Preparing the Prime Rib

Cooking the Prime Rib
Roast the prime rib for about 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the size. After cooking, remove from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
