Ingredients
  

  • Prime rib
  • Beef broth or au jus

Instructions
 

  • Take the prime rib out of the fridge 30 to 60 minutes before reheating, and preheat your oven to 250°F.
  • Set your leftover prime rib on a rack in a roasting pan and pour several tablespoons of leftover au jus or beef broth over it.
  • Cover the pan tightly with some aluminum foil and put it in the oven. This will ensure that the meat remains juicy.
  • Let the meat reheat until a thermometer in the center reads 120 to 125°F for medium-rare. A whole roast takes about 1 to 1½ hours, and thick slices take about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the reheated prime rib from the oven, place the pan on your countertop and pat the outside of the meat dry with paper towels.
  • Heat up a skillet on high flame and put some butter in it. Sear the meat for about 1 minute per side so that it becomes crispy on the outside.
  • Put the cooked prime rib in a platter and pour some au jus on it. That’s it, you can now serve the prime rib!

Notes

The USDA recommends reheating leftovers to 165°F. Prime rib heated that far will be well-done, so this method warms it gently to 120 to 125°F to keep the pink center. Start checking the temperature early, since a small roast or a few thick slices will be ready well before the full time.
