Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ready Time: 2 hrs 20 mins


• trim the prime rib roast of excess fat and any connective tissue. lightly score the entire roast in a criss-cross pattern (about 1/8 inch deep).
• preheat the oven to 400 degrees f (200 degrees c). in a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. rub the mixture into the roast until it develops a crust. really pack it on.
• place the roast into a roasting pan, and pour water into the bottom of the pan to 1/2 inch deep. cover the roast with a lid or aluminum foil.
• roast in the oven for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, then check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer. the internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees f (63 degrees c). hold the roast in an oven at 200 degrees f (110 degrees c) until ready to carve. let stand for a few minutes before carving if not holding. put on your silly white hat, set up the buffet carving station, and watch the hungry people line up!
