Cooking prime rib can feel intimidating. It’s a premium cut of meat, often reserved for holidays, family gatherings, or special occasions—and nobody wants to ruin it by overcooking or drying it out.
The good news? There’s a simple, reliable method that delivers a perfectly cooked prime rib every single time, with a flavorful crust on the outside and a juicy, tender center. No basting, no complicated temperature changes, and no constant checking required.
This is the kind of recipe that once you try it, you’ll never cook prime rib any other way again.
Why This Method Works So Well
This technique relies on high heat followed by a long resting period inside the oven. The initial blast of heat creates a beautifully seasoned crust, while the residual heat gently cooks the meat to perfection without drying it out.
The result:
-
Even doneness from edge to center
-
Juicy, tender meat
-
Consistent results every time
-
Minimal effort and stress-free cooking
Ingredients
-
1 prime rib roast (bone-in or boneless, any size)
-
Salt
-
Black pepper
-
Garlic powder
That’s it. The quality of the meat shines, and the seasoning keeps things classic and bold.
