Chef bill hahne's blackened prime rib

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 8 oz prime rib 3/4\" thick
2 cups Melted butter, room temp
½ cup Bill's seasoning blend
1 White hot cast iron skillet

Directions

Dip meat in melted butter and evenly season both sides. Place in a white hot skillet. Cook on first side for 1½ minutes or until well charred.

Turn over and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Cooking time determines meat doneness. Two minutes produces a medium rare steak. Meat should be cooked no longer than 2 ½ minutes per side, because the "blackened" seasoning will burn. For well done, first cook meat in oven. Then perform the above steps and cook 1 minute per side.

Note: A large cast iron skillet should be placed on a very high heat approximately 30 minutes before blackening. "White hot" heat is reached when white ash appears on the bottom of the skillet. Surface should be clean, no oil. Wipe excess seasoning out of skillet when cooking large quantities.

Warning: This dish smokes considerably, so it is best cooked out of doors.
