Prime Rib Cooking Instructions printable pdf download

Cooking prime rib is as easy as one, two, three:

1. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan, bone side down.

2. Season the roast with salt and pepper, or try something different..

Insert the meat thermometer into the center of the roast, making sure you avoid the bone or fat.

3. Roast the meat, uncovered, in a 325ºF (160ºC) oven until it reaches the desired doneness. Then remove the roast from

the oven and tent it with foil for a minimum of 10 minutes, up to 30 minutes. This allows the juices to flow back into the

meat (they will run out if you cut right away and the meat will be less tender) and the temperature rises another 5ºF.

Remove the twine if there is any and carve the prime rib across the grain in 1/4" to 1/2" thick slices.

Prime Rib Cooking Times

These estimated roasting times are based on a minimum roast weight of 4 pounds (or 1.8 kg):

For MediumRare: Cook for 22 minutes per pound. Internal temperature on the meat thermometer should read 140ºF

(or 60ºC) when the roast is removed from the oven.

For Medium: Cook for 25 minutes per pound. Internal temperature should read 155ºF (or 68ºC) when roast is removed

from the oven.

For Well Done: Cook 30 minutes per pound. The internal temperature should be 165ºF (or 74ºC) when removed from

the oven.

The minutes per pound are a guideline only. Exact cooking time can vary, which is why it is best to use a meat

thermometer. Allow 3 servings per pound of bonein roast, 4 for a boned roast.

For best results, the Beef Information Center recommends cooking your roast to mediumrare.
