Prime Rib for Easter - first time

Hot and fast in a crock pot. Throw the carrots and shite on top and pour the drippings all over it when you serve it.

You will get a lot of different posts on how to season it. The main points for actually cooking it:

--*IMPORTANT-- use a roasting rack in a 1.5-2" deep roasting pan.

-- Set roast out about an hour before you season it.

-- Apply seasoning 30 minutes before you want to cook it, unless you are using some exotic method like encasing it entirely in kosher salt.

-- Whatever seasoning you choose, be liberal with it. It's a big chunnk of meat.

-- I usually spray it with olive oil after seasoning unless your choice of seasoning has butter (fat) in it.

-- Use the two temperature method. Preheat oven at 425-450 degrees and cook for 25 minutes to develop a crust.

-- Depends on the size of the roast from there, but you can turn temp down and continue to roast at 275-350. I go with 325. Cook to internal meat temperature, not according to time (aka minutes per pound) for this step.

** MOST IMPORTANT: Get a good digital meat thermometer and don't cook it past 122 degrees internal temperature if you want it medium rare. Pull it there, put on a platter and tent with aluminum foil. Let it rest 25 minutes before slicing.

This might be interesting to do for Easter. Do y’all do bone in or boneless? Is there a huge difference either way? Big arse ribeye correct?

I think he is saying while resting after you take it out to make a tent like thing around it with foil.

pro tip (or at least an amateur who has learned from experience) as you can see in my picture, place an old towel under the cutting board to help with the mess

I used to do bone-in, but have switched to boneless. I taste no difference. A lot easier to get an even cook on a boneless one. I tie it up to make a nice cylinder for even cooking.

Correct, it is just a hunk of ribeye, get prime if you can find it. Costco typically always has it this time of year for a good price.

Purchase a cutting board with a trough. There's your pro tip.

I’ve done them several different methods but I find this one to be pretty simple and almost full proof but I do something similar with the butter and seasoning
But I bring the oven to 500* and cook for 5 minutes a pound then turn the oven off for 2 hrs (do not open the door!) or until my
Internal is at 118-120* medium rare

I get mine real juicy, even with a trough a towel is needed

I recommend Yorkshire Pudding for the drippings. So damn good.

You can use something else (better than bouillon, etc.) for a gravy.
