What Is a Standing Rib Roast?

A standing rib roast (a.k.a. a prime rib) is a cut of beef from the primal rib. It is typically roasted standing on its ribs so that the meat does not touch the pan.

How to Cook a Standing Rib Roast

You’ll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you cook a standing rib roast:

Brush the roast with oil, then season. Place onto the rack with the fatty side facing up.

Reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F and tent with foil.
Keep cooking until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees F.

How to Store Standing Rib Roast

Wrap the leftover standing rib roast tightly in storage wrap and refrigerate for up to five days. Reheat in the oven, not the microwave, so the roast doesn't get rubbery.

Ingredients

1 (4 pound) rib roast
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
¼ cup sea salt
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Set a rack inside a shallow roasting pan.
Brush rib roast lightly with olive oil, then rub sea salt, pepper, and garlic all over. Place onto the rack with the fatty side facing up.
Roast in the preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and tent the pan with aluminum foil. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the rib roast registers 140 degrees (60 degrees C) for medium, about 1 hour (or 15 minutes per pound if your roast is a different size).
Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 to 20 minutes, then remove the foil and carve.
