This Asian-Glazed Prime Rib Roast offers a contemporary take on a time-honoured roast, perfect for creating an impressive, hearty meal without unnecessary fuss. A bone-in prime rib is marinated in a bold blend of soy, hoisin, and aromatic spices, then slow-roasted to an ideal medium-rare.

A final high-heat sear develops a caramelized and flavourful crust that locks in the juices, resulting in a robust and well-balanced dish that pairs with griddled veggies, jasmine rice, or keep it primal and eat it straight off the bone! Either way, this is the kind of steak that makes you question every other meal you have had.

This recipe was developed in an Ooni Pizza Oven, though alternative cooking methods are also provided for your convenience.

3. Best Sides for Prime Rib
Serve your Asian-glazed prime rib with a side of steamed or roasted vegetables, jasmine rice (or mashed potatoes) and a crisp salad. For an extra kick, pair with wasabi or horseradish on the side.
A bold red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or a robust Malbec complements the savory, umami-rich flavours perfectly.

Tips for Buying a Prime Rib
- Look for a roast with a bright, deep red colour and good marbling. Bone-in roasts are preferable as they tend to be more flavorful and retain moisture better.
- Butcher’s twine should be used to secure the roast, ensuring even cooking and a neat, professional presentation when sliced.
Cooking Tips
- Marinate as long as possible (up to 24 hours) to maximize flavour.
- Use a wireless thermometer to ensure accurate internal temperature. Refer to the Prime Rib Temperature Chart.
- A high-heat sear at the end locks in juices and develops a caramelized crust.
