This is from Paula Deen of Food TV and is what I fixed for Christmas Dinner 2005. I was tempted to open the oven to check how things were going, but I resisted...waiting until it had cooked 40 minutes at the final stage of cooking. I had a 9+ pound roast and the final temperature at that point was 129°F. It was wonderful! I'd definitely cook it the same way again. See Paula Deen's House Seasoning Mix for seasoning.
Ingredients:
1 (5 lb) standing rib roast
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
Directions:
1. Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
3. Rub roast with House Seasoning; place roast on a rack in the pan with the rib side down and the fatty side up.
4. Roast for 1 hour. Turn off oven. Leave roast in oven but do not open oven door for 2-3 hours. (I give a range because I have had roasts perfect to a bit over-cooked. I would check temperature after 2 hours-don't go over 125°F in final cooking cycle because it will rise another 10 degrees or so during resting phase).
5. About 30 to 40 minutes before serving time, turn oven to 375°F and reheat the roast. Important: Do not remove roast or re-open the oven door from time roast is put in until ready to serve.
6. Cover with foil and let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
7. Note: I learned from a chef a trick for satisfying everyone with prime rib. Cook it rare. If anyone wants it done medium, dip their slice in a pot of simmering au jus for 1 minute.
