COOK TIME FOR PRIME RIB RECIPES

Steps:

• Sprinkle the meat liberally with salt and let the meat come to room temperature for 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F.
• Dab the meat dry with paper towels, add any additional seasonings and place in the oven. Roat for 15 minutes.
• Reduce the oven to 325f and roast for 12 minutes per pound for rare and 14 mintues per pound for medium-rare.
• Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cutting board and cover the meat with tin foil. Rest for 15 to 30 minutes before carving and serving.

Steps:

• For the prime rib: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Put the butter, horseradish, peppercorns and 2 tablespoons salt in a medium bowl and stir until evenly combined. Slather the seasoned butter evenly over the top and sides of the roast (leave the bottom bare) and put on a rack set in a large roasting pan. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes (5 minutes per pound), then turn the oven off and let the roast sit inside the oven for 1 1/2 hours (do not open the oven door during this time). It should be dark golden brown on the outside and medium rare on the inside.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, whisk the sour cream, horseradish, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper together in a medium bowl until well combined. Stir in the chives, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. 
• Cut the roast into 1-inch-thick slices and serve with the sauce.
