Followed this recipe to the T. I used a boneless 7lb prime rib from Costco and it came out beautifully for Thanksgiving. The center was a gorgeous pink and it was so juicy. Thanks Chef John for helping me prepare and cook my first prime rib. It was a hit.

For the garlic herb butter, I found this recipe and used it:

1 cup butter, softened
7 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon pepper

Made my first prime rib last night followed your instructions to a t, and it came out so amazing literally melted like butter in the mouth, just pure perfection. I was really impressed thank you!

We have literally used this video for the last 5 years- today I remembered to like comment and subscribe. It makes a heavenly prime rib. We love to get a larger roast and make French dips the next day. Amazing

I used your recipe for Christmas and it was outstanding! My husband has told everyone he sees about our prime rib! We both have the recipe saved in several locations and can hardly wait for the Easter celebration! You can be sure we won’t loose the recipe! Thank you so much!

i saw this originally about 8 years ago. I have cooked a prime rib every holiday since using this method. Worked great every time

I've been using this recipe since 2017 and always refresh my memory by looking up this video at EVERY holiday. I can never remember that it's a 500 degree oven! I did find doing a huge roast was a fail one year - - overcooked on the ends, a few med rare inches, so I've started cutting my roasts in half (5 lbs each) and use the math for just one roast's' weight (5x5) and they are always boneless, comes out perfect!

Here for my yearly thanksgiving check-in! I’ve been assigned on prime rib duty ever since finding this recipe. Cheers to my 3 yr anniversary 😂🥩

Back for my annual refresher, this is absolutely a hit every year

[whip-its_dad]

Absolutely the best ! I used this style of cooking prime rib 5 years in a row and it works everytime . Thank you .

[mikestanley]

By far the best and easiest. Hard to mess up:) Absolutely Delicious. I stop by every holiday to brush up and it’s ALWAYS a Hit!

[capricciocakepops]

I gave it a try this year and omg it’s the best recipe! If you’re afraid like me don’t be, follow directions throughly and you will have the juiciest and delicious prime rib ever! Very important like he said room temperature, I let sit mine for about 8 hours and my family loved it! Thank you so much for this recipe

Made this & it turned out perfect! Did it with bone in & boneless. I even cooked 2 of them in the oven at the same time & it still turned out great. This is now my to go recipe for Prime Ribs! ❤️

I found you while trying to figure out how to cook a prime rib I was able to snag on sale. It was great. Everybody loved it, he gets made every Easter. It has become a staple in my household.

OMG!! We made it tonight and it was perfect!! We added an extra minute to our 8 lb. So instead of starting the timer at 1 min we did it at 2 min. We will forever use Chef John's method. A big big big thank you!!!

I am doing this prime rib again because it was so good and so worth it. This time we also put panko crumbs on the ends for that additional crunch. We also blended in some fresh minced garlic with the thyme and rosemary. I just also shared this with a woman I know making her 1st prime rib for her grandmother this holiday season.

Ok, so we made a 5.25 pound prime rib using this method, and it was UNREAL. First time ever making a prime rib, and it was literally the best we’ve ever had. And it was EASY. Only thing we changed was our herb butter, due to availability; we did pressed garlic, a whole head of roasted garlic, smoked paprika, Rosemary, thyme, onion powder, and fennel (plus a ton of salt and pepper on the outside), and it turned out perfect. About to carve up some leftovers for sandwiches right now! Thank you, Chef John!!!

For all those asking, as I did myself, whether this works on a large roast, I'm happy to report it does. I cooked a 13.99 pound roast this Christmas following the timing directions to the letter. I had actually convinced myself that I would cut it in two and cook them separately (I have a double oven), but in the end I just had to know, so I left it whole.

I had left it out for nearly 9 hours, so it was not cold at all. 70 mins at 500 seemed scary but I stuck with it and then left it in the turned-off oven for an excruciating 2 hours. Temp of the middle was 131 and it was a delicious pink.

When I pulled it out and cut it up it was perfect. Lots of oohs and ahhs with this one. I will stick with this recipe every time.

The one thing I will do is add more seasoning/spice. I felt like I added a lot with the 3 sticks of butter (it took a lot to cover all 14 pounds) but could have used more.

I use this every year for our Christmas prime rib dinner, absolutely perfect! I've also used this method on a bottom round roast and it turned out amazing!

We are doing this again tonight for New Years Eve. This method has been a godsend as I cannot tell you how much anxiety I have had over the years cooking rib roasts and 1 of 2 things usually happened it was underdone or overcooked but not with this method it is perfect every time!
