Choosing Your Prime Rib:
Look for a well-marbled prime rib roast at your local butcher shop. The size will depend on the number of people you are serving.
Simple Seasoning:
Prime rib is a flavorful cut of meat, so it doesn't require a lot of seasoning. A simple rub with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper is all you need. Add other herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavors.
The Sear and Roast:
Preheat your oven to high heat (usually around 450°F or 230°C). Sear the prime rib on all sides in a hot skillet. Then, transfer the seared roast to a roasting pan and reduce the oven temperature to low (around 250°F or 120°C).
Cooking to Perfection:
The key to a perfectly cooked prime rib is low and slow roasting. The exact cooking time will depend on the size of your roast & level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check. Aim for 120°F (49°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, and 140°F (60°C) for medium.
The Rest is Crucial:
Once the prime rib reaches the desired internal temperature, remove it from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes before carving to lock in all the juicer throughout the rib.
Carving Like a Pro:
Use a sharp carving knife to slice the prime rib against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding.
A perfectly cooked prime rib is a showstopper on any dinner table. The impressive presentation combined with the juicy and flavorful meat is a killer hit.
