Easy Prime Rib Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Allow the roast to sit uncovered in the fridge for 24 hours to dry it out (it will sear better!)
  • 2 hours before cooking, remove the roast from the fridge and allow to rest at room temperature
  • Preheat oven to 500
  • Rub butter on the ends of the roast, and cover with the beef base first, then the rub, working it in by hand. Use the rub generously...it's good stuff. Toss the sprigs on top and you're good t go
  • Now, you will need to know exactly how much your roast weighs for the next part.
  • Multiply the weight by 5, and this is how long you will be roasting at 500. For instance, if you have a 5 lb roast, 5 x 5 = 25 minutes of roasting time.
  • I had a 6 lb roast, so I roasted at 500 for 30 minutes. At precisely the end of that time, turn off the oven and leave it alone for 2 hours. Do not open the oven at all, or the method won't work. I had a hard time believing in this method, but finally gave it a shot and man, is it worth it. What you'll have is a perfectly cooked, medium rare rib roast. It's ready to serve as soon as the 2 hours is up. Hot, juicy, tender....mmmm
  • Give it a shot...you'll never cook it another way!
