Ingredients:

  • 1 prime rib roast (7 lbs, bone-in or boneless as per your choice)

  • 1 tbsp sea salt (adjust to taste)

  • Optional: Freshly ground black pepper


Instructions:


1. Preparation:

  • Remove the prime rib roast from the refrigerator approximately 2 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature. This step is crucial for ensuring even cooking.

  • Pat the roast dry with paper towels and season it generously with sea salt, and optionally, freshly ground black pepper. Ensure to season all sides for a uniform flavor.


2. Oven Searing:

  • Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 500°F (260°C).

  • Place the seasoned roast in a sturdy roasting pan or baking dish, positioning it with the fat side up.

  • Roast at 500°F for 15 minutes to create a rich, browned crust. Note: This may produce some smoke, so it's recommended to use your kitchen vent or open windows for ventilation.


3. Roasting:

  • After the initial sear, lower the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C).

  • Continue roasting the prime rib for approximately 13 minutes per pound. For a 7-pound roast, this would be about 1 hour and 30 minutes. However, adjust the time based on the size of your roast and desired doneness.

  • For a perfectly cooked prime rib, aim for an internal temperature of 115°F for rare or 120-130°F for medium-rare. Remember, the meat will continue to cook (carryover cooking) once removed from the oven.


4. Resting:

  • Once the roast reaches your desired internal temperature, remove it from the oven.

  • Transfer the roast to a cutting board and tent loosely with aluminum foil.

  • Allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes before carving. Resting is vital as it allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender prime rib.


5. Carving and Serving:

  • For a bone-in roast, slice the meat away from the bones and then carve it into thick slices.

  • For a boneless roast, simply slice crosswise into the desired thickness.

  • Serve the prime rib slices with your choice of sides and condiments.


Optional: Horseradish Cream Sauce

  • If desired, prepare a horseradish cream sauce by combining equal parts of sour cream and prepared horseradish, seasoned with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a dash of lemon juice. This tangy, spicy sauce pairs beautifully with the rich flavors of the prime rib.
