We thoroughly enjoyed this! My husband doesn’t like his meat rare so I placed his piece in the pan of au jus to cook a minute or two and it came out perfect. I’ll definitely be making this recipe again. Thank you!!!

My favorite recipe. I do one thing differently. I roll my roast in ice cream salt AFTER seasoning with a rub of garlic, salt, pepper and butter.

In reply to Tina. Thank you for sharing this feedback. I’ve never cooked one that large using this method. Readers frequently ask about size limits. I’m happy to report your results.

So we just tried this yesterday for Christmas Day dinner. My husband and I were a little nervous about cooking a 17.5 lbs roast like this for the first time. It cooked perfectly. Everyone raved about how good it was.

In reply to Jackie Garvin. Now a year later, made this again with a 5 bone 14 pound roast. Again worked great. Pulled out of fridge 5 hours prior. 70 mins at 500 degrees and then oven off for two hours. Came out perfect.

If I cook 2 9 lb prime ribs is the 500’ cooking time going to be 45 minutes?

In reply to Rita. I have an electric oven but either can be used.

In reply to Jackie Garvin. Is this recipe for a gas oven? And can it be done this way in an electric oven?

In reply to Mike Donner. This cooking method poses a challenge for sides that require oven time. My recommendation is to slice the roast while the sides cook and rewarm by gently simmering the slices in beef broth or jus prior to serving.

What about sides.

I have three sides that need about 20-25 minutes in the oven

Can I let the prime rib rest that long after the two hours”?

In reply to Lori. Lori, You don’t need a premium wine for good jus. Purchase any reasonably priced red wine. Don’t buy cooking wine. It’s too high in sodium. Get a table wine. You should be able to find a bottle for 6 or 7 dollars.

What red wine do you suggest? I’m not a wine drinker or a fancy cook! I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and trying this today. I found this roast at $4.99/lb., I couldn’t pass up the deal! Thanks for all your advice.

In reply to Hermosabeef. Oh my heavenly days! God bless you for the courage to risk an expensive piece of meat. I’ll be sure to reference this comments when readers ask about the feasibility of using this method on a larger roast. I can’t thank you enough for sharing this.

In reply to Jackie Garvin. Well, I went ahead and made the 6 bone 16.5 pound roast as described. 500 degrees for 82 minutes etc etc. It came out PERFECT. It was terrifying to hear the sizzling for an hour twenty- two minutes at 500. The ends were perfectly well done, a farther in it was medium and center was rare/medium rare.
