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!

Perfect Prime Rib Everytime!

I've made 3 of these so far and every single one was done to perfection. Most ovens don't go as high... Just use your highest temp and it won't make a difference. Absolutely fabulous and thank you for sharing!

We love prime Rib, but we always buy it with the bone, does this work the same way? If so I would love to try this recipe, we are having a lot of family for Christmas dinner.

I have made this several times. Its always perfect. Always a hit. When I tell people they can hardly believe it. But when they try it they say the same thing. This is a perfect 10 recipe.

Best recipe everrrr! Literally just finished eating and both my husband and son absolutely loved it! We are so amazed at how easy it was! They even told me it might be better than my penne a la vodka which has been their top favorite! My son is a VERY picky eater by the way. Thank you so much for this perfect recipe.

This is my first time cooking prime rib. It was perfect. My husband said it was worth a slice - so thank you! It really was perfect prime rib! Cooked uncovered. The house filled with smoke but it was worth it. Used coconut oil on the outside before rubbing with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. It was AMAZING!

I would suggest that this method will produce a 1 to 2 inch grey "ring" around a nice rosy medium rare center. Having tried this approach I recommend the the author consider the following:
> what is the minimum number of ribs that work with this recipe? A rib on roast can weigh anywhere from say 11 to 15 lbs and the size of the oven will impact the rate the heat is absorbed by the meat.
> considering standing the meat for up to 1hr prior to roasting depending on size of roast
> you would not materially effect the outcome if once you placed the meat in the oven you merely took the cooking temp to say 325 and still walked away.
> after you work in the rub - drizzle olive oil on the roast
>consider taking 1/4 inch slices of yellow onion and placing in a line down the top of the roast - it enhances the transport of aroma around the house and does a little bit to flavor the drippings.

Could you use the perfect prime rib recipe for a 6 lb boneless beef tenderloin ?

Not sure how perfect this is going to be- so far my pyrex glass pan exploded in my oven causing the glass to the oven door to crack- able to salvage the roast, though. Crossing my fingers this turns out yummy.

We used this method for new years the big prob was that we couldn't stop eating! It is the best I and a few great friends have ever had and it was fun cooking it.

I have used this a few times and each time it has been "perfect".

 Greg (Wisconsin) says:
I was skeptical at first, but this cooking method worked GREAT! I even cooked several good sized baking potatoes on the top rack (came out a little gummy tho). 6 lb roast, 36 min on high came to a beautiful medium rare. I will do this again.

 Linda (Ohio) says:
All the positive comments makes me want to try out myself. Does anyone have any advise on the amount of dry rub per pound of the roast?

 TENA (Ontario) says:
Is a plain roasting pan okay-should you have a rack underneath roast-is it covered or not
