A standing beef rib roast is sometimes called "prime rib." Prime, however, refers to the grading of the meat and not the specific cut. The USDA grades beef as prime, choice or select depending on its tenderness, flavor and juiciness. Prime beef is generally reserved for restaurants and is available to consumers only in premium butcher shops. You can prepare this recipe using any good-quality standing rib roast.

Here, we serve the roast with savory Yorkshire pudding. It is made from the same batter as popovers, but instead of being poured into individual cups, it is prepared as one large soufflélike bread. The key to a good Yorkshire pudding is to have both the pan and the fat very hot when you pour in the batter. This immediately cooks the batter as it comes into contact with the pan and puffs up the pudding nicely. Serve Yorkshire pudding immediately after removing it from the oven, as it will quickly deflate.

Ingredients:

  • 1 standing beef rib roast, 6 to 6 1⁄2 lb.
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

For the Yorkshire pudding:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄2 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbs. fat from roasting pan
  • 3⁄4 cup dry red wine
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions:

Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 450°F. Oil a flameproof heavy roasting pan just large enough to hold the roast comfortably.

Generously season all sides of the roast with salt and pepper. Place the roast, fat side up, in the prepared pan. Roast for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast, away from the bone, registers 125° to 130°F for very rare to medium-rare, about 1 hour and 10 minutes more (for a total roasting time of 1 1⁄2 hours).

Meanwhile, make the batter for the Yorkshire pudding: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Whisk in the flour and salt. Pour into a small pitcher, cover and refrigerate.

Transfer the roast to a carving board and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest while baking the pudding.

To make the pudding, increase the oven temperature to 450°F. Skim the surface fat from the drippings, reserving both the fat and the pan with the drippings. Spoon 2 Tbs. of the fat into a metal pie pan or baking pan and put the pan in the oven until it is very hot, about 4 minutes. Pour the batter into the hot pan. Bake on the lower rack until the pudding is golden and puffed, about 20 minutes, rotating once if puffing unevenly.

Meanwhile, place the roasting pan with the drippings over medium heat. Pour in the wine and deglaze the pan, stirring to scrape up the browned bits. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a sauceboat.

Just before the pudding is ready, slice the beef and arrange on a warmed platter. Serve with the pudding and sauce.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Made gluten free I made this yorkshire pudding (both with and without the roast on separate occasions) using the cup 4 cup gluten free flour sold by Williams Sonoma and it was divine both times. I highly recommend this recipe AND the flour.
