The best way to cook Prime Rib, or the Ribeye Roast, is by roasting it in the oven fat side up to your desired doneness and allowing it to rest, tented by aluminum foil for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will ensure that the juices have a chance to settle before cutting into the roast. It’s also important to remember the temperature will continue to rise 10 to 15 degrees when it comes out of the oven. Roasting times may vary depending on the size of the roast and if it is boneless or not. These roasting guidelines can offer a general rule of thumb. But, it’s always best to follow the individual recipe or packaging for specific times, and use an accurate meat thermometer to keep an eye on the internal temperature.
