How to Make Prime Rib with Jalapeño Crema & Roasted Maple Brussels ‘n Carrots

When you want a show-stopping, mouthwatering, savory roast as your meal’s centerpeice, you want Omaha Steaks Bone-In Frenched Prime Rib Roast! This epic roast owes its rich flavor and juiciness to its intense marbling and its next-level tenderness to its 28+ day aging process. It’s been hand-selected and expertly cut by Omaha Steaks master butchers to deliver a decadent prime rib you just need to season and roast! Before you get started on this luxurious recipe, make sure you plan ahead so your flash-frozen-to-perfection roast can thaw in the refrigerator over 2 days – you won’t be disappointed!

1. Blend Up a Spicy Crema

It may taste complex, but creating this flavor-packed crema couldn’t be easier! Start by adding olive oil to a small saucepan, and then bring it to medium heat. Next, add your earthy and spicy jalapeños, mild yellow onions, and pungent garlic to the pan, sauté them for 1 minute, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and then sauté for an additional minute.

Allow your mixture to come to room temperature, then place in a food processor and blend until it’s finely minced. Finally, add your tangy and rich sour cream, tart apple cider vinegar, peppery chopped cilantro, kosher salt, black pepper, umami-packed Worcestershire sauce, acidic lime juice, and spicy hot sauce to the food processor and blend until thoroughly combined, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Roast Some Sweet Veggies

If you’ve spent your life eating vegetables for health and not flavor, get ready to treat your taste buds to this exquisite vegetable side! While your oven is preheating to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, add your blanched and halved earthy Brussels sprouts, blanched and cut sweet carrots, buttery garlic, salt, pepper, spicy crushed red pepper, and olive oil to a large baking sheet and toss.

Next, place the mixture in the oven, cook for 10 minutes, toss and flip, then place back in oven for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until they’re charred to your desired brownness. Remove your roasted veggies from oven and toss with sticky-sweet maple syrup and tangy sherry vinegar, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

3. Sear a Seriously Delicious Roast

The star of the show is ready for its close-up! Once your mouthwatering 4 lb. Omaha Steaks Bone-In Frenched Prime Rib Roast has finished thawing, whisk your kosher salt, black pepper, peppery oregano, sweet and nutty cumin, and warm and sharp marjoram in a small bowl. Next, remove your roast from the refrigerator, pat it dry on all sides with paper towels (so the seasonings stick better), then rub it all over with 1/3 cup of your high-smoke-point grapeseed oil and season it generously all over with your seasoning mixture.

While you’re allowing your roast to come to room temperature over about 30 minutes, preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Once your roast is room temperature, add the remaining grapeseed oil to a large cast-iron pan and bring it to medium-high heat. Sear your roast on all sides until it’s golden brown all over, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Now it’s time to place your seared roast on a wire rack-lined sheet pan and put it in the preheated oven. Cook until the internal temperature is 10 degrees below your desired cooking doneness – which should take about 1 hour 30 minutes for a recommended medium-rare doneness. Craving a different doneness? Refer to Omaha Steaks convenient roast cooking chart to determine how long your roast should cook. Once cooked, allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing, then serve it with your jalapeño crema and roasted vegetables and enjoy!
