Cooking Method (Oven Roasted)

 

High-Heat Start, Slow Finish Method

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Place sliced onions in a roasting pan and set the prime rib on top (fat side up).
  3. Roast uncovered at 450°F for 20 minutes to form a crust.
  4. 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
  1. 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)

  1. Place roasting pan on stove
  2. Add 1 cup beef broth
  3. Scrape browned bits
  4. Simmer 5 minutes
  5. Strain and serve warm
