Prime Rib - It's Easier Than You Think

When I first tried cooking prime rib, I was nervous; it cost a lot of money, and I didn't want to ruin it. Well it turns out prime rib is easy but it is essential that you have a good thermometer. You probably spent $30+ on the meat. Save your investment and spend another $25 on a good thermometer with a probe and an alarm if you don't have one already. By following the rule about the temperature, you can scale this recipe. Cut the bones off the bottom of the roast and serve separately or save for another time. Slice the roast and serve with creamy horseradish, if desired.

Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 1 (5 pound) bone-in beef prime rib roast

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons Montreal-style steak seasoning (such as McCormick®)

  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder


Directions

  1. Place roast, bone side down, in a roasting pan.

  2. Mix olive oil, steak seasoning, garlic, Italian seasoning, and mustard powder together in a small bowl; spread over the roast. Allow roast to come to room temperature, about 45 minutes.

  3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  4. Bake roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Insert a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the roast away from the bone.

  5. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Continue to cook in the oven to your desired degree of doneness, or an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) for medium, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
