Ingredients

  • 4 -6 lbs prime rib roast

  • Mix together marinade and pour over meat in a shallow pan, dish, or bag.
  • Refrigerate for 6-24 hours, turning occasionally.
  • Before cooking, discard marinade and let meat sit at room temperature for 1 hour.

  • Insert meat thermometer (don't touch bone) and cook for 1 hour, fat side up.
  • Turn off oven and keep meat in oven for 4 hours.
  • DO NOT OPEN OVEN AT ANY TIME DURING COOKING PROCESS!
  • 1 hour before serving, turn oven back on to 375 degrees and cook for 45 minutes.

  • Let meat sit for 15 minutes before carving.
  • This cooking method works with any size roast, but marinade should be increased for larger roasts.
