Spice-Crusted Prime Rib

• 1 four-rib beef rib roast (about 7 lbs.)
• 1 tablespoon green peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon pink peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon white peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon whole allspice
• 1 tablespoon coarse salt
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons packed light or dark brown sugar

1. Let beef come to room temperature 1 hour. Preheat oven to 500u0b0. Set beef in a large roasting pan, rib side down, and roast 30 minutes to render off some fat.
2. Transfer beef to a platter and reduce oven temperature to 350u0b0. Drain fat from pan, then return beef to pan, rib side down. Set aside.
3. Grind peppercorns, allspice, and salt in a spice grinder until coarsely ground. Put in a small bowl and mix with remaining ingredients to make a thick paste. Use a small spatula to spread paste evenly over top and sides of beef.
4. Cook beef until well browned and a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part reads 115u0b0, about 1 1/2 hours for medium rare (temperature will rise to at least 135u0b0 as it stands). Cover beef loosely with foil and let stand about 30 minutes before slicing.
5. Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
