Ingredients:

  • Prime Rib Roast (room temperature, bone-in preferred)
  • Montreal Steak Spice (or your preferred seasoning blend)
  • Vegetables:
    • 4-5 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
    • 3-4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
    • 2 onions, quartered
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder (to taste)
  • Beef fat chunks (optional, for crispy vegetables)

For the Gravy:

  • Pan drippings
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1-2 cups beef stock (depending on desired gravy thickness)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Prime Rib:
    • Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
    • Season the prime rib generously with Montreal Steak Spice, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.
  2. Set Up the Roasting Pan:
    • Place a roasting rack in the middle of a large roasting pan.
    • Position the prime rib bones-side down on the rack.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables:
    • Arrange the potatoes, carrots, and onions around the roast in the pan.
    • Sprinkle the vegetables with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
    • Add chunks of beef fat to the corners of the pan for extra flavor and to help crisp the vegetables.
  4. Roast the Prime Rib:
    • Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and cook at 450°F (232°C) for 20 minutes to develop a crust.
    • Reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare.
      (Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.)
  5. Rest the Roast:
    • Remove the prime rib from the pan and cover it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
    • Remove the vegetables from the pan and keep them warm in the oven.
  6. Make the Gravy:
    • Place the roasting pan (with drippings) on the stovetop over medium heat.
    • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour into the pan and whisk to form a roux.
    • Gradually add beef stock, whisking constantly, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
    • Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Serve:
    • Slice the rested prime rib and plate it alongside the roasted vegetables.
    • Drizzle with gravy and enjoy!

Tip: For a perfect roast, always let the prime rib come to room temperature before cooking and use a meat thermometer to ensure your desired doneness.
