Our Famous Prime Rib Recipe
Bob and Grace Milton began Misty's as a "bottle club" in 1963 known as Club 63. When the liquor laws changed in 1965 allowing restaurants to sell liquor by the drink, a small propane grill was added. The grill held a total of six hamburgers or four small steaks and a restaurant was born! This small grill eventually was replaced with a larger one and finally the addition of a rotisserie ushered in the era of Misty's Restaurant. Using quality beef and special spices, the Miltons became known for serving the Midwest's finest prime rib. Misty's Original All Purpose Seasoning has been joined by Natural All Purpose Seasoning (no MSG), BBQ Seasoning, Cajun Seasoning, and No Salt Seasoning.

Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This high temperature will help create a beautiful crust on the prime rib.

Prepare the Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine the black pepper, sea salt, and Misty's Original All Purpose Seasoning. This will be your seasoning blend for the prime rib.
- 3
Prepare the Roast
Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels. This will help achieve a nice sear. Rub the roast all over with olive oil, then generously apply the seasoning blend, ensuring to cover all sides.

Garlic Preparation
Smash the garlic cloves slightly to release their flavor but keep them whole. You can place them around the roast in the pan for added flavor.
Cooking

Roast the Prime Rib
Place the seasoned prime rib in a roasting pan, bone-side down. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to create a crust.

Lower the Temperature
After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (about 120°F (49°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium). This will take approximately 15-20 minutes per pound.

Rest the Roast
Once the prime rib reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Carve and Serve
After resting, carve the prime rib into slices and serve with your choice of sides. Enjoy the rich flavors of your famous prime rib!
