Cooking Method (Oven Roasted)
High-Heat Start, Slow Finish Method
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Place sliced onions in a roasting pan and set the prime rib on top (fat side up).
- Roast uncovered at 450°F for 20 minutes to form a crust.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting:
| Doneness | Internal Temp | Time per lb |
|---|---|---|
| Rare | 120°F / 49°C | 13–14 min |
| Medium-Rare (BEST) | 130°F / 54°C | 15 min |
| Medium | 140°F / 60°C | 17 min |
- Remove roast 5–10°F before target temp (it continues cooking while resting).
Resting (Very Important)
- Tent loosely with foil
- Rest 30 minutes before slicing
- This keeps juices inside the meat
How to Slice
- Use a sharp carving knife
- Slice against the grain
- Cut thick slices for a steakhouse feel
Optional Pan Jus (Sauce)
- Place roasting pan on stove
- Add 1 cup beef broth
- Scrape browned bits
- Simmer 5 minutes
- Strain and serve warm
