Step 1

The night before you cook your Prime Rib, Pat it dry, rub meat with salt, pepper and minced garlic. Place roast in fridge uncovered. This allows surface to dry, which helps the roast brown and maintains juiciness.

Bring Prime Rib to room temperature before roasting (takes 1-2 hours)

Step 3

Preheat oven to 475°F

Step 4

Place the meat on a roasting pan, fatty side up.

Step 5

Roast the meat at 475°F for 25 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 300°F

Step 6

Let the prime rib continue to cook for 15 minutes per pound of roast.

Step 7

Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. Prime Rib should not be cooked beyond Medium doneness. For Rare take the roast out of the oven when the internal temp is 115°F. For Medium Rare, take the roast out of the oven when it reaches 125°F.If you need a more well-done piece, use the ends, they will be more cooked. Yu can also place the cuts of prime rib in a pan with au jus to make the meat more well done.

Step 8
