perfect prime rib

I don’t think there is any cut of beef more perfect for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day dinner than a juicy, tender cut of prime rib. Also known as standing rib roast, this is a rich and tender, a feast for the eyes and stomach! Prime rib is also very easy to cook. Liberally rub the roast with a combination of sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder and oregano. Start at a high temperature to brown the outside, then cook at a lower temperature. A medium rare prime rib, pink and juicy on the inside, registers 120 degrees. I usually purchase a 7 to 8 pound roast, which easily feeds six people

    Remove standing rib roast from packaging and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. With a sharp knife, cut slits crosswise, about 1/4″ deep throughout the roast. In a small bowl, mix seasonings together and liberally rub the roast. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place roast in roasting  pan and cook for 20 minutes to brown the outside. Turn heat to 325 degrees and cook 12 minutes per pound. Medium rare registers 120 degrees.  Let stand for 10 minutes. Slice and serve.
