Rub roast with 1 tablespoon House Seasoning; place roast on a rack in the pan with the rib side down and the fatty side up. Roast for 1 hour. Turn off oven. Leave roast in oven but do not open oven door for 3 hours. About 30 to 40 minutes before serving time, turn oven to 375 degrees F and reheat the roast.

FOOLPROOF STANDING PRIME RIB ROAST (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Rub roast with House Seasoning; place roast on a rack in the pan with the rib side down and the fatty side up.
• Roast for 1 hour. Turn off oven. Leave roast in oven but do not open oven door for 2-3 hours. (I give a range because I have had roasts perfect to a bit over-cooked. I would check temperature after 2 hours--don't go over 125°F in final cooking cycle because it will rise another 10 degrees or so during resting phase).
• About 30 to 40 minutes before serving time, turn oven to 375°F and reheat the roast. Important: Do not remove roast or re-open the oven door from time roast is put in until ready to serve.
• Cover with foil and let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
• Note: I learned from a chef a trick for satisfying everyone with prime rib. Cook it rare. If anyone wants it done medium, dip their slice in a pot of simmering au jus for 1 minute.

PRIME RIB ROAST A FOOL PROOF METHOD

Steps:

• 1. Let the roast rest at room temperature for 3 hours, this will ensure even cooking and help you estimate the cooking time better.
• 2. I cut the ribs away from the roast and tie them back with cooking string. This makes it easier to cut when it's done but you do not need to do this.
• 3. Place the roast in a shallow pan, you do not need a rack -- hence "standing rib roast"!
• 4. Generously season the roast with Lawry's Salt, it's the best. You may use salt and ground pepper if you prefer.
• 5. Start at a high heat of 500 degrees for 15 minutes, turn the oven down to a lower temperature of 325 degrees for the remainder of the cooking time. As long as you have the thermometer in the meat, you will not over cook it. If your oven only goes to 450 degrees, that will work fine. Insert the thermometer from the side, it will be easier to find the center without hitting the ribs.
• Allow 13-15 minutes per pound for rare, 15-17 minutes per pound for medium rare. Use the guide below to set your thermometer, this is not a cut of meat to guess when it's done.
• 6. Take the roast out of the oven when the desired temperature is reached. Air on the rare side. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes and it will continue to cook.
• Set the meat thermometer to the following:.
• Rare, 115.
• Medium Rare, 120 (used above)
• Medium, 125.
• Medium Well, 130.
• Let the meat rest for 15-20 minutes before carving to allow the juices to distribute back into the meat.
• If you don't have a meat thermometer, here is another fool proof method. This is called Millie's Method! Cook the roast in a 500 degree oven for 5 minutes per pound (for medium rare) and than shut the oven off and let it cook for 1 full hour. It's very important to not open the oven during this time. Let the meat rest before carving.

PERFECT RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to low position and preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a large roasting pan over 2 burners set at medium-high heat. Place roast in hot pan and sear on all sides until nicely browned and about 1/2 cup of fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove roast from pan. Set a wire rack in pan; set roast on rack. Generously season meat with salt and pepper.
• Place roast in oven and roast until a meat thermometer registers 130 degrees for medium-rare, about 3 1/2 hours. If roast is done sooner than you expect, simply turn oven as low as possible (preferably 150 to 170 degrees F) and let stand until ready to serve.
• Transfer roast to a cutting board, with rib bones perpendicular to board. Using a carving fork to hold roast in place, cut along rib bones to sever meat from bones. Set roast cut side down and carve meat across grain into 3/4 to 1-inch-thick slices. Serve immediately.
