Deep-Fried Prime Rib Roast

If you’re a fan of deep-fried turkey, you’ll love this deep-fried roast. You’ll need a turkey pot with hook and stand or boiling basket, one long slim knife, like a fillet knife, along with paper towels or bread slices for soaking up the grease.

Ingredients

• 1 prime rib (or large cut of beef)
• 3 gallons peanut oil
• 2 teaspoons ground rosemary (or freshly chopped fresh rosemary)
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps to Make It

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. The night before you plan to serve your prime rib, mix salt, pepper, and rosemary and rub the meat with it liberally.
3. Cover the meat and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
4. The roast needs to come to room temperature before frying, so remember to remove it from the refrigerator around an hour to an hour and a half before frying.
5. Heat 3 gallons of peanut oil to 360 F.
6. Slowly lower the prime rib into 350 F oil. You can expect the oil to drop in temperature quickly, probably down to approximately 325 F. Turn the heat up on the burner to bring back up to 350 F and then level off temperature.
7. Cook the prime rib for 3 minutes per pound of weight for medium-rare steaks or 4 minutes per pound for medium.
8. Carefully remove from hot oil and let rest for 10 minutes.
9. Try using sliced bread to drain on versus paper towels.
10. Let rest for a few minutes and then slice.
11. Serve and enjoy!
