  • Day of Instructions
  • One hour before cooking time, take the rib roast out of the refrigerator. Place the roast bone-side down on a roasting pan with the roasting tray.
  • Re-apply a coating of kosher salt.
  • After an hour, turn the oven to 450 degrees. Cook meat for 30 minutes.
  • Then turn oven down to 350 degrees. Continue cooking 12 minutes per pound.
  • For a medium-rare prime rib, when the roast hits 130 degrees, remove from oven. (See note for rare cooking time). Tent with foil. Let the meat rest for an hour. The meat will keep cooking under the foil.
  • After an hour, you can carve the meat. Serve with a scoop of horseradish dressing for a festive feast.

Notes

  • If you would like the meat more rare, remove from the oven when the meat reaches 120 degrees. Tent and let rest for an hour.
