Cooking Prime Rib

Oven should be preheated to 325°. Meanwhile rub the rib generously with your seasonings and place in a shallow roasting pan. Place the rib in the oven and roast until the internal temperature is 125° for rare or 135° for medium. You can estimate approximately 12 minutes per pound for rare beef, 15 minutes per pound for medium and 20 minutes per pound for well done. This allows for after-cooking. High heat will tend to dry your meat, give you less yield and produce an unevenly cooked roast. Always allow the meat to rest once it is removed from the oven. Do not carve immediately, rest for 10 minutes and carve.
