ingredients
- 1814.36-2721.55 g standing beef rib roast
-
Drowning Mixture
- 177.44 ml dry red wine
- 118.29 ml chopped onion
- 59.14 ml lemon juice
- 14.79 ml Worcestershire sauce
- 2.46 ml dried rosemary
- 2.46 ml dried marjoram
- 1.23 ml garlic powder
- 59.14 ml water
-
Massaging Compound
- 14.79 ml lemon pepper
- 14.79 ml sweet paprika (or papa reeka if you’re an Emeril fan)
- 7.39 ml garlic salt or 7.39 ml garlic powder
- 4.92 ml dried rosemary
- 2.46 ml cayenne pepper
directions
- For the Drowning Mixture, stir together the wine, onion, water, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, marjoram, garlic salt, and water in a bowl.
- Place meat in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
- Add the mixture; close the bag.
- Drown the beef in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
- Empty the beef’s swimming pool and throw the liquid away (unless you are a Jamie Oliver fan – if so, you can wash your hair with it).
- Thoroughly mix all the Massaging Compound ingredients in a small bowl and use it all to give the beef a really good massage all over (you can tell when you’re done when you hear the beef whispering “Oooooh, that feels goooood).
- Place the beef, fat side up, in a large roasting pan (or, if you’re an Emeril fan, “inside of” a large roasting pan).
- Insert a meat thermometer into the center, making sure that it is not touching bones.
- Roast in a 325°F oven to desired doneness, allowing 1¾ to 3 hours for rare (140°F internal temperature), 2¼ to 3¾ hours for medium (160°F internal temperature), or 2¾ to 4¼ hours for well done (170°F internal temperature).
- Transfer the meat to a cutting board.
- Cover with foil (or, if you are a Paula Deen fan, you may use fawl) and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.

I have used this recipe with many different types of beef roasts and it always turns out good. I have always used whatever wine we have open, so I can tell you it also works well with any wine that you like to drink. The toughest cuts of meat are completely tenderized by the drowning mixture within 24 hours. We use this so much that I have modified it for the crock pot for the days when I can't be at home to get it in the oven on time. -
WOW! This is now our new Christmas dinner tradition. Delicious! I overcooked it slightly... went for the medium temp and it seems to have cooked a bit more as it "rested". Next time, and believe me, there WILL be a next time, I will go for the rare temp. I allowed my roast to "swim" over night and then gave it a good massage right before roasting (and YES, I did hear it moan slightly in pleasure!). Thanks for a fantastic recipe! -
Great flavor, thanks for posting!

One of the most FUN recipes I have come across in a long time!!! -
This prime rib recipe is wonderful! We loved the flavors of the "bath" and the rub. I was a little disappointed that the meat wasn't as tender as I'd hoped (after 24 hours in the bath), but it might have been the quality of my meat...? idk? Regardless, the dh and I would definitely recommend this recipe if you're looking for high-end restaurant quality prime rib!

Miller, I used this recipe for Standing Prime Rib for our Christmas feast this year and it proved to be excellent! Beginning in the AM, I allowed the beef to marinate for 8 hours before using your rub mixture. This combination of herbs and spices is excellent for roast beef. The fragrance of this roast in the oven is truly incredible! I did however miss the salt, so next time I will use the garlic salt instead of garlic powder. I have also used your "Massaging Compound" in this recipe for other cuts of roast beef, and it proves to be just as wonderful every way I try it. This recipe will go into my permanent collection.

Gavin "Miller" Duncan passed away November 12, 2004 in Laurel, MD from complications of a "broken" heart. The outpouring of support from the Recipezaar community while his health was declining was a huge comfort to him and even "perked him up" a bit in his final month. Miller was a huge asset to Recipezaar, not only due to his incredible collection of recipes, but his participation in the forums. Miller was known for his wonderful low-sodium recipes, his warmth, and last, but not least, his wicked, dry sense of humor.

No, the picture to the left is not me. It is, in fact, a picture of famous TV Chef Jamie Oliver (a/k/a Thpit Boy)’s grandfather, the late Sir Topaz McWhacker. Note the strong family resemblance, most noticeable in the nose, eyebrows, and general lack of cleanliness Legend has it that Topaz taught Thpit everything that he knows about whacking and about only washing and combing his hair twice a year.

Instead of the trivia that many Recipezaar members have displayed on their “About Me” pages, I thought it might be a tad more helpful if I were to provide some beneficial information that you can put to good practical use either in your own kitchen or when you are watching the antics of some celebrated TV chefs. So, for your enlightenment.....
.
.
Chairman Kaga:
When he says “Ion Shff”, he really means “Iron Chef” or, perhaps, “I need a Kleenex”
.
Chef Paula Deen:
When she says “awl”, she really means “oil”.
When she says “y’all”, she really means “everyone except m’all”.
When she says “bring the water to a bawl”, I have no clue what she means - I thought you could only make a baby “bawl”.
And, boys and girls, you can easily Deenize the sentences that you use in your very own kitchen, such as “All y’all can bawl your corn in olive awl or wrap it in aluminum fawl”.
.
Emeril Lagasse:
When he says “confectionery sugar’, he really means “confectioners’ sugar”.
When he says “pappa-reeka”, he really means “paprika”.
When he says “inside of”, he really means “in”.
When he says “a little”, he really means “a lot”. Have you ever tried to count the number of times he says “a little” during any given show? Don’t – it will drive you nuts.
When he says “cardamin”, he really means “cardamom”.
When he says “my water don’t come seasoned”, what he really means is “I need a new joke writer”.
When he says “that www dot food thing”, he really means “I flunked Computerese 101”.
.
Iron Chef Morimoto:
When he says “Foo Netwu”, he really means “Food Network”.
.
Dessert Dude Jacques Torres:
When he says “I going”, he really means “I am going”. (The verb “to be” has apparently been deleted from the French language.)
.
Spit Boy Jamie Oliver:
When he says “whack it in the oven”, he really means “I am into hot, kinky stuff”.
When he says “Bob’s yer uncle”, what he really means is “you’d better ask your aunt how well she REALLY knew that mailman named Robert”.
When he says “rocket”, he really means “an older weapon being used in Iraq”.
When he says “Fewd Netwuk”, he really means “Food Network”.
.
Numerous chefs:
When they say “codfish” and “tunafish”, what they really mean is “cod” and “tuna”, respectively. Please note that they use these terms so that you don’t go out and buy “codanimal” or “tunavegetable” by mistake. Having said that, I have no clue as to why they don’t refer to “troutfish”, “salmonfish”, “red snapperfish”, etc., etc.
.
Giggly-Wiggly Rachael Ray:
When she says “EVOO”, she really means “don’t use BOCO (boring old corn oil)”.
When she says “a little lettuce action going on”, she really means “with only 8 minutes left in the game, cabbages are still in the lead, but lettuces are making a strong comeback”.
.
Two Fat Ladies:
When they say “I gwing”, they really mean “I am going” or “Sorry, but we have been watching too many episodes of Jacques Torres’ show”.
.
Please note that the above is not all-inclusive. If there are other celebrity chef words or phrases that have you stumped, please post an "ISO" message in the discussion forums and I will find the translation for you.
