What are the basic rules for preparing a superb prime rib?

Rule 1: Choose Well-Marbled Meat

Keep in mind that the more marbled the meat, the more juicy, tasty and tender it will be.

Rule 2: Buy Bone-in Beef

Bones have a higher heat resistance than meat, of course, which is good because the meat around the bones will cook more slowly than the rest of the roast, making these parts more tender and juicy.

Rule 3: Season Well, and Season in Advance

Season the prime rib with kosher or regular salt and let it rest for 1 hour or at least 45 minutes before you start cooking it (for best results).

But if you have more time, salt them the day before and place them in the refrigerator overnight, uncovered.

Rule 4: Roast Low and Slow

You should keep in mind that the higher the temperature at which you cook the meat, the greater the temperature gradient inside it, which means that the outer layers of the meat will be overcooked by the time the center is a perfect medium-rare. The center is red-pink, but the surrounding layers are dry and gray.

So this can be avoided by roasting at relatively low heat (around 200°F).

Rule 5: Use a Thermometer!

Using a meat thermometer will help you a lot, just know how to use it.

Rule 6: Let it Rest

It was previously mentioned that if you take the keto prime rib roast out of the oven (it is better to cover it with aluminum foil and let it rest for a specified time). Please do not skip the rest phase.
