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!

Followed the recipe to a T. Was aiming for rare to med-rare and hit medium well.

Works EVERY TIME. No mess, no fuss. The only thing I do different is use Lowerys Seasoning Salt instead of regular salt. Have never had a better recipe for Prime Rib. Enjoy!

I have used this method several times and it always turns out great. I buy a sealed boneless prime rib from Cash and Carry or a butcher. I pull the roast out about 1 hour before and rub it with the seasoning. I take a small steak knife and puncture the roast along the sinew to break it. I place it fat side up in a 2-inch hotel pan. My family likes it rare, I do 4 min per pound, you can always put the cooked prime rib in the au jus or on a grill if you don't like rare. I put a post it note on the door so no curious guests might open the oven if I'm out of the room, and when I pull it out, let it rest for 20 min while I cook the crescent rolls. I bake my potatoes in my 18 qt. roaster on 350°F for 2 hours. Easiest dinner to prep and cook. Enjoy

I just used Richard's recipe for a 21 lb prime rib, bone in roast today. This method was so perfect for the huge roast, and I was able to cook almost 90% of the roast to a beautiful medium rare, just like I wanted. The ends were more cooked, as expected. Thanks Richard, this will be my go to roasting method, even if the roast is smaller. This method made our party a huge success. :)

550 degrees is too hot. Use 500 degrees with this recipe.

From a Southern Cookbook, Room temp meat, season with L&P sauce, garlic salt/pepper, rosemary, thyme. Preheat oven to 375F. I put some water in roaster pan to minimize burning fat. Place in oven for 1 HR at 375°F. Turn off oven. Do not open oven door for 3 hours. Then turn on oven (at 375°F) for 30 minutes. Remove and rest for 15-20 minutes. Should be Rare to Med rare. Enjoy. This has worked for me.

I cooked this exactly like he said using the 5 min per lb recipe. Absolutely amazing. Thank you!!

 Julie (Michigan) says:
I have two eight pound roasts that I want to roast together, should I change the timing? I usually have one roast and cook for 6 minutes per pounds for perfect medium.

Have done this twice and it was perfect both times, thank you!

 TJ (Oregon) says:
I was a bit hesitant the first time I tried this. After all, this was an $90 Angus Roast. I have to say, I'll never cook a prime rib any other way. It came out perfect and I have done this 4 times now.
Thx Richard !!

Love it, but pan burns and you can not make gravy.

 Beth (United States) says:
Have used this recipe twice and came out perfect each time. This time I have a good two bones with meat on each side. My question, What can I make with leftovers? I was wondering about sliders for NYE party.... Any suggestions?

This recipe will make a hero out of you. This is my third time and I have yet to get a "what you should have done" from anyone, including the wife.
