Easy Prime Rib With Horseradish Sauce
This easy prime rib is always the star on my Christmas dinner table. We are reverse searing it for that perfect edge-to-edge medium rare cook and serving it with horseradish sauce to balance the richness of the meat. Your guests will definitely be impressed especially if you serve the prime rib I used from Snake River Farms! Absolutely divine!
We are starting out by dry brining our prime rib. We liberally season it all over with salt (remember it's a big piece of meat!) and leave it uncovered in the fridge on a rack for 12-24 hours. This concentrates that meaty flavor making it super tender and juicy!
Then we bake it at a low temperature until it reaches about 125-130 degrees for medium rare. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes and up to 1.5 hours. Use this time to finish up the sides, set the table and gather the troops! Then sear in the oven at 500 degrees for about 5 minute. Now you can cut right into it. No need to rest again!

Looks really good! Making me hungry. Like the reverse sear method. Still mulling over the bubble buddies holiday meal, we have 3 cultures and faiths represented and we will have all incorporated somehow. Besides who doesn't love a prime rib (if a meat eater)? For those willing and can get horseradish root, try grating your own fresh. I put it on everything, avocado toast, eggs, almost any vegetable dish. Thanks for sharing a holiday favorite from your family. Seasons Greetings! 🎄
What do you do with the herbs and oil? When do you put them on?
