Instructions
Take your Prime Rib out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
Preheat oven to 325°
If cooking a boneless Prime Rib, place a baking rack on your baking sheet.
Lightly season/rub your Prime Rib roast with the seasoning of your choice. It just needs to be evenly and lightly seasoned. Place your oven safe meat thermometer in the thickest part of the meat (if bone-in Prime rib, make sure it is not touching bone!*If using an instant read digital meat thermometer, you will check the Prime Rib later.
Place your Prime Rib fat side up on the baking rack. If cooking a bone-in Prime Rib, place the meat bone side down, so the bones act as the baking rack.
Place meat in the oven (make sure you can see your meat thermometer so you don't have to open the oven door during cooking) and let it cook for about 15-25 minutes per pound. See the notes below for cooking times. NOTE: Cooking times will vary-this is just an estimate. Your Prime Rib could cook faster or take longer, depending on how "done" you like it*Start checking the Prime Rib about 10 minutes before you think it will be done.
Once the meat has reached about 5 degrees before your desired temperature, remove the roast from the oven and loosely cover it will foil and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. The meat will continue to cook a bit as it rests.
While the Prime Rib is resting, make your Ajus (optional).
Slice the Prime Rib after it has rested and enjoy with the Ajus Sauce.
AJUS SAUCE
In a saucepan or skillet, over medium heat, add your Prime Rib drippings. Add your flour and whisk it with the drippings until it resembles a paste. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add your can of beef broth and soy sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve with your Prime Rib as a dip or gravy.
Notes
SEASONING: I love Traeger's Prime Rib Rub. You can also use a garlic salt blend or simple salt and pepper for your seasoning.ESTIMATED COOKING TEMPERATURES AND TIMES:Rare meat will read on the thermometer about 125 to 130 degrees, and will be bright red in the center and slightly pink towards the outside of the meat.Medium Rare will read between 130-135 degrees and have a really pink center and a bit of brown near the edges. People love it this way!Medium Prime Rib will read somewhere between 140-145 degrees (this is what I prefer) and will have just a bit of pink in the very center and the outside edges will be brown.Medium Well is not pink at all and will register on your meat thermometer at 150-155 degrees.Well Done is reached at 160 degrees and will be uniformly brown, but may be a bit dry.**Make sure to let your meat rest before slicing! Loosely cover the Prime Rib with foil. 15-20 minutes is about the perfect time for resting!MEAT THERMOMETER: I prefer an oven safe meat thermometer for cooking Prime Rib that can stay in the meat the entire cooking time. This helps me know the exact internal temperature without opening the oven a bunch of times and without having to keep poking the Prime Rib letting the juices escape. You can use a digital instant read thermometer, just try to open the oven as little as possible and avoid poking the meat too many times. (I promise buying an oven safe meat thermometer is cheap and the only way to go for rime Rib- see post above for my oven safe meat thermometer)!
