Instructions
 

Ribs

  • Take the prime rib out of the refrigerator and let it sit at
  • room temperature for 1 hour. This will help the meat cook
  • evenly.
  • Preheat your oven to 450°F.
  • Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels and rub it all over
  • with the olive oil.
  • Season the prime rib generously with salt and pepper.

  • Place the prime rib, fat side up, in a roasting pan and roast it
  • in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and continue roasting
  • the prime rib until it reaches an internal temperature of
  • 120°F to 125°F for medium-rare, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Check
  • the temperature with a meat thermometer inserted into the
  • thickest part of the roast.
  • Remove the prime rib from the oven and let it rest for 15
  • minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout
  • the meat and make it easier to carve.
