Of course. Here is a classic Prime Rib recipe, also known as Standing Rib Roast. This method uses a reverse-sear technique (low and slow roasting followed by a high-heat blast) for a perfectly even, juicy, pink center and a magnificent, savory crust.
This is the ultimate centerpiece for a holiday meal.
The Golden Rules for Perfect Prime Rib:
- Buy a Quality Roast: Look for “prime” grade if possible, but “choice” grade can also be excellent. Allow for one rib (or about 1 lb / 450g) per person.
- Bring to Room Temp: Take the roast out of the fridge 3-4 hours before cooking. A cold roast will cook unevenly.
- Cook to Temperature, Not Time: An instant-read thermometer is non-negotiable. Oven times are estimates; internal temperature is everything.
- Rest is Mandatory: Resting allows the juices to redistribute. Do not skip this.
