Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Remove your prime rib roast from the refrigerator 1 hour ahead of cooking.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Prepare a roasting pan fitted with a wire rack. Set aside.
  3. Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Then score the fat on the outside about 1/8-inch deep using a sharp knife in a diamond pattern.
  4. Rub the meat on all sides with the oil, followed by the salt and pepper. Place the roast fat-side up in the roasting pan.
  5. Add fresh herbs around the roast.
  6. Place the meat in the oven and roast for 10 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 325°F. Every 30-60 minutes, baste the meat by spooning of bulb-basting the pan juices onto the meat.
  7. After 60-90 minutes, start checking the internal temperature of the meat.
  8. Insert the probe of an instant-read thermometer into the center of the roast: 115°F is rare, 125°F is medium-rare, 135°F is medium, 140°F is medium-well and 145°F is well-done.
  9. When your desired doneness is reached, remove the roast to a carving board and cover with foil. Let it rest for about 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  10. Slice against the grain. Serve and enjoy!
