Perfect Prime Rib

Serving: This prime rib pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and a rich au jus or horseradish sauce.
Storage: Leftover prime rib can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Be sure to wrap it tightly in foil or store it in an airtight container to preserve its flavor. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
Variations
Herb Crust: Add fresh or dried herbs like rosemary and thyme to the rub for an extra layer of flavor.
Horseradish Crust: Mix horseradish with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper for a zesty twist.
Garlic Butter: For an even richer crust, rub the prime rib with a mixture of butter and minced garlic before roasting.
FAQ
1. Can I use a different cut of beef?
Yes, this method can also be used for roast beef. Just adjust the cooking time based on the weight of the roast.

2. Why is it important not to open the oven door after turning off the heat?
This resting period allows the roast to finish cooking gently and retain its juices. Opening the door lets the heat escape, which could lead to overcooking the meat.

3. Can I cook the prime rib with a bone-in cut?
Yes, the cooking method works for both bone-in and boneless prime rib cuts. The bones will help impart extra flavor, and the cooking times will remain the same.
