How to Make Easy Prime Rib Or Rib Eye Roast

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. Pat your prime rib or rib eye roast (approximately 4-6 lbs) dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Consider adding other simple spices like garlic powder or onion powder to taste (keep it minimal to let the beef flavor shine).
  3. Place the seasoned roast on a rack in a roasting pan or your countertop roaster.
  4. Roast for approximately 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 120-125°F (49-52°C) for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. The cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of your roast.
  5. Once the desired internal temperature is reached, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  6. Increase your oven temperature to 500°F (260°C).
  7. Sear the roast on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side, achieving a beautiful, flavorful crust. Be careful not to overcook.
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for another 10 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy your perfectly cooked prime rib or rib eye!
