Restaurant-Style Prime Rib Roast

Ingredients

• 1 roast-ready prime rib roast , 14 pound
• aluminum foil
• 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons celery seed

Instructions

1. 1

   Remove rib roast from the refrigerator. Allow it to come to room temperature for about 3 hours, depending on its size.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.

3. 3

   Place rib roast onto the prepared roasting pan; blot with paper towels. Sift together flour, pepper, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and celery seed into a bowl. Coat roast all over with flour mixture.

4. 4

   Roast in the preheated oven until cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 1/2 hours (20 minutes a pound) for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) for medium-rare, 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium, or 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for well-done.

5. 5

   Cover roast with aluminum foil. Let rest on the counter in a warm spot for 30 minutes to 1 hour before slicing.
