Hereford House Signature Prime Rib Roast
- Have roast come to room temperature to ensure even-cooking.
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Use a paper towel to pat the roast dry.

- Place the prime rib roast in a heavy metal roasting pan, bone-side down.
- Once oven is pre-heated to 450 degrees, place pan in oven for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees.
- Remove from oven and let sit for 20-30 minutes.
- Pour a little au jus in the bottom of the pan.
- Cover with aluminum foil and wrap tightly so no steam escapes.
- Place back in oven for the balance of cooking time, cooking 2-4 minutes per pound until desired level of doneness is reached. (check internal meat temperature with cooking thermometer)
- Once desired level of doneness is reached, remove from oven, slice & enjoy!
