The Ultimate Prime Rib Guide
Prime rib is the perfect centerpiece for any special meal. Its tenderness and rich flavor make it a must-try dish. Here’s how to cook the perfect prime rib:
Choosing the Right Cut
Opt for a bone-in prime rib roast, around 6-8 pounds, as the bone adds flavor and juiciness.
Seasoning & Preparation
Rub the roast with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper. Optionally, insert garlic cloves for extra flavor.
Cooking the Prime Rib
Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Place the roast on a rack in a pan and coat with olive oil and seasoning.
Roast at 500°F for 15 minutes to create a crust. Lower the temperature to 325°F (160°C) and roast until desired doneness. Use a thermometer:
Medium-rare: 135°F (57°C)
Medium: 140°F (60°C)
Well-done: 150°F (66°C)
Rest Before Slicing
Let the roast rest for 15-20 minutes to keep it juicy and tender.
Enjoy a delicious, perfectly cooked prime rib!
