I'm sorry, this just didn't work for us. My roast came out very tough even though I know I was slicing it against the grain. I won't rate it with any stars because it could have just been the roast I had. I will say, it was easy to do and it came out a lovely medium rare. I really enjoyed your horseradish sauce tho and will definately use it again. Thank you .Reply

Excellent! This is how a restaurant I went to 20 years ago must have fixed their prime rib. They used more seasonings but I so very happy to have come across your recipe 2Bleu! I had a 5 pound prime rib roast after baking it I left it in the oven for 8 hours. The oven had cooled completely down at the end of that time. So I need to reheat a slice in the microwave. I warmed up a 1/2 inch slice for DH in a covered microwave bowl for 45 seconds, checked it then another 30 seconds and it came out nicely. But be very careful so you don't over cook the meat. I made this for *Adopt A Tag II Fall 2008* gameReply

I'll add my 5 stars to this one. Moist and juicy it was. So easy to prepare too. The only thing I did different was to make slits in the roast and insert slices of garlic. Yummy. My roast was only about 3 lbs and it was much more done that the photos show, but that was done because this is one slice of meat we like more done than the others. Don't even know why. Served this with recipe #266053 as suggested and also some mushroom/onion gravy. Very good recipe. ThanksReply
