🥘Ingredients

For the Prime Rib

2.5 lb beef prime rib roast
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup black pepper
2 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp dried rosemary
2 tbsp dried thyme

For the Sauce

1 cup red wine
1 cup beef broth
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme.
2Rub the mixture evenly over the prime rib roast, ensuring all sides are well coated.
3This will create a flavorful crust and season the meat thoroughly.
4Place the seasoned prime rib roast in the crock pot, fat side up.
5Pour the red wine, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce around the roast.
6The liquid should come about halfway up the sides of the roast.
7Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
8The meat should be tender and easily pierced with a fork.
9Remove the roast from the crock pot and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
10This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy and flavorful result.
11While the roast is resting, prepare the sauce.
12Strain the cooking liquid from the crock pot into a saucepan.
13In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
14Add the slurry to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
15Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens.
16This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
17The sauce should coat the back of a spoon and have a glossy sheen.
18Slice the prime rib against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices.
19This will help to maximize tenderness and flavor.
20Arrange the slices on a serving platter and spoon the sauce over the top.
21Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious crock pot prime rib.
