Instructions

  • Take your roast out of the fridge, pat it dry, season with our prime rib rub and place on a roasting pan.
  • Allow the roast to sit out while the oven preheats to 500F with the rack left in the center.
  • Once preheated, place the roast in the oven then immediately reduce the heat to 475F.
  • Cook for 7 minutes per pound (31 minutes at this size), then shut the oven off without opening it once. You will likely leave it for about an additional 45 minutes to get to at least 130F. Then allow it to rest, tented to bring it 135F-140F for medium rare.
  • Allow it to rest after for 15 minutes, then slice thin.
