Perfect Prime Rib Roast
Perfect Prime Rib Roast – a good Perfect Prime Rib Roast is minimally seasoned and roasted in a hot oven until the exterior is crackling and browned, the inside juicy and red.
A little horseradish sauce might be served on the side, but good beef doesn’t need it
The night before you are going to cook the prime rib, unwrap the roast and season the roast generously with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper or herb salt.
Let it sit uncovered in the refrigerator.
This will dry out the surface, which makes it easier to get a nice brown color on the roast.
Perfect Prime Rib Roast Recipe
Remove the roast from the refrigerator 2 or 3 hours before cooking.
Preheat oven to 450.
Rub butter on the cut ends of the roast.
Combine flour, salt and pepper together in a small bowl, and then massage the mixture all over the meat.
Set the roast, rib side down, in a shallow roasting pan (the ribs act as a natural rack), and place in the oven.
Roast for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, or until the roast is nicely darkened.
Reduce oven to 350 and continue to roast, basting every 15 or 20 minutes, until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees (for medium-rare) on an instant-read thermometer.
Remove the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes before carving into either huge slabs or off the bone entirely and then thin slices.
