If I could give this recipe 10 stars I would. I, like many other members, was very skeptical about this recipe . . . and cooking this cut of meat in general. I have never ever made a roast and was pretty worried about how to cook it. After reading all the other rave reviews I decided I was going to give it a shot. I was expecting 16 people for xmas dinner and it was my first year making it myself (so you can see why I was so worried). I used a 9 pound cut of meat and followed the directions pretty much to a T except that I rubbed the spices all over the meat & let it sit over night before coooking it. I was afraid that I or someone else would open the oven so I taped it shut. At times I thought the roast might be cooking too much or not enough and again too much. BUT, when I opened that oven door it revealed the most perfect rib roast I have ever laid eyes on. And when we cut it open everyone oohed & awed! Because the meat was 9 pounds I did keep it in the over for 45-50 minutes on the last cooking time rather than 30-40 and it came out perfectly. This was the best prime rib I have ever had - put Cattleman's to shame. I will definitely be making this again & again. My whole family loved it. I will never be afraid to cook that $80 cut of meat again - this recipe is truly fool proof. Thank you for sharing!
