Going to try a Prime rib roast for Christmas dinner. Has anyone used their Instant Pot for this?

What is your favorite cut of roast for this and how did you prepare it?
How did you cook it?
Thanks!!

Last prices for Prime Rib I saw made my eyes Bug Out! Like 70-80.00 CDN for a fairly small roast.

Last one years ago, just done in the oven with a roasting pan. Nice to have the outside browned a bit.

I couldn't think of a less likely cooking method for me to prepare a beef rib roast. I'd put it in the oven.
Good luck.

When I do ribs in my Power Pressure Cooker, I put them in just long enough to get them about 3/4 cooked, then I put them in a BIG CI (pre heated under the broiler) skillet, with BBQ sauce on them, and finish under the broiler!

When they are browned, they are done!

Personally I would use a tried and true cooking method...especially with a high quality roast...most cuts of meat continue to cook after removing from the heat source...monitoring the internal temperature is paramount IMO...
With larger rib roasts it is not difficult to have it so the outer cuts are more well done and the inner cuts rare so there is something for everyone depending on what they prefer...I think a majority prefer prime rib on the rare side...!

bon appetit

Sharn Jean cooks a wonderful Prime Rib in the oven. She sprays it with olive oil, and seasons it with pepper and a little salt. I think If I had $80 invested in a roast, I would go the conventional oven route. She says the best results are achieved when you cook it slow; the Instant pot would defeat that. I might try it for a rump roast or an arm roast, but the rib roast is basically a huge rib eye. We have had prime rib on New Year's, a tradition for at least 40 years. We all look forward to it. We start looking for specials a couple of months before New Year's, and have managed to find them for about $9.99 a pound for the last few years.

There 's a lot of info on the internet on cooking Prime Rib; and I would start with a Prime cut if you can afford it, nothing less than a choice.

I am considering cooking one on the smoker.

Surprisingly, Gordon's Food Service sells a pre-cooked prime rib. All you have to do is slowly heat it up to 120. About $12 a pound. My sister-in-law has done this on occasion. It was quite good. :thumbsup:

Cooking a rib roast in a pot is akin to putting a silver saddle on a jackass.

That would be my thoughts - why an Instant Pot? I mean it doesn't hurt to experiment, but I believe I'd use a cheaper cut of meat.

I couldn't think of a worse way to treat a rib roast.
Smoke and cover with foil
Smoke and oven
Braise and oven
Just a few ways I would cook it .

I buy roasts on sale whenever I see them. It's about the cheapest way to eat beef these days. All cuts end up about the same in the slow cooker. Haven't wanted to shell out what they want for a steak a round here in a good long while.

And he is so right. I have always maintained that just because you have freedom of speech (kneeling during the National Anthem for instance), doesn't mean that there won't be repercussions.

So if putting a standing rib roast in a pot cooker makes it taste like an eye round I'm definitely out.

I'm just saying that I wouldn't put a high end roast in a slow cooker, but don't eat the cheapest either. However, they all turn out pretty much the same and we have never had a bad one. Not even half bad.

I happened to be at the store on sunday looking for dinner. Saw a 2 rib prime rib roast on sale and grabbed it...

Crunched for time I tried the instant pot.... And I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. I love prime Rib and usually do it in the oven.... But this was very good.

The gravy was excellent as well. It was medium rare...i was shocked that I could do this in an instant pot

Thanks... looks great. I understand both sides of this... Old school would oven cook. We have and it was great but.... Also understand many have no experience with a Instant Pot. We didnt when we bought ours and have been on a interesting adventure since. It dose what it does very well. Kind of like a air fryer. My wife would have no interest in it. Replaced our countertop toaster oven with one that also air frys.
She has been very impressed.

anyway might try this lonk with a regular roast first.
