Rib

P:31

Let prime rib come to room temperature.

Trim off excess fat and season excessively with lemon pepper and

seasoning salt.

Place in roasting rack, fat side up.

Preheat oven to 375°; roast meat exactly 50 minutes.

Turn off heat, leaving meat in the oven until shortly before serving

time.

DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR AT ANY TIME!

To re-heat, set oven temperature at 300°.

Heat 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature is as you like it.

Rare meat is 120-125°

Medium rare is 130-135°

Well done is 140-145°

Rule of thumb is to remove your prime rib roast from the oven

when it hits 120° and allow it to rest for about 20 minutes

while loosely tented with foil.

Directions:

Do NOT open oven!

It's tradition to tape

a sign on the oven door

so no one opens it
