Notes

  • Bone-In: If you opt for a bone-in prime rib, you can ask the butcher to remove the bone and tie it back onto the roast for cooking. This ensures that the bones will serve as a convenient rack for the meat while allowing easy removal before carving. 
  • Boneless: If you choose a boneless cut, it's best to place it on a rack during roasting.
  • Internal Temperature: Cook to temperature, as a general guideline expect to cook 11-12 minutes per pound to reach rare. 
  • 115-120˚F for rare
  • 125-130˚F for medium-rare
  • 135-140° F for medium
  • 145-150 F° for medium well
