This Pho-Spiced Prime Rib Roast combines the bold flavors of pho spices with the luxurious tenderness of a holiday roast, perfect for impressing guests during special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 67 lbs prime rib roast, bone-in or boneless
  • Kosher salt
  • Pho spice blend (star anise, cinnamon sticks, cloves, cardamom pods, coriander seeds, fennel seeds)
  • 68 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-inch piece ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup beef broth (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Toast star anise, cinnamon sticks, cloves, cardamom pods, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Let cool and grind into a fine powder using a spice grinder.
  2. Generously rub the prime rib with kosher salt. Mix the ground spices, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, brown sugar, and vegetable oil into a paste. Coat the roast evenly with the paste.
  3. Cover the roast and refrigerate for 12-24 hours to allow the spices to penetrate deeply.
  4. Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Place the seasoned prime rib on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare (about 3-4 hours).
  5. Remove the roast from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 30 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  6. Heat a skillet over high heat. Sear the roast on all sides to create a golden, crispy crust. This takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
  7. Slice the roast into thick pieces and serve with a side of beef broth or au jus for dipping. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for a pho-inspired finish.
