on its own, however many people like to pour prime rib sauce over their steaks to give a bit more flavour. There are many different readymade prime rib sauces available to buy so get down your local store and see what’s available. Alternatively, you may wish to make your own prime rib eye sauce in which case you should check out food network recipes.
