This year though, our table will most definitely be graced by this delicious and tender prime rib recipe. It is a perfect Christmas dinner. This amazing prime rib roast only takes about 10 minutes to prepare and then cooks away in the oven. When you pull it out, it is the most tender and moist piece of flavorful meat. Your family will fawn over it, and you will be a holiday hero.
Kosher Salt Black Pepper Italian Seasoning Fresh Garlic Cloves
I have my own Italian Seasoning recipe that I really love. But if you don’t have time to make it, just buy a bottle of Italian seasoning in the spice aisle of the grocery store. The full instructions and measurements can be found at the bottom of the post in the recipe card. You can always get there quickly by clicking “Jump to Recipe” above. Please note that the cooking time of this recipe is based on a wire rack and a roasting pan. If you don’t have a wire rack and go with a baking dish for this recipe, I urge you to use a meat thermometer to check on your roast. This way you will still be able to pull it out of the oven at the correct time. Consider between 3/4 a pound and 1 pound per person for this recipe if:
There are no other main dishes. You are planning on making only two to three side dishes to go with it.
If you are making other main dishes or many other sides, you can work off of the rule of 4 ounces to 1/2 a pound per person.
2 hours or 130 degrees from medium rare. 2 1/4 hours or 140 degrees for medium. 2 1/2 hours or 150 degrees for medium well
As stated above, for the best results, use an instant read thermometer in the center of the meat. Keep in mind that there will be some carry over cooking after removing from the oven and that the end pieces will be a little more done than the center.
