Ingredients
  

  • 6-7 lbs Prime Rib Roast (or 3 bones Prime Rib Roast)
  • To taste Kosher Salt
  • To taste Black Pepper

Step-by-step Guide

  • A day before cooking, season your prime rib roast, wrap with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge overnight. Take out the meat 2 hours beforehand and let it sit at room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven at 450°F (230°C).
  • Place the thawed prime rib on a roasting pan with a rack between them. Let the fat side up and rib bones down. Roast for 30 minutes.
  • Lower the temperature to 350°F (176°C) and keep roasting for around 75 minutes for medium rare.
  • Check the internal temperature by inserting a meat thermometer, make sure the thermometer is not touching the bones. Take it out when the thermometer registers 5-10°F lower than desired doneness.
  • Wrap it lightly with aluminum foil and let it rest for around 20 minutes. Enjoy!

Cooking Tips

  1. Before roasting, bring the meat to room temperature and preheat the oven. These are essential for even cooking.
  2. If you do not have a rack for the oven, you can roll the aluminum foil and make it in a swirl shape. Put them under the roast so that the meat will not directly touch the roasting pan. Otherwise, as it cooks, the surface will be soaked in oil and not crispy.
  3. Place the prime rib roast fat side up and rib bones down to keep it moist.
