Lunch: Three-Ingredient Prime Rib Roast

Coffee and prime rib seem like unlikely partners, but Ryan Farr's recipe reveals they both have an earthy quality that makes them a natural match. Just be sure to scrape off any excess coffee rub from the meat before serving.

Ingredients

1/3 c. finely ground coffee
2 tbsp. kosher salt
1 tbsp. Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 vanilla bean
1 bone-in prime rib roast (5 bones)

Instructions

In a bowl, thoroughly blend the coffee with the salt, pepper, and vanilla bean seeds. Set the rib roast in a roasting pan and rub it all over with the coffee mixture, concentrating most of the rub on the fatty part of the meat. Turn the roast bone side down and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450 °. Roast the meat for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 ° and roast for about 2 1/2 hours longer, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 125 ° for medium-rare.
Transfer the roast to a carving board and let rest for 20 minutes. Scrape off any excess coffee rub. Carve the meat in 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve.
