Christmas dinner might as well be Thanksgiving’s twin: family, friends, and a huge feast that leaves you feeling sluggish and full of regret. In an attempt to keep you light and bikini ready this holiday, we’re providing you with a few recipes leading up to Christmas. Our first is our bikini friendly Roasted Prime Rib fit for a queen.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 6)
• 5 lbs prime rib roast
• 2 springs of fresh rosemary
• 6 sage leaves
• 4 shallots
• 5 cloves of garlic
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Black pepper
DIRECTIONS
• Preheat oven to 500ºF
• Pat the roast dry with paper towels. If it is not already bound, you will need to wrap it with some cooking twine.
• Rinse the rosemary and sage. Peel and quarter the shallots. Peel 2 cloves of garlic and leave the rest unpeeled.
• Place the prime rib in a heavy bottomed roasting tin. Add the unpeeled garlic cloves, shallots and bruised sage leaves. Make some slits in the meat and insert the peel garlic cloves and rosemary. Pour the olive oil over the meat.
• Put the tin in the hot oven and seal the meat for 20 minutes, turning the joint on its sides a couple of times.
• Reduce heat to 325ºF and continue roasting for 30 minutes.
• Remove the beef from the roasting tin and transfer to a carving board.
• Cover the roast in aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
• Once the roast is done resting, take off foil and carve.
