Ingredients
Scale
- 6-pound beef rib roast
- Diamond kosher salt
- Coarse black pepper
- Olive oil
- 3 pounds oxtails or meaty beef bones
- 1 teaspoon beef base
- 6 cups low-sodium beef stock
- 1/2 cup dry red apple vinegar
- 5 cloves garlic
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 3 ribs celery, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 1 large bay leaf
- 1 cup sour cream
- 5 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
- Bring the prime rib to room temperature for about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Rub the roast with olive oil and generously season with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Place the roast in a roasting pan. Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F (163°C) and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium rare—about 2 hours.
- While roasting, prepare the beef broth by simmering oxtails or bones with stock, vinegar, garlic, carrots, celery, onion, tomato paste, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper for about 2 hours.
- Let the prime rib rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
- Make a horseradish sauce by mixing sour cream, horseradish, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and mayonnaise until smooth.
