Not The Oven, Not The Grill: Prime Rib Is Melt-In-Your-Mouth Tender When You Cook It Like This - Tasting Table

"Our recipe for delicious Instant Pot prime rib begins with searing the roast on all sides in melted butter. Do this in the pot before adding red wine, beef stock, and all your favorite seasonings. Once the meat has cooked, it must be rested and seared again to develop a proper crust and protect that juicy interior. Don't skip that step! Use the remaining liquid left in the pot to create a tasty au jus for serving, and you're done. It's just that simple."

"From start to finish, the whole process only takes about an hour and a half. But this expedited way to craft a steakhouse-worthy cut on your plate is not just faster; it's just as tasty. The Instant Pot prime rib turns out just as tender and juicy as the one baked in your oven or cooked on a grill. It just does so in considerably less time."

"All the ways that you might traditionally upgrade prime rib can be used to do so here. For one, you can rub an array of seasonings on the prime rib to infuse it with more flavor. While our recipe, developed by Kit Hondrum, calls for garlic, you can also use a handful of citrus zest to give your prime rib an exciting and flavorful pop. This will match the natural sweet undercurrents of the cut while also enhancing its aroma."

"Another savory addition to consider is MSG, which will hone the umami, resulting au jus into a steakhouse-worthy experience. Don't forget to enjoy your prime rib with any number of sides, from cauliflower and potatoes to green beans and roasted carrots."

Prime rib can be prepared faster without losing quality by using an Instant Pot. The roast is first seared on all sides in melted butter, then red wine, beef stock, and seasonings are added. After pressure cooking, the meat is rested and seared again to build a proper crust while protecting the juicy interior. The remaining cooking liquid is used to make au jus for serving. The full process takes about an hour and a half and produces tender, juicy meat comparable to oven-baked or grilled prime rib. Flavor can be enhanced with seasoning rubs such as garlic, citrus zest, and MSG for added aroma and umami. Serve with sides like potatoes, cauliflower, green beans, or roasted carrots.
