Prime Rib

This is a perfect fool proof recipe for prime rib and great for the holidays!

3 pounds of prime rib

Make into a rub:
1/2 Tablespoon pepper
2 Tablespoon sea salt
1/2 Tablespoon garlic powder

Directions:

1. Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
3. Rub roast with seasoning; place roast on a rack in the pan with the rib side down and the fatty side up.
4. Roast for 1 hour. Turn off oven. Leave roast in oven but do not open oven door for 2 hours. Check temperature after 2 hours--(don't go over 125°F in the final cooking cycle because it will rise another 10 degrees or so during resting phase).
5. About 30 to 40 minutes before serving time, turn oven to 375°F and reheat the roast, unless it reached 125 degrees.
   
6. Cover with foil and let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.

MY TIP: It's important not to re-open the oven door from the time the roast is cooking until the time it is served. A good meat thermometer that hangs outside the oven is helpful.
