How do you Make Prime Rib from Scratch

First, you'll sprinkle the meat with salt and let it come to room temperature. You'll then preheat the oven and pat the meat dry. Salt and pepper the meat, put it bone-side down, and pop in the meat thermometer. You'll roast it for 15 minutes to brown it, then lower the temperature and continue cooking for the designated time depending on the weight of the meat. After that, make a foil tent and let it rest. You'll make the au jus after that and then serve it up.

Expert Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Prime Rib Every Time

• Check the weight first. You want to make sure you cook it long enough yet not overdo things. Always double check and if you still feel nervous, you can ask the butcher when you're buying the rib roast.
• Save that juice. That meat juice at the bottom is how you'll make your au jus. Don't waste it!
• Make sure your prime rib comes to room temperature before you start. That's why there's 3 hours it should sit out before you do anything beyond salting the meat. If it's too cold in some places, it won't cook evenly.
• Where to find the cheapest prime rib. Prime rib can be quite expensive. Costco has good prices on cuts of beef so Costco prime rib is a great option if you have a Costco close to you.

How to Cook Prime Rib

The best way to cook prime rib requires cooking it in the oven. You'll be doing a lot of waiting so make the most of that time with other kitchen tasks.

This classic Prime Rib recipe is the perfect dish for holidays or large family gatherings. Learn how to cook a delicious and easy prime rib recipe complete with homemade au jus!

• 4-7 lb standing rib roast
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)

Au Jus

• rib roasting juices ((juices from bottom of meat pan))
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups water

• First, remove the roast from the refrigerator and sprinkle generously with salt all over. Allow the roast to sit out for about 3 hours or until it has reached room temperature to ensure more even cooking.

• Once the roast has reached room temperature, preheat the oven to 500F and pat the roast dry with paper towels. Sprinkle again generously with salt and pepper, then place into a roasting pan fat side up, bone side down. Insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the roast. Brown the roast at 500F for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325F and cook for about 13-15 minutes per pound for medium rare. Once the roast has reached your desired temperature, tent with foil and allow to rest for about 20-30 minutes before carving. Once rested, cut away the strings on the roast and remove the bones, either throwing them out or reserving them for a soup. Cut into 1/2 inch thick slices across the grain.

• Now, make the au jus. Pour the drippings from the roasting pan into a sauce pan and put on medium high heat. Once bubbling, pour about 1/4 cup of flour into the mixture, whisking vigorously to break up any lumps. Slowly add in 2-3 cups of water or beef stock, cooking until the mixture thickens. Season the gravy with salt and pepper, then put through a sieve to ensure there aren't any lumps. Serve hot over the slices of prime rib.
