ingredients

1
1. Preheat oven to 500°.
2
2. Mix seasonings together and pat all over the roast.
3
3. It probably won’t stick very well to the fat side but that’s ok.
4
4. Put the roast in a Dutch oven, preferably on a small rack to lift it off the bottom of the pot.
5
5. Bone side up (fat side down).
6
6. Place a meat thermometer in the middle of the roast being careful not to get too close to the bone.
7
7. Cover with lid (you need a fairly large Dutch oven so the lid will fit on properly).
8
8. Cook the roast in the oven for 5-6 minutes per pound, then shut off the oven.

9. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR FOR TWO HOURS, UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH!
10
10. ****The 2 hours starts as soon as the roast is put in the oven****.
11
11. After two hours, take it out and check the temperature.
12
12. If it’s 140°, it’s perfect!
13
13. If it’s cooler, put back in oven at 375° until it reaches 140°.

14. This procedure will yield a PERFECT MEDIUM RARE PRIME RIB.

15Don’t ask how to do medium or well done because cooking prime rib past medium rare is a felony.
