Equipment

  • Large roasting pan
  • Wire rack to elevate the roast
  • Meat Thermometer for accuracy
  • Sharp carving knife
  • Tongs or heatproof gloves for handling
  • Serving Platter

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs rib roast
  • ½ cup rock salt
  • Lawry’s season salt as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare the Roasting Pan: Line a large roasting pan with a thick layer of rock salt (½ cup), then place a wire rack over the salt. This prevents the meat from touching the salt directly and allows heat to circulate.
  • Place the Prime Rib: Set the 4-lb rib roast on the wire rack with the fat side facing up. This lets the fat render down and naturally baste the roast during cooking.
  • Season the Roast: Generously sprinkle Lawry’s Seasoned Salt over the entire surface of the meat. Be sure to cover all sides for even flavor distribution.
  • Roast to Perfection: Place in a preheated oven at 350°F. Cook for 30 minutes per pound—so for a 5-lb roast, that's 2.5 hours. No need to cover or baste!
  • Rest Before Slicing: Let the roast sit for 20 minutes after removing it from the oven. This ensures the juices redistribute for maximum tenderness.
  • Serve and Enjoy!: Slice into 1-inch thick cuts and serve with your favorite sides. Perfectly pink, juicy, and full of flavor.

Tips

  • Use a meat thermometer to hit your desired doneness (130°F for rare, 140°F for medium).
  • Don’t skip the rest time—this ensures a juicy cut.
  • Use room temperature meat before roasting to ensure even cooking.
  • Season generously but avoid rubbing the salt directly into the meat.
  • Let the fat side face upward so it bastes the meat naturally.
