Wherever I am in the world, whether it’s basking in the stunning sunsets of Seattle or navigating the bustling side streets of Tokyo, one recipe maintains a fond space in my heart – and that’s the Horseradish and Garlic Prime Rib. This dish not only honors my Japanese heritage and Pacific Northwest upbringing but also upholds the respect for fresh, vibrant ingredients that pair wonderfully to create a symphony on the palate.
The Intriguing Fusion of Flavours
What makes this recipe so compelling to me is the intriguing blend of flavors that harmonize together. You have the hearty heat from the horseradish and the robust aroma of fresh garlic. Together, they lend complexity to the recipe and punctuate the rich, juicy prime rib. The contrast of these flavors creates an experience that’s both familiar and unexpected.
Fit for Your Health
Not only is the Horseradish and Garlic Prime Rib a flavorful celebration of my bi-coastal roots, it is also a boon to your health. Prime rib is a powerhouse of lean proteins and essential vitamins, such as B12. Additionally, horseradish is known for its myriad health benefits, such as boosting the metabolism and stimulating digestion.
Possible Pairings
The Horseradish and Garlic Prime Rib pairs delightfully with a range of dishes. If you’re a fan of mashed potatoes, you’re in luck. The savory gravy that results from this recipe works wonders with fluffy, creamy potatoes. For a balanced meal, consider a refreshing garden salad on the side. The zesty dressing of salad plays well with the hearty prime rib.
In essence, this recipe encompasses my fascination for food – the balance, the fusion, and respect for ingredients reminiscent of my culinary journey. Each time I prepare the Horseradish and Garlic Prime Rib, it feels like I’m bridging the gap between Seattle and Japan, right there in my kitchen. I hope you enjoy it just as much as I do.
What You’ll Need
- 1 (10 pound) prime rib roast
- 10 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 cup prepared horseradish
Method
Step One
Preheat your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius). Take your 10 pound prime rib roast and place it in a roasting pan with the fatty side up. The ribs should act as a natural roasting rack.
Step Two
In a small bowl, combine 10 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of salt, 2 teaspoons of ground black pepper, and 2 teaspoons of dried thyme. Massage this mixture over the roast, and ensure it is evenly distributed.
Step Three
Put the roast in the preheated oven and roast it for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, reduce the temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and continue roasting for an additional 60 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on how you like your roast. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the roast is cooked to your liking.
Step Four
While the roast is in the oven, you can prepare the horseradish sauce. You will need 1 cup of prepared horseradish. For a thicker sauce, you can mix your horseradish with sour cream or mayonnaise, depending on your personal preference.
Step Five
Once the roast is done, remove it from the oven, and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the roast. Carve the roast and serve with the horseradish sauce on the side.
