Recipe Notes

Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the prime rib roast. To calculate the cooking time, multiply the exact weight of the roast by 5. Round the resulting number to the nearest whole number. The rib is cooked at 500 degrees F for exactly that many minutes. For example, for a 6-pound roast: 6 multiplied by 5 is equal to 30, so cooking time is 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and wait 2 hours before opening the oven door. Remove the prime rib and slice into the most perfectly medium-rare meat ever seen.
