The Meal Your Dad Really Wants This Father’s Day

Instead of joining the rest of the maddening restaurant crowds this Father’s Day, cook for Dad at home.

But don’t do the burgers and dogs he’s had at every summer cookout since before you were born. Surprise him with a massive cut of meat: prime rib.

This recipe involves a simple rub, a straightforward cooking technique, and a few lazy hours. Present the prime rib at the table, hand Dad the carving knife, and then sit back to reap his praises.



500-Degree Prime Rib Recipe

Recipe by Bill Marinelli, chef and founder of The Dude’s Kitchen

What you’ll need:

• 8 lb. boneless prime rib eye roast
• 2 heaping Tbsp kosher salt
• 1 heaping Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 heaping Tbsp finely chopped garlic
• 2 heaping Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary and/or thyme

How to make it:
1. Preheat your oven to 500°F. Pat the roast dry with paper towels and place the meat in a heavy roasting pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs. Rub this mixture all over the meat.
3. Place the prime rib in the oven and roast until well browned, about 40 minutes (5 minutes per pound of meat). Then turn the oven off, but keep the oven door closed, allowing the residual heat to cook the roast to medium-rare, about 1 ½ hours.
4. Carefully remove the roast from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Slice into desired portions and serve. Makes 8 to 12 servings.
