I did this yesterday, (Christmas Day), and it turned out fantastic! The Choice Rib Roast weighed 9.19 Lbs. I see a lot of unanswered questions from others, I will try to share what worked for me. Will also upload a photo when I get a chance. I did not have a meat thermometer. And was working with an electric oven, so I was nervous! Took the roast out of the fridge about an hour before. Left it tied, put it in a oval shaped turkey roasting pan. Fat side up, ribs down. I only used salt & pepper to season it, (I think garlic can be risky, with a large group that included a few kids, many of them don't like it). And this cut of beef has such a rich flavor, you honestly would be covering it up with any other seasonings. Key point here: I used a low-cost peppercorn grinder, and a Himalayan pink salt grinder that also was inexpensive, you can get both at your grocer or even Walmart. It made a huge difference, because both grinders put a heavier, coarser coating of salt & pepper on it, I think it was way better than the regular table salt & pepper I've used before. And go heavier than you think you should, because that fatty layer will melt away, basting the meat and washing the salt & pepper down with it as it goes. The extra ends up in the pan juices, and makes your Aus Jus perfect. Yes, you leave the roast in the oven when you turn it back on to reheat. We had a time crunch, so I did the 1 hour at 375*, then oven off, I only went with a 30 minute rest, then back on to 375* for just 30 minutes. Immediately put the cover on the pan, removed it, (someone else needed the oven). Kept the pan wrapped in a large towel on the counter to keep it warm, and we ate an hour later. I was nervous as I began to carve it, but it came out perfect, nice bright pink in the middle, the ends were medium, overall it was maybe a touch toward medium/rare, there was no really red, raw cold meat in the center, (which is fine by me). I think it continued to cook while it sat, (wasn't the plan, but people were socializing and having drinks, lots of appetizers, so nobody was hungry yet). I DO think if you have a smaller roast, (especially under 5 Lbs), I would shorten the initial cook to 45 min, then go 30 min off/rest, then maybe back on for 20-30 and pull it out, rest it for 15 on the counter (uncovered) and carve it. (Or go the full hour, but shorten the rest time and 2nd cook time to 20 min each). The juice in the pan made for a perfect Au Jus, did not need to add anything to it. Everyone loved it!

This is just crazy. Who ever heard of killing the heat and just let the thing sit in the oven? But I did it...witha 15lb ribeye roast. After the 1 hr, I let it sit in the "cooling down" oven for 45 min. Then turned the oven back on to 375 and cooked for another 30. Then shut the oven off. I did not open (not even a crack. you know how hard that was to do?) the oven door till I took it out to cut it. Amazing !!!!

Restaurant quality. I'm a big prime rib fan so I've had the best and the worst. This turned out awesome. I thought (after reading reviews) they had to have been written by friends and family of the site. No way would so many words of enthusiasm have been used in only 13 reviews. I was wrong. This recipe is easy and delicious. They nailed it wth this one. Thanks for posting.

The ultimate recipe! So simple! It turned out perfect & stories will be told for generations to come! I make a marinade of blended green bell peppers, white onions, cilantro and garlic and lightly glaze it all over the roast. I leave it over night and before putting it in the oven I do a dry rub it with seasoned salt! Secret Tip: Sit it on top of baby potatoes, whole carrots and brussel sprouts (if you like them). You'll be amazed! ?
