There might not be a main course that’s more special at Christmastime than a perfectly cooked piece of roast beef. Try Ree Drummond’s easy recipe for prime rib.

Prep: 15min

Total: 1h15min

Yield: 12 serving(s)

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole rib eye roast (you can use boneless or bone-in prime rib) about 14 pounds
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 c. kosher salt
  • 4 tbsp. tri-color peppercorns (or any peppercorns)
  • 3 sprigs rosemary
  • 3 sprigs thyme
  • 1/2 c. minced garlic

Instruction:

  1. Preheat oven to 500°F.
  2. Cut rib loin in half (roast halves separately for more controlled/even cooking.)
  3. Sear both halves in olive oil over very high heat until nice dark golden color. Place tricolor peppercorns into a bag, crush pepper corns with a rolling pin. Strip the leaves from the rosemary and thyme springs. Mix salt, crushed peppercorns, rosemary leaves, thyme leaves and garlic.
  4. Pour olive oil over the rib loin and pour on the rub mix. Pat slightly to get it to stick to the meat. Roast for 20-30 minutes at 500 degrees, then reduce heat to 300°F and roast for another 20 to 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 125 for rare/medium rare (roast will continue to cook slightly after removing from the oven.) NOTE: If you’d like the meat more cooked, leave it in the oven longer. Just keep an eye on the meat thermometer and don’t let it cook past medium rare! **USING A MEAT THERMOMETER IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE YOU COOK THE MEAT TO YOUR LIKING***
  5. Remove from oven and let rest at least 20 minutes before slicing.

FAQ

How many hours does it take to cook a prime rib?

Cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the prime rib registers 130 degrees F for medium rare, 35 to 45 minutes of cooking time per pound. An 8-pound roast will take about 5 1/2 to 6 hours.

What is the secret to prime rib roast?

It’s no secret that roasts need to cook slow and slow, but for that killer crust on a prime rib the secret is to hit it with a lot of heat first. Like our other prime rib recipes, this rosemary-rubbed prime rib cooks at 450F for 20 minutes before cooking for another 60 to 90 minutes at 350F.

How do restaurants make prime rib so tender?

To further enhance tenderness, we cook the roast at a very low temperature (200 degrees) for 3 to 4 hours, or until it reaches 110 degrees, then cut the heat. We leave the roast in the turned-off oven until it reaches 120 degrees (for rare) or about 125 degrees (for medium-rare).

What is the best temp to cook prime rib?

Roast in oven: Place roasting pan in hot 450°F oven for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 115 to 120°F for medium rare (125 to 130°F after resting), or 125 to 130°F for medium (135 to 140°F after resting).
