Instructions

1

Prepare the roast

Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator at least 2 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Pro tip: This ensures even cooking throughout the roast.

2

Season the meat

Generously season the roast with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped rosemary. Ensure all surfaces are covered.

Pro tip: Letting the seasoning sit on the meat will enhance the flavour.

3

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Pro tip: A hot oven will help create a delicious crust on the roast.

4

Roast the meat

Place the prime rib on a roasting pan with a rack and roast for 20 minutes at 450°F (232°C).

Pro tip: The initial high heat helps sear the outside.

5

Lower the temperature

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for an additional 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

Pro tip: Use a reliable meat thermometer for accuracy.

6

Rest the roast

Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before carving.

Pro tip: Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
