Prime Rib Roast

Ingredients

Tip:
The Roast should be at room temperature before roasting in the oven.

Prepare the roast and allow it to sit in the pan with the seasoning on it for about 20 minutes or more before roasting.

Don’t add water or any liquid to the pan.

Letting the roast rest after cooking before slicing allows it to retain its juices.

A bone in the roast may need a little more cooking time.

An instant-read digital meat thermometer makes it easy to get a fast an accurate reading on the meat temperature.

Prime Rib Roast, Onion Crusted

Preheat oven to 220°C.
Place beef, fat side up, on rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Sprinkle all sides and underneath the beef generously with garlic powder, dried onion flakes, salt and pepper. Allow prepared roast to sit for at least 20 minutes before placing in the oven to roast.
Place roast uncovered in oven and cook for 15 minutes at 220°C. Then, lower temperature to 170°C for approximately 60 – 90 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted into the middle of the roast reaches 63°C (for medium). The temperature will rise approximately 12 – 15 °C once it is removed.
Remove roast and let stand about 15 – 20 minutes before slicing. The temperature will rise slightly while it rests, so be sure to keep that in mind when considering cooking time and desired level of doneness.
