Prime Rib Roast: Easy Beef Roast Recipe

Easy recipe for Prime Rib Roast. This recipe can also be used for Roast Beef. Delicious and easy to make.

Leave Prime Rib Roast at room temperature for at least 3 hours.

Add a generous amount of salt and pepper on the roast. You can use any kind of spices you like, such as garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, Italian spices. Add fresh garlic to the roast for more flavor. Put your spices in a 1*3 cup of cooking oil and then spread on the surface of the roast. Be sure to cover both ends of the roast as well.

The cooking time is about 20 minutes per lb. for dry roasting without water. If you add water during the roasting, the cooking time is between 13 to 15 minutes per lb. of beef.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and roast for 1/2 an hour at this high temperature. Turn the heat down to 325 degrees to finish the cooking. The cooking time for the prime rib in this video was 2 1/2 hours at 325 degrees. Your roast's cooking time will vary, depending on the weight of your roast. Also cooking time will vary if you use water or no water in the pan during cooking.

If you roast your prime rib with water in the pan, be sure to add the water only after the first 1/2 hour. I usually put about 1 litre of water at this time. Baste the roast every 1/2 hour with the juices in the pan.

Let the roast cool off for about 20 minutes. Slice the succulent prime rib in your desired thickness. Enjoy!
