Instructions
Roast
- The Prime Rib smokes during intial phase of roasting. I highly recommend using this device outdoors or in an area that would be appropriate for grilling when following this recipe.
- Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours before roasting.
- Press the roast button. Preheat to 450°F (232°C) and set the time to 15 minutes.
- In a bowl: combine all the rub ingredients together. Mix well. Set aside.
- Pat the prime rib dry using a paper towel.
- Rub the seasonings on the top and sides of the prime rib.
- Place the baking sheet (cooking pan) in the toaster ovens lowest position (to catch the dripppings). Add ½ cup water to the baking sheet.
- Place the prime rib on the oven rack. Transfer the rack to the toaster oven in the position directly above the drip pan.
- Set the cook time to 20 minutes for rare, 30 minutes for medium rare, 40 minutes for medium. Add additional ~6 minutes pre-pound if larger than 5 lbs.
- Once desired degree of doneness achived turn off toaster oven (if not using timer).
- Let the prime rib sit in the toaster oven for 1 ½ hours. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR!
- Note: The art of this dish comes from patience and participation. Keep a close eye and be ready with the temp gauge when time to open the door. For reference: rare (internal temp. 120°-125°F), medium rare (internal temp.130°-135°F), medium (internal temp. 140°-145°F).
- Open the door and confirm the anticipated Internal temperature using a meat thermometer.
- Remove the prime rib, place in a safe location (preferably indoors), and let it rest (uncovered) for an additional 20 minutes prior to carving.

- Add flour and whisk until no there are no lumps. Slowly pour in the beef broth and wine; continue to whisk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk for ~3 minutes or until optimal consistency.
- Strain the gravy using a fine wire mesh. With a whisk or wooden spoon gently work/press the gravy through the mesh.
