1.
Preheat oven to lowest possible temperature setting, 150°F (66°C) or higher if necessary. (Some ovens cannot hold a temperature below 250°F/121°C.) Season roast generously with salt and pepper. Place roast, with fat cap up, on a V-rack set in a large roasting pan, or on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Place in oven and cook until center of roast registers 120-125°F (49-52°C) on an instant-read thermometer for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or 135°F (57°C) for medium to medium-well. In a 150°F oven, this will take around 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours; in a 250°F oven, this will take 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

2.
Remove roast from oven and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Place in a warm spot in the kitchen and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, preheat oven to highest possible temperature setting, 500 to 550°F (260 to 288°C).

3.
Ten minutes before guests are ready to be served, remove foil, place roast back in hot oven, and cook until well browned and crisp on the exterior, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, carve, and serve immediately.

This has always been my method. Easy peasy.

-Bring prime rib to room temp (3-4 hours before cooking).

-Preheat oven to 500 degrees.

-Kosher salt and black pepper rub before putting in oven.

-Roast fat side up for 5 minutes per pound. No more, no less.

-Turn oven off, and let rest in oven for 2 hours. Do NOT open oven door for any reason.

-After 2 hours, slice and enjoy.

My stopping point too. Sometimes i'll stop at 117 since I feel like I cook mine longer than I should at the higher temp.

I use my Char Broil Big Easy Oil-less Fryer. I season up the prime rib like others have recommended in this thread in then I put it in the oil-less fryer (about 10 min. per Lb.) till we hit 125 degrees.

Easiest way to make a perfect prime rib. We stress more over getting the homemade horseradish sauce to set up and be right than we do on cooking the prime rib.

i think i like TH03 recipe the best. It allows me to cook this at my house then transfer it to my parents house. When its time to eat, i can blast it at 500 degrees

I've eaten at their location in Chicago. Phenomenal prime rib. Their servers are refereed to as "Master Carvers." Their sides were delicious too from the spun salad to the cream corn.

I know, I just copied and pasted from serious eats

Anything over 125 is blasphemy to me.

I cooked one this past Christmas and even though the center was cooked to Med Rare my wife and daughter wanted it a little more cooked. I got my griddle as hot as possible, cut them each a piece about 5/8" thick and hit it on the griddle for a minutes or so on each side. They preferred it that way and I though it was pretty good as well, even though I ate mine at Med-Rare.

Inevitably one of your guest is going to turn their nose up to Med Rare meat, be prepared to hit it a little more on the griddle for them.

There were quite a few prime rib threads before and around Thanksgiving. The search function actually works well enough for those that they will come up which is not the norm. Maybe they come up because they were recent, but you may want to take a look at a few of those threads as well as this one.
