How to Cook Prime Rib Roast

1. Remove your roast from all its packaging and let it sit out for an hour until it's about room temperature.
2. If desired, prepare the prime rib rub recipe and mix with the butter. If not, just use plain butter.
3. Take the butter and cover the top of the roast and the ends.
4. Preheat your oven to 450°F.
5. Once it's covered, place on a wire rack in a pan deep enough to catch the drippings.
6. Now we want to sear the roast. Place it in the 450 degree oven for about 20 minutes.
7. Turn down the oven to 325 degree and cook some more. Below are guidelines for roasting a prime rib roast .You want to pull the roast out a minimum of 10 degrees BEFORE you hit these temperatures.
8. Once the roast is out, tent it with foil, and let it sit for about 20 minutes. The temperature will rise at least another 10 degrees if you cover it in foil. It also lets the juices set and flow back to the meat.
9.  Now it's time to remove the bones. You want to slice along the curve of the bones and remove the meat. Slice it off, then slice as you would normally slice a roast. If you have a boned and rolled roast, simply remove the strings and lift the meat off the bones and onto a cutting board.
10. Serve and enjoy!
