Prime Rib with Horseradish Cream
Pair roasted prime rib with homemade Horseradish Cream for a show-stopping main dish. Garnish with kumquats, lady apples, and pecans for extra flair.
  • Yield: 10 servings
  • Cook time:2 Hours, 35 Minutes
  • Prep time:5 Minutes
  • Other:10 Minutes
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons prepared English mustard (we tested with Colman's)
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (8 1/2-pound) prime rib roast
  • Horseradish Cream**
  • Garnishes: lady apples, kumquats, pecans

Horseradish Cream

Preparation
Combine first 5 ingredients; rub on all surfaces of roast. Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 300°, and bake 2 hours and 15 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 145° (medium rare) or 160° (medium). Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Transfer roast to a serving platter, reserving 1/4 cup drippings for Blue Cheese Yorkshire Puddings; keep warm. Serve with Horseradish Cream. Garnish, if desired.
Note: English mustard is an extremely hot condiment containing ground mustard seeds and turmeric. It contributes high flavor to the coating that bakes on the prime rib.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 2 teaspoons prepared English mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
  1. Beat whipping cream at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in chives and remaining ingredients. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Serve with Prime Rib.

My notes:  Do not throw away your rib bones!  Bake with vegetables to get the best out of and then boil with more vegetables to make stock...french onion soup is delicious with this stock...recipe to follow for stock later.

  1. You know I have NEVER made prime rib. I am so scared of ruining such an expensive piece of meat that I've never even tried it. Kinda sad I think. I made myself a promise this year to conquer my fears and this is one I am going to tackle with the help of your recipe dear friend. Thank you for sharing this! I am NOT going to wait til Christmas however, I will be tackling this on our next payday. Thanks Dolly!

    1. Go for it girl, I know you will make a great one. I make it more than at Christmas too, and have one I found on sale at market in the freezer right now. Just check with thermometer and take out when you are supposed to and it will be delicious! If you have some you need cooked a little longer then slice thin and put under the broiler there you go..better underdone than overcooked..that is something I am famous for at times!
