Ingredients

Instructions

1. Prepare the prime rib. Remove roast from refrigerator 45–60 minutes before cooking. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.

2. Preheat oven to 250°F. Place prime rib fat-side up on a rack in a roasting pan.

3. Slow roast. Cook until the internal temperature reaches approximately 115°F for a medium-rare finish, about 2–3 hours depending on thickness. Use a meat thermometer rather than relying on time alone.

4. Make the chimichurri crust. Combine panko, Parmesan, olive oil, rosemary, and ¼ cup MOB Chilean Chimichurri in a bowl. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

5. Add the crust. Remove roast from the oven. Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Brush the roast with Dijon mustard and press the breadcrumb mixture firmly over the top and sides.

6. Finish roasting. Return the roast to the hot oven for approximately 8–12 minutes, until the crust is golden and crispy. For medium-rare, aim for a final internal temperature of approximately 130–135°F, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.

7. Rest and slice. Allow the roast to rest for 15–20 minutes before carving. Serve with the remaining ¼ cup MOB Chimichurri on the side.

Chef's Tips

  • For the crispiest crust: Make sure the breadcrumbs are evenly coated but not overly wet. Add a little extra panko if needed.

  • Prepare ahead: Season the roast the night before and refrigerate uncovered for a more flavorful crust. Keep the breadcrumb mixture refrigerated separately.

  • Temperature matters: A thermometer is essential. For food safety, USDA recommends cooking beef roasts to 145°F with a 3-minute rest; medium-rare temperatures below that recommendation carry additional risk.

  • Perfect pairings: Serve alongside MOB Chimichurri Roasted Carrots, crispy potatoes, or roasted Brussels sprouts.

Why it works: MOB Chilean Chimichurri brings bold garlic, parsley, oregano, and a touch of acidity that cuts through the richness of prime rib. Combined with crispy Parmesan breadcrumbs, it creates a flavorful crust that makes this holiday roast anything but ordinary.
