Ingredients

  • 8 pound standing rib roast or prime rib roast
  • Kosher salt
  • Cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
  • For best results, take out rib and let stand at room temperature for at least an hour. Rub roast generously with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Place in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Roast beef undisturbed, in the middle of the oven, for 20 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 350 degrees F. and continue to roast, without basting, for about 1 hour to an hour and a half, or until beef is cooked to your taste. A meat thermometer with register 115 degrees F. when the beef is rare. 120-125 for medium rare and 125-130 for medium. An 8 pound roast will take approximately and additional hour and a half, increase the time by 15 minutes per pound if your roast is larger.
  • Remove roast from the oven, (it will continue to cook and the temperature will rise up to 10 degrees, once it's out of the oven) and tent it with foil.
  • Allowing the roast to rest before carving, undisturbed for 20-30 minutes, will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Notes
