PERFECT PRIME RIB EVERYTIME 
prime rib roast with or without bone (any size)
bottom round center cut

Preheat oven to 550°F degrees.

Make a rub of salt, pepper and garlic powder and apply to meat. Place meat in a shallow roasting pan fat side up.

Roast at 550°F at 5 minutes per pound for RARE, or 6 minutes per pound for MEDIUM and 7 minutes per pound for WELL DONE.

Turn off oven at the end of cooking time and DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR FOR TWO HOURS.

At the end of the 2 hours, remove meat from oven to slice; it comes out perfect everytime.

Works the same with Roast beef. The next time you want an easy hands-off, tender and juicy roast, try this recipe - you won't be disappointed!

Love this recipe- perfect every time! Does this recipe work on rump roast?

 BonJon (North Carolina) says:
I've made this with a roast large enough to feed 8 and it worked perfectly. This year when these roasts went on sale, all the roasts were cut 1 or 2 bones only! Largest I could find, almost 4 lbs, was barely 2 1/2 inches thick. This recipe used on a roast that thin produced Medium Well done roast after only 1 hour of the oven turned off. Oh well. It was perfect last time!

I have used this very successful method many times and passed it on to others. My #1 advice: Start with a completely clean oven or your house will smell terrible from the 550°F temp.

This is for everyone...
Check your oven temps with a cheap oven thermometer.
ALL ovens are off, some by huge margins!!!
Mine is off by almost 20 degrees, low.
You need to compensate for the difference in the temps.
I SAW A POST THAT ONE WOMAN SAID THE PRIME RIB WASN'T DONE. I can guarantee that here oven temp was way off.

 Fely Miller (Hawaii) says:
My oven does not go up to 550°F, what changes do I need to make?

 Denise (Pennsylvania) says:
I tried this for my first time making prime rib. It worked and the meat was excellent.
Will use this method for all red meat. May even try it for pork.

OMG, talk about a PERFECT recipe!!! I was little leery about using this recipe on my 10 1/2 pound Easter dinner prime rib but boy was I wrong. Excellent!!!

 Bad (Nebraska) says:
This sucks, I did it and opened the oven and it was RAW! Not recommended for this cooking thing. Very bad idea!
   #183939
 Sue M. (California) says:
I've got two smaller roasts totaling 4.5 lbs. Should I calculate based on total weight, or will that overcook the meat? I did a whole PR roast the first time and it was perfect! Now concerned because it's 2 smaller pieces of roast beef.
   #183557
 Steve (Texas) says:
PR was 5.6 lbs, rounded to 6... cooked for 30 minutes for rare. Came out perfect !!

 Judy (South Carolina) says:
My oven has a cooling fan which turns on as soon as I turn my oven off, so the shutting off won't work for me. Is there another way or perhaps a low temperature I can continue to roast until my desired doneness? I made this on Christmas Eve, but we had to slice and put back under the broiler to finish roasting. Thank you.
 #183504
 Bill (Georgia) replies:
Judy, the easiest thing to do if your oven has a cooling fan is to shut the breaker off at your electrical box! They are generally marked and your oven will be on its own breakers so nothing else in the house will be bothered. Merry Christmas and enjoy your prime rib!

Very true to Charlie Brown's....

I use this method for prime rib. Could I use this same method on a Brisket in my oven? Thanks for any comments or has anybody tried it?
