Prime Rib - It's Easier Than You Think

When I first tried cooking prime rib, I was nervous; it cost a lot of money, and I didn't want to ruin it. Well, it turns out prime rib is easy, but it's essential to invest in a good thermometer. Serve with creamy horseradish, if desired.

  6. Continue cooking to your desired degree of doneness, or an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) for medium is reached, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Cook’s Note

It's essential to have a good digital thermometer. You probably spent plenty on the meat itself. Save your investment and invest in a good quality thermometer with a probe and an alarm. By following the temperature rule, you can scale this recipe.

Cut the bones off the bottom of the roast and serve separately or save for another time.
