Recipe: Convection Oven Prime Rib Roast for Rhonda in Seattle

Convection Roast

Roast Prime Rib

Prime rib is a simple yet spectacular star for a dinner party or special occasion feast. Creating a crust for the meat with a simple spice rub mixed with some garlic and oil is all that is needed, allow 2 ribs per person when ordering and order a boneless roast for easier carving.

1 5lb boneless prime rib roast
1/4 cup mixed Italian seasoning and minced garlic
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper to taste

Make a few shallow slits in the meat and rub in the oil and seasoning mixture over the meat. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees, place the meat on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, place in the oven and lower the oven temperature to 400. Insert the meat probe and program to 135 for medium rare, 145 for medium and 160 for well done. Set the timer for 20 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350 for the remaining cooking time. Be sure to let the meat rest tented loosely with foil for at least 15 minutes prior to carving.
