The thought terrified me. </span><i>(Slight exaggeration - it's not like I needed medication or anything, and I really wasn't particularly fearful. But I was a little nervous.) </i></span></span></span></h1><br />Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Prime Rib. Or, let me re-phrase that, I <i>wasn't </i>a big fan of Prime Rib.<br /><br />I've never cooked a Prime Rib, so I did what any resourceful girl would do, and text a "cheffy" friend, who informed me that it was "easy" and to keep the internal temperature of the meat under 125. That wasn't much help.<br /><br />So, I jumped on my computer and after a few minutes found a recipe for <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/magic-prime-rib-recipe-126865">"Magic Prime Rib"</a> on food.com, by Chef Potpie. I like magic.<br /><br />The recipe sounds too good to be true...<br /><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">But it isn't. It worked perfectly.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Magic</span>. </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Not only do I now <i>love </i>Prime Rib, I will cook it this way fo-eva.<br /><br />Try it and see!<br /><br /><span style="color: red;">Pre-heat the oven to 350F. Take a 5 1/2 lb boneless prime rib. Rub it up with a spice mixture. (I used 2 tsp sea salt, 2 tsp ground black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder)</span><br /><span style="color: red;"><br /></span><span style="color: red;">Put the roast in a roasting tin, in the oven for exactly one hour. Don't open the door to look at it. </span><br /><span style="color: red;"><br /></span><span style="color: red;">At exactly one hour, turn off the oven. Leave the roast in the oven for exactly one more hour. Don't peek. </span><br /><span style="color: red;"><br /></span><span style="color: red;">Without removing the roast, set the timer for 1/2 hour and turn the oven back on to 400F. </span><br /><span style="color: red;"><br /></span><span style="color: red;">After the 1/2 hour, remove the Prime Rib from the oven. </span><br /><span style="color: red;"><br /></span><span style="color: red;">Remove the roast to a cutting board, and let sit for 15 minutes before you carve. </span><br /><br />So that was easy. But I was nervous. And then I sliced it ~ perfectly done ~ medium rare, with a dark brown crispy outside. Whaaat?!<br /><br /><div><span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I was feeling pretty happy about conquering my prime rib phobia at this point, so I managed to prepare a quick au jus: </span></span></div><div><span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Add two to three cups of water to the pan drippings, and bring to a gentle boil, while you scrape up all of the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp instant coffee (yes, coffee.). Let the au jus gently simmer for a few minutes. Taste and season with salt if it needs it. </span></span></div><div><span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; line-height: 17.24799919128418px;"><i><span style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Don't forget to subscribe to my newsletter!
