Ingredients

Scale
  • 6-pound beef rib roast
  • 3 tablespoons diamond kosher salt or 2 tablespoons Morton's kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 pounds oxtails or meaty beef bones
  • 1 teaspoon beef base
  • 6 cups low-sodium beef stock
  • 1/2 cup dry apple vinegar
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 2 large carrots, chopped
  • 3 ribs celery, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 1 large bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 5 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Let the prime rib sit at room temperature for about an hour. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and season generously with kosher salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the roast until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
  3. In another pot, combine oxtails (or bones), garlic, carrots, celery, onion, tomato paste, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and beef stock to prepare the broth.
  4. Transfer the seared roast to the oven; roast for 15 minutes at high heat before lowering to 325°F (165°C). Cook until desired doneness is reached.
  5. Remove from the oven and let rest for at least 20 minutes covered loosely with foil.
  6. For horseradish cream sauce, mix sour cream with prepared horseradish, dijon mustard, and mayonnaise.
