Prime Rib Roast

I decided to do a prime rib roast for New Year's Eve. Not having done one before I decided to seek some help. I found this basic recipe and lengthened the time since I wanted it medium well - well done. It really is pretty fool proof.

Ingredients

• 1 (5-pound) standing beef rib roast
• seasoning, garlic, salt, pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Rub roast all over with the House Seasoning. Place roast on a rack in a pan with the rib side down and the fatty side up. Roast for 1 hour. Turn off oven. Leave roast in the oven but do not open oven door for another 3 hours. About 1 hour before serving time, turn oven to 375 degrees F to reheat the roast.
Cook's Note: Do not remove roast or re-open the oven door from the time roast is put in until ready to serve.

It came out very yummy and very tender. I cooked it for 2.5 hours and did exactly as it states.
