Angus Beef Standing Prime Rib Roast

Yield 6-7
RECIPE Ingredients
Recipe notes
Little embellishment is needed for this gorgeous standing rib roast – just salt, pepper, and a very hot oven. Starting the roast at a high temperature will create a beautiful crust which will add tremendous flavor and seal in the juices. Cooked to medium-rare, this Angus prime rib is melt-in-your-mouth tender.
RECIPE Preparation
  1. Remove the roast from the refrigerator about 1 hour prior to cooking.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  3. Generously season the meat on all sides with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Place roast fat side up in a rack on a shallow pan. Roast for 25 minutes.
  4. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to roast for about 15 minutes per pound, or until an instant read thermometer reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for a medium-rare center.
  5. Allow the roast to rest on a cutting board for at least 15 minutes before carving. Spoon warm pan drippings over, if desired.
