We also review slow roasting our spiral glazed hams.

How To Cook a Prime Rib Roast

Prime Rib is arguably the most flavorful cut of beef. Our butchers crack and tie our Prime Rib Roasts which means they carve out the upper tendons and tie the bone on the center loin giving the roast a deeper flavor. Cooking with the bone attached to your Prime Rib allows for easy carving on the butcher block as you slice to serve.

One whole Prime Rib has 7 bones and includes 15-18 servings. One rib averages 2.5-3lbs and is about 2-3 servings.

There are two methods we recommend for cooking a Prime Rib Roast.

High Temperature Method

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven, preheat the oven to 425℉

2. Pat dry

3. Season liberally with salt and ground black pepper to taste

4. Place roast fat side up on a rack in a roasting pan

5. And roast until an instant read thermometer reads

1. 110℉ to 120℉ for rare

2. 120℉ to 125℉ for medium-rare

3. 130℉ to 135℉ for medium

Temperature continues to rise 10℉ out of the oven. Remove roast to platter and cover loosely with foil,
let stand for 15 to 30 minutes before carving.

Slow Roasted Method

1. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat oven to 450℉

2. Season liberally with salt and ground black pepper to taste

3. Place the roast rib side down in a roasting pan and roast for 10 minutes at 450

4. Reduce the oven temperature to 250 ℉

5. Roast 15-30 minutes per pound until instant read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of roast reads:

1. 115℉ to 125℉ for rare

2. 125℉ to 130℉ for medium-rare

3. 135℉ to 145℉ for medium

Temperature continues to rise 5℉ out of the oven. Remove roast to platter and cover loosely with foil,
let stand for 15 to 30 minutes before carving.

Make a Jus for Prime Rib Roast

1. Once the roast is removed from the roasting pan, pour off any excess grease

2. Place the roasting pan over medium heat and add ½ to ¾ cup of any flavorful stock, preferably beef or mushroom

3. Bring liquid to a boil and scrape the bottom of the pan until all roasting particles are dissolved

4. Season with salt and pepper to taste

How to Heat Our Spiral Glazed Hams
Our hams are FULLY Cooked and only require reheating.

1. Remove ham from packaging and set aside package of glaze.

2. Heat oven to 350 degrees, place ham in roasting plan and roast for 10 minutes per pound. You can cover the ham for the first half of cooking to prevent drying.

3. The ham is done and ready to eat when it reaches 140 degrees.

4. Add glaze for last 20 minutes of reheating so it doesn't burn.
