Prime Rib

A 30z. seasoning packet of Patty's Prime Seasoning is designed to coat a 15 to 18lb. loin. Whatever size loin or roast you choose to cook, the procedure is the same. The only difference is the amount of seasoning needed.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 2 1/2 to 3 hours
Rest time: 30 minutes (for the loin, not the cook)

Wash thawed loin thoroughly under cold tap water. Put on sheet pan or roasting pan. Coat the entire loin; top, bottom and ends.

Place in pan fat side up. DO NOT COVER. Bake in oven at 325*. After 2 1/2 hours using your meat thermometer, check the temperature of the center of the loin. It needs to temp. 110* to 115* for Medium Rare, 130* to 135* for Medium, and 145* for Medium Well. Anything beyond that and you are on your own. When you pull it out of the oven, as it rests, it will continue to cook.

While the Prime Rib is baking you will have time to prepare the Au Jus. One quart of water and 2 heaping T. of beef base in sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Add sliced onions and simmer on medium low until time to serve. Don't forget to saute mushrooms and make some horseradish and sourcream sauce to top off the Prime Rib.
