I have never cooked it that way but maybe the center was too cold to start with. It may have been a little frozen.

Nah 2-3 hours at room temperature should have been fine. Use a meat thermometer.

It may have been too thick for that high of heat.

That's what happened ^^^

Why would you cook a rib roast that way?

Reverse sear

No.

15-20 minutes at 450, turn down to 325 and cook until middle of roast is 125 degrees, remove tent with foil for 15 minutes while making the Yorkshire pudding. Slice and serve.

That will be perfectly medium rare with just a bit of medium around the outside which I happen to like. It is one of the easiest things too cook.

You attempted an unpredictable method. Next time Reverse Sear to ensure appropriate doneness.

Cook on low temp first... like 275 until the center is at 5 degrees below the doneness you like. Remove and let rest for 30 minutes or longer. Set oven as high as it will go, cook it for 15 minutes. Since you have already rested it, you can serve immediately.

I know that some ovens use a fan to cool down faster. This could have been your problem, since the oven wouldn't hold as much heat for as long

Next time soak it in a bath at 105 for 27 hours and then sear it for a nice crisp.

Good method but I think 5 degrees is not enough. I would go at least 10 if not 15. You are going to get at least 5 degrees in carryover cooking while it's resting not to mention when you put it back in the oven.

I smoke at 275 until internal temp is 115. Then I wrap and rest in my oven until temp gets to 130. Perfect

I have used the 500 degrees for 5 minutes/lb. then 2 hours no peek method many times and always have had good results. The room temp. issue is real. At least 3-4 hours so the meat is same temp all the way thru.
