Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (5-lb/2.27 kg) standing rib roast
- 1 tbsp Paula Deen’s House Seasoning
Instructions
- Temperature Preparation: Remove prime rib roast from refrigerator 1-2 hours before cooking to normalize temperature, ensuring uniform heat distribution.
- Oven Setup: Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C), positioning rack in center position for optimal roasting environment.
- Surface Preparation: Thoroughly pat roast dry with paper towels, eliminating excess moisture to facilitate exceptional exterior crust development.
- Seasoning Application: Massage Paula Deen’s House Seasoning comprehensively across entire roast surface, guaranteeing robust flavor infusion.
- Roasting Positioning: Place roast on rack within heavy-duty roasting pan, positioning fatty side upward and rib bones downward to maximize heat circulation and natural basting.
- Temperature Monitoring: Carefully insert meat thermometer into roast’s thickest section, avoiding bone or fat zones for precise internal temperature tracking.
- Initial Roasting: Cook roast for exactly 1 hour at 375 °F, maintaining consistent temperature throughout cooking process.
- Residual Cooking: Immediately deactivate oven after initial roasting, keeping door sealed to leverage accumulated heat for gentle, consistent cooking during subsequent 3-hour resting period.
- Serving Preparation: Approximately 30-45 minutes before serving, reheat oven to 375 °F to warm roast to ideal serving temperature.
- Resting and Carving: Remove roast, allow 15-20 minutes resting time for juice redistribution, then carve and serve succulent meat.
Notes
- Prep Like a Pro: Let the prime rib sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours before cooking to guarantee even heat distribution and consistent texture.
- Moisture Management: Thoroughly pat the roast dry with paper towels to create a perfect golden-brown crust that seals in incredible flavors.
- Thermometer Tactics: Insert the meat thermometer carefully into the thickest part, avoiding bones and fat for the most accurate temperature reading.
- Resting Ritual: Allow the roast to rest 15-20 minutes after cooking to let juices redistribute, ensuring each slice is supremely tender and juicy.
