5 lb Prime Rib [bone in]
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1/3 cup Minced Garlic
1 tbsp Cracked Black Pepper
1/2 tbsp Dried Onion Powder
1/2 tbsp Dried Rosemary
1/2 tbsp Dried Thyme
2 Packets Au Jus Sauce [+ 2 cups beef broth with sodium - McCormick is a great brand + fresh parsley for garnish]
1 large Disposable Aluminum Roasting Pan
1 large Metal Roasting Rack
1 Quality Meat Thermometer

1
Bring roast to room temperature for at least 2 hours prior to cooking.
2
Rinse roast and daub dry.
3
Place on a metal rack in a roasting pan - fat side up.
4
Leave binding strings in tact.
5
Mix all dry seasonings together in a bowl.
6
Place minced garlic and oil in a separate bowl.
7
Rinse your roast and pat it completely dry with absorbent paper towels.
8
Do not cover roast and cook on a lifted oven rack at 400 for the first 15 minutes.
9
Then, reduce heat to 325 and time for 20 minutes per total pound.
10
Pull roast from oven and let it rest for 5 + covered for minutes before slicing.
11
This will help its fluids to rise to the surface.
12
Make your Au Jus but substitute the water called for with beef broth for a more pronounced beef flavor.
13
Upon serving, I'll lay the 1 lb slab on a guests serving plate alone.
14
Then, I'll ladle piping hot Au Jus around the meat.
15
I'll then garnish individual slabs with fresh parsley.
16
Steam de-thawed crab legs for 5 to 8 minutes in a slight amount of water, lemon juice, pepper corns, a bay leaf and crushed garlic cloves to taste.
17
Another great side is baked potatoes.
18
Creamed Spinach.
19
Another great side dish.
20
Quite traditional!

Any leftovers can easily make an incredible New Orleans Old Sober, aka, Yakamein Soup.
23

It's absolutely one of my wife's, friends and neighbors favorite soups!
