How to make Wagyu Prime Rib the way a 5-star hotel makes it

While Kuala Lumpur is a bustling culinary scene with eateries that can satisfy any craving, anywhere and anytime of the day; nothing beats home-cooked food. And for some, the act of cooking itself is a passion, hobby and even therapeutic. To this group of people, dare we challenge you to attempt making a whole Wagyu Prime Rib.

Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur‘s restaurant Prime recently made it into Asia Pacific’s Top 52 Restaurants and Bars by Marriott Bonvoy. The list is a curation by Marriott International, featuring only the best of the best/one-of-a-kind dining experiences around Asia Pacific and Prime—with its fine, fine cuts of meats—is one of the three restaurants and bars that made it into the list. To celebrate, Prime will be hosting an activation week from now till 1 September 2019, featuring exclusive dishes that perfectly displays the restaurants finesse. One of them is the Wagyu Prime Rib, which you can otherwise also make at home with the recipe from Chef de Cuisine, Ramiro Moya, below.

WAGYU PRIME RIB—2 to 4 pax

INGREDIENTS

  • Prime Ribs, 1kg to 1.5kg
  • Sea salt
  • Sarawak black pepper
  • Corn oil

 

METHOD

  1. Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and let it sit, covered, at room temperature. Do this 20 minutes prior to grilling.
  2. Turn the grill to high heat.
  3. Brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the steaks on the grill, and grill until golden brown and slightly charred. Do this for about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill for another 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Finish cooking in the oven at 180 degree Celsius until done to your preference. Tip: 10 to 12 minutes for rare (an internal temperature of 32 degrees C) or medium-rare (an internal temperature of 46 degrees C), 5 to 7 minutes more for medium (56 degrees C) or 8 to 10 minutes additional for medium-well (60 degrees C). Leave it on longer for well-done.
  6. Remove the steak from the oven and allow the steak to rest on the rack for about 10 minutes. Cover and keep warm while resting.
  7. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Cut crosswise into 1-inch slices.
