Prime Rib

Prime Rib 6

For someone who has been Living a Low Carb Lifestyle for over six years you would think I would be a master at roasting, but for some reason roasting has always scared me.  I have only been exploring the world of roasting in the past couple years. I think what scares me about roasting is the control of the outcome is all on the oven. With casseroles, grilling, and sautéing you have a lot more control on the outcome of your meal. It wasn’t until I purchased a digital thermometer that I felt capable in trusting my oven. Simply insert the digital thermometer into your roast, set the temperature, and it will alarm when your roast is done. Well last night I decide to test my oven’s fate by making a classic Prime Rib roast. I chose to be safe and sear my rib roast before roasting in the oven to lock in the juices. This method helps to ensure that you end up with a nice juicy piece of meat, but it wont leave you with much drippings to make au jus dipping sauce, so you may want to grab a packet to make some extra dipping sauce. Simply follow these steps to make the perfect prime rib roast for your next dinner party.
