Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 8 | Allspice berries |
| 2 | Green peppercorns |
| 3 | Tablespoons butter |
| 3 | Tablespoons all-purpose flour |
| 3 | Tablespoons brown sugar |
| 2 | Tablespoons Dijon mustard |
| 1 | Teaspoon salt |
| 1 | Cup dry red wine |
| 1 1/2 | Cups beef broth |
| 2/3 | Tablespoon cornstarch |
| 2 | Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce |
| 1 1/2 | Cups water |
| 1 | Prime rib roast, about 6 to 7 pounds |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Rib Roast:
- Begin by letting the rib roast sit at room temperature for about 1 hour to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat your oven to a sizzling 500ยฐF (260ยฐC) for that perfect sear.
-
Create the Peppercorn Crust:
- In a small bowl, combine the allspice berries, green peppercorns, butter, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and salt. Mix well until it forms a flavorful paste.
-
Season and Roast:
- Pat the beef dry with paper towels, then generously season it with salt.
- In a roasting pan, place the beef with the ribs facing down and roast it in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. This initial high heat helps create a beautifully browned crust.
-
Apply the Peppercorn Paste:
- Transfer the beef to a platter, and if you’re making those delightful Rosemary Popovers to go with it, remember to save 5 tablespoons of the delicious drippings for later use.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350ยฐF (180ยฐC).
- Return the beef to the roasting pan, ribs facing down. Spread the peppercorn paste evenly over the top of the roast.
-
Roast to Perfection:
- Continue roasting the beef for 1 to 1 ยผ hours more, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 135ยฐF (57ยฐC) for a delectable medium-rare doneness.
-
Rest Before Carving:
- Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let it rest, covered loosely with foil, for at least 20 to 30 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender roast.
-
Prepare the Sauce:
- While the beef is resting, let’s make a scrumptious sauce!
- Skim off any excess fat from the drippings in the roasting pan.
- Place the roasting pan over medium-high heat and add the dry red wine to deglaze, scraping up all those delicious browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Allow the wine to reduce by about half, then transfer this flavorful liquid to a saucepan.
- Add the beef broth to the saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil for about 5 minutes.
-
Thicken the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with Worcestershire sauce and water until smooth.
- Gradually whisk this cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce, allowing it to thicken and become velvety.
- Let the sauce gently boil for another minute, whisking continuously, until it reaches the desired consistency.
-
Final Touches:
- Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper if needed.
- Once the roast has rested, carve it into thick, succulent slices, and serve it drizzled with the luscious peppercorn sauce.
-
Serve and Enjoy!
- Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch of elegance.
- This Roast Prime Rib of Beef with Pink and Green Peppercorn Crust is sure to be the star of your dinner table, impressing family and friends alike with its tender, flavorful perfection.
This recipe is a celebration of good food, bringing together the rich flavors of the beef with the aromatic spices of the peppercorn crust. Whether it’s a special occasion or a cozy family meal, this dish promises to delight with every bite! ๐ท๐โจ
