Decided to splurge on this Christmas day. I remember this recipe from 20 years ago. I saw how people where upset because they thought this was Paula Dean's recipe, actually it isn't. It is from Ms. Wilks restaurant in Savannah. FYI, many of Paula's recipes aren't originals they came from the old ladies who actually did majority of the cooking in her restaurant in Savannah, :Lady and Sons". She uses other people recipes but she doesn't always give them credit. I am sure Ms. Wilks got this recipe from someone eles. By the way the rib roast was excellent!

Oh and I also added Rosemary and minced jarred garlic to the rub. I also took another reviewers advice and made an au jus using about 28 oz beef broth and about a tablespoon of beef boullion granules added to pan after the 3 hr oven-off period. There was some seasoning in the pan that fell off roast from the beginning so that made it even tastier! Oh and No, do NOT cover roast while in oven.

Definitely fool proof and delicious! My first time cooking a rib roast and received rave reviews by all. I followed exact directions with a 5.5 lb roast. I did have 3 sides that needed to be cooked at 350 degrees for 30-60 minutes, so I put those in immediately after removing the roast after final 35 minute reheating. Roast sat for an hour before carving while the sides were cooking and it was still delicious. Was exactly 135 degrees when I removed from oven and 145 degrees when I carved it. Perfect!

This is absolutely the best prime rib I have ever had. I made it for Christmas dinner. It was so tender and juicy. The only thing different I did was add italian seasoning to the rub. The next time I make this I will add water to the pan for the juices.

I have been reading lots of reviews, and this seems to be a great recipe! I only have a 3.5lb beautiful rib roast, and I don't want to mess it up, so I'm gonna try some suggestions: coat with seasoning, sit for 1 hour then roast in preheated 375 degree oven for 1 hour...turn off and let sit undisturbed for 3 hours. Then turn oven back on to 300 degrees (adjusted for a smaller roast) and cook for another 30-40 minutes. I also do not have a decent thermometer, so I'm going by the timing. Does this sound right? I hope so, it's going in the oven right now. I'll let you know how it turns out! Thanx, everyone, and happy holidays!!

This was my first time making a rib roast, and this recipe did not dissapoint. The only thing different that I did was to use McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning instead of salt and pepper. It was easy and resulted in a delicious and tender piece of meat. Leftovers would be great in a Philly cheesesteak or French Dip.

No matter who originated this method, Paula or someone's great grandmother, thanks for sharing this recipe and enhancing the rib roast experience for all of us. I'm pretty sure if you asked her, Paula would not say she "created" this method. Most likely it was handed down to her and she relayed it to many others.

This was excellent. Possibly a little bit too much on the rare side - i had a 10 pound roast - but the flavor was excellent. i put some slices under the broiler for about 3 mins for those who liked it slightly more well done. overall, an excellent recipe.

Easy and great! I have cooked many of rib roasts and this turned out as good as any. The ONLY reason I gave this four stars and not five..... make sure to get the best cut of meat at your local butcher block. I bought the less expensive this time and could tell the flavor diffrence. You may have to ask for the better cut at the butcher block, but for the extra money it is well worth it. It not a cut of meat you serve daily, so when you make one be sure to get the best cut possible! I covered my roast with rub and the heavly covered it with light corn syrup then rock salt. I was a little worried about to much salt.... not to worry! The prime rib was great and when served cut it with butter knifes! I cooked a 6.5 lb roast. I never put a thermometer in it untill the after the last 30 - 40 minutes of cooking, it was rare, left it in another 15 minutes....perfect. Also mix some hot horseradish with a little sour cream, to dip in, of course with some au jus, great addition to a wonderful, easy, recipe! ENJOY

I was dubious but with all the great reviews, I had to try cooking my rib roast this way. Everyone was blown away! I will cook my roast this way every time!

Last night my husband and I cooked our first rib roast. We had a 6 pound boneless ribeye roast. Also, all we had was a roasting pan without a rack. I thought for sure we were about to ruin this $50 piece of meat. We followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect. The outside had this great crust on it and the inside was medium rare, very moist. This is our new Christmas dinner tradition. Thanks to Paula Dean for her expertise. She really does know what she is doing (yes, this recipe is on her website word for word).

This is the Paula Dean recipe from Food Network almost word for word. (all you changed was "House Seasoning" to the individual ingredients) You should have mentioned this.

This was my first attempt at prime rib. Got rave reviews from my family tonight! They've asked that it become a new Christmas Eve tradition. I actually did two separate 5 lb roasts in one pan, and just doubling the rub recipe.

Delicious! I crusted the fatty side using the recipe for 'Garlic Prime Rib'. The only change I made was roasing at 500 for 30 minutes, then 375 for 30 minutes the followed the rest of the recipe exactly and it came out PERFECTLY. Yes, it comes out medium rare (maybe on the rare side) but in my opinion it's jucier that way. This is on my list for Chrismas Eve dinner every year now! Served with 'rice so nice' and au jus (drippings + 1/2 cup red wine + 1/2 cup beef stock).

Does anyone know if this recipe will work in a newer oven with a fan that comes on when you turn the oven off.....or will it cool down too fast and not cook the roast. I tried this in my older oven and it turned out great.

This is a five star recipe without a doubt! If you like your beef a bit more rare, reduce the time sitting in the oven to 2 hrs, 30 minutes, then reheat at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Internal temperature should read 125-135 degrees. Serve with au jus.

This is AMAZING! I made this for my husband as snow kept us from traveling for the holidays. I bought a 2.5 Boneless Rib Roast and made it exactly as described and it was perfect! We took it out after 30 minutes and the temp was at 140 so we put it back in for another 15 minutes and it came out medium-well (a little more done than my hubby likes, but the ends were perfect for me being pregnant). The whole thing was juicy AND NOT DRY in the least! I was very worried I would be pulling out a dry, burnt roast. The husband keeps saying "mmm, mmm, mmm" and that it's JUST like the restaurants. Thanks for making our Christmas Eve meal wonderful. There really was no reason to be scared! :)
