Classic Prime Rib Roast

During the holiday season (or any season, for that matter), you can't go wrong with this Classic Prime Rib Roast recipe! We are keeping it simple with Member's Mark™ Black Peppercorn and Pink Himalayan Salt Grinders - which only enhance the flavor of the prime rib, rather than covering it up!
Total Time 5 hours 35 minutes

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Remove prime rib from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 3 hours.
  • Thirty minutes before cooking, preheat the oven to 500℉.
  • Generously season the roast on all sides with Member's Mark™ Himalayan Pink Salt Grinder and Member's Mark™ Black Peppercorn Grinder.
  • Use kitchen twine to tie the roast into a uniform shape. (See notes above.)
  • Place the roast fat-side up on a roasting rack set inside a pan.
  • Place the roast in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Depending on the size of your prime rib, you can calculate the roasting time by multiplying the weight (in pounds) by 5.
  • After the roasting time, turn off the oven and do not open the door. Let the roast rest inside for 2 hours.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness if unsure — aim for 130°F for medium-rare.
  • After 2 hours, remove from the oven, slice, and serve immediately.
