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!

Two comments mentioned glass baking dishes breaking at hot temperatures. Use old (made in USA) glass, Pyrex, Corning, etc. and they will not shatter. It is the newer imported glassware which is shattering and it is dangerous. I had a new glass baking dish of macaroni and cheese blow up after I took it fro the oven. It sounded like a bomb.

Wonderful prime rib recipe!

Someone was asking about a good au jus. We usually make a 12-14 pound roast and I pour a bottle of cabernet in to the bottom of the pan. That keeps the smoke alarm from going off and makes a beautiful au jus!

Do you cover the prime rib while cooking or not?

8.8 lb roast rubbed and fresh from the fridge in 510°F preheated old electric oven for 1 hour returned awesome results if not just a little done for those liking lots of red

It smells yummy, Mine is cooking in the off mode now. Yum, it smells great. Prime rib at 500°F for 17 minutes, then turn off the oven and let it cook for 2 hours. Potato's are steaming, then shreading them and mixing them with sour cream, cheddar cheese, Jalapeno's, salt/pepper served with sauted spinach, and hard rolls. Steaing potatoes is healthier and I have done it for 3 years now and my daughter loves it.

Did not work at all. Not sure what I could have done wrong, didn't open the oven. Meat was raw inside.

Made this recipe tonight and it came out great. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because my oven only goes up to 500°F so I had to cook it a little longer. Otherwise, EXCELLENT!

I tried this method today Dec 25 and it was fantastic! I did a rub of coffee beans (2 hand fulls) about 3 tsp Kosher salt and 1 small hand full of whole black pepper corns I ran the beans and pepper thru a coffee grinder to a real course blend added the salt and pressed on the 5lb prime rib and followed the above reciepe, it was sooooo wonderful and mine didn't smoke. I used a enamel roasting pan that comes with a rack, and my Kenmore oven goes to 550°F. BTW this is the same recipe that the Joy of cooking uses. LOL. Joy of cooking says to bring out of frig for 2 hours before cooking. I will always cook mine this way!

Best prime rib I have ever cooked. I would suggest to use a throw away pan. My ceramic roaster was a mess! Thank goodness my oven is self cleaning also but it was worth it!

We did this for Christmas dinner and it was amazing! Once the house cleared of the smoke from cooking the prime rib at 550°F for 48 minutes! Loved it.

Tried this once and it was perfect. Now trying with two 6-lb roasts cooked in same pan. Suggestions on time? Stick with 5 min per lb for rare, or less time since it is not a single roast? They are bone-in.

This recipe worked great in my new oven but be caeful if your oven is in a cold room or basement the oven will coll too fast and meat will be undercooked
