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!

 Jan (California) says:
I had a 13 pound roast, which I cut in half because we like the seasoned ends (yum). It came out absolutely perfect - all-over medium rare slices. We enjoyed it, but would have liked it to be just a bit warmer, Next time I may turn the oven back on to 400°F or so for the last 10 minutes or so, just to warm the meat up a bit more before serving.

I use a different rub on my rib roast. For a 4 lb roast, I combine a 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, softened, 1 tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper and 1 teaspoon of Herb de Provence. I spread the butter mixture evenly over the roast. I then season the roast generously with kosher salt on all sides. Don't be afraid to use too much salt. The roast will come out of the oven with a nice crust. All of the other rubs are great but I wanted to share my rub. Bon appetite!

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!

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.

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.

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.

 Nick (Maryland) says:
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.
