Juicy Prime Rib Roast

Prime rib, also known as standing rib roast, is prized for its marbling, tenderness, and deep beef flavor. When cooked correctly, it requires very little seasoning—just good technique. This recipe gives you a juicy center, flavorful crust, and melt-in-your-mouth texture every time.

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
