Main Ingredients
- 5 pounds standing prime rib roast Still with the bones tied on for maximum flavor.
- 1.5 tablespoons seasoned salt Enhances beef's natural flavors.
- 1.5 tablespoons garlic powder Adds aromatic depth.
- 1.5 tablespoons onion powder Complements garlic with a sweet undertone.
- 1 tablespoon black pepper Provides essential heat.
Instructions
Preparation
- Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and discard all packaging. Keep the butcher twine on the roast to hold the bones during cooking. Place the roast on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to create a flavorful dry rub.
- Generously coat all sides of the prime rib with the dry rub mixture, ensuring every nook and cranny is covered. Place the roast fat side up in the pan.
- Allow the roast to sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours before cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 500°F. Roast the prime rib for 5 minutes per pound for a total of 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, turn off the oven and do not open the oven door. Leave the roast inside for an additional 2 hours.
- Check the internal temperature; it should read between 125-130°F for medium-rare.
- Remove the roast from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
To enhance flavor, choose a quality roast with good marbling. Use a meat thermometer to monitor temperature. Letting the meat rest is crucial for juicy slices.
