Servings 1 Serving

Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole uncut ribeye (approximately 12 oz. per person)

Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped garlic
  • 1/4 cup liquid smoke
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions
 

Marinate the Ribeye

  • Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
    Place the ribeye in a large pan or dish.
    Cover one side of the ribeye with half of the marinade mixture, rubbing it all over.
    Turn the ribeye over and pour the remaining marinade on the other side, rubbing it in.
    Cover the pan and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to infuse.

Cooking

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
    Bake the ribeye at this temperature for about 30 minutes to sear the outside and create a nice crust.
    After 30 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 250°F (120°C).
    Continue baking for approximately 2 hours until the ribeye reaches your desired level of doneness. This slow cooking ensures tenderness and juiciness.

Serving

  • Let the prime rib rest for a few minutes before slicing.
    Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Notes

TIPS & TRICKS:

  • Room Temperature: Take the ribeye out of the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking to ensure even cooking.
  • USDA Choice vs. USDA Prime: The prime rib you’ll find in supermarkets is typically USDA Choice quality. If you prefer the higher fat marbling of USDA Prime, you’ll need to place a special order from your butcher.
  • Patience: Great things take time! Marinating and slow roasting are key to achieving that Texas Roadhouse flavor.
