Perfect Medium Rare Oven Roasted Prime Rib

How to cook prime rib in the oven
Perfect Medium Rare Oven Roasted Prime Rib is mouth-watering and very simple to make in the oven. It will take approximately 90 minutes for a 4-pound roast. Watch your thermometer carefully, you do not want to overcook this expensive cut.
First, season the roast liberally, rubbing the seasoning in all sides and crevices.
The method I use to cook this roast is to cook in the oven on very high heat for the first few minutes. This sears the meat and seals in the juices. That wonderful sear also will have a lot of flavor!

I highly recommend an instant-read thermometer when cooking one. Otherwise, you will have to cut into the roast which will release all those juices you’re trying to keep in!
Always, always allow the roast to rest before carving. (This is a very good Chef Knife for carving for the price. If you don’t mind spending a little more, this Chef Knife will stay sharper for much longer. It has a great blade and fits your hand well.) I like to lay a large sheet of aluminum foil over the roast and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. By allowing it to rest, the juices will redistribute throughout the meat.
