Prime Rib, The Dinner That Never Stops Giving

Preparation

1. Step 1

   For the marinade, mix together the garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, olive oil, and mustard. Stir well until the ingredients are blended into a smooth mixture.

   Step 2

   Spread the marinade over the meat, covering it completely.

   Step 3

   Wrap the meat loosely in aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.

   Step 4

   About 1 to 2 hours before ready to prepare, remove the meat from the refrigerator and place in a shallow roasting pan, ribs down. (The ribs will act as a rack.) Allow the roast to come to room temperature.

   Step 5

   While the roast is sitting, preheat the oven to 400°F.

   Step 6

   Put the roast into the oven and cook for 20 minutes.

   Step 7

   Insert a meat thermometer into the densest part of the meat. Turn the oven down to 340°F and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until the temperature reaches 165°F for medium. (For well done, cook for an additional hour or until the temperature reaches 180°F; for more rare, reduce the cooking time to 1 hour or until the temperature reaches 140°F.)

   Step 8

   Remove the roast from the oven and let sit for 20 minutes before carving. Carve and serve.

   Step 9

   Once finished serving, remove the remaining meat from the bones, wrap the meat and bones separately in aluminum foil, and refrigerate.

   Step 10

   Pour the leftover drippings into a saucepan and remove the fat. Add the coffee if you like. Salt to taste. Mix well. You now have a jus.
