The girls are really enjoying the grass now that we finally got some rain!  Each year the pasture continues to improve; hopefully the weather cooperates and the grass just keeps growing!

Prime Rib Roast


We were so excited to get this petite prime rib roasts back from the butcher. At about 3lbs, they are the perfect size for 2-4 people, and absolutely delicious! We are enjoying one tonight for Sunday dinner, served with a simple green salad and yorskshire pudding....mmmmm!

Petite Prime Rib Roast:

-Remove roast from freezer, remove packaging, rinse, and defrost thoroughly in refrigerator (at least 36hrs).
-At least one hour before cooking, remove roast from refrigerator, pat dry with paper towels, and allow to come to room temperature.
-Preheat oven to 450.
-Season roast with salt and pepper, rub cut sides with butter, rub entire roast with herbs de provence (or season to taste).
-Place roast, ribs down, in roasting pan.
-Roast at 450 for 15-20min.
-Turn oven down to 325, roast for 18 min/lb for medium rare. We recommend not serving grass-fed beef well done!
-Remove from oven and tent with foil, let rest for at least 15min.
-To serve, remove rib section from bottom and slice to desired thickness against the grain.

Enjoy!
