We have used this method of 550°F per pound for the last seven years. It works on any size rib roast with bone included. Our butcher slices the meat away from the bone and ties the meat to the bone. We have tried it at 5 minutes per pound and at 6 minutes. It worked absolutely great every time. But it unnerved us at first since the roast costs so much. Our guests could not get enough of it. But as they say don't open that oven door. Be patient and be rewarded. We use a heavy roasting pan with a rack. We have prepared it with seasoning and with out and they both taste great. Its important to use a supplier you trust for the roast for the best piece of meat.

Not sure where I went wrong. Mine came out too rare, even the ends were rare, and the oven was barely warm at time to take out of the oven. Just put it back in oven at 400°F for 30 minutes to see how it goes.

Perfect! Our 5 1/2- 2 bone Prime Rib was perfect. This is the easiest and best way to cook a prime rib roast. I always cook a roast this way.

I have been using this method for prime rib since I discovered this recipe. It is perfect every time for a roast around 7 lbs. However...tried it with a full rack for Christmas about 18 lbs and it came out way overdone. What changes do I make for a full rack?

Never made prime rib in my life and only had a 3.2lb one and was so worried about doing this with leaving the oven off for 2 hours, but it was perfect.

I have done this twice. It comes out absolutely delicious.

This recipe is fantastic, used it yesterday to cook rib roast. One tip, you need to have plenty of fluid in the roasting pan to keep the meat from burning / smoking. I filled the roasting pan with 1/2-inch of beef broth and it came out perfectly.

Have made this way for years only addition is to spread with Dijon mustard before kosher salt and fresh ground perfect every time!!!

I have spent years preparing prime rib roasts, and have used this method every time. It is perfection.

Perfect every time, and there is well done for those who like it, and medium rare, and medium, all on the same roast...

WOW, A friend of mine gave me this recipe about two month's ago. I bought a 5 lb. prime rib,(boneless), tried it and it was perfect. I'm going to buy another one today and do it again.

My prime rib roast came out perfect! I was really nervous as it was my first time cooking one and it was very expensive. The only thing I did different was cut off some of the time in the first step to ensure it would be rare. Thanks so much.

Best Prime Rib Ever

I have been using this recipe for years now. Had to make a little adjustment since my oven now does not heat to 550°F. it always is amazing. just a little note, when you think you have salted enough, salt more, pepper more and garlic more. Trust me.

I have to admit I had my doubts about this recipe. Boy was I wrong and am so glad that I was. Mine just came out of the oven and I am enjoying as I type. So tender, so juicy, so damn good. Thanks for this great recipe. I would absolutely recommend this to the Queen of England, lmao!AAAAAAAAAA Back to my meat! Enjoy!
