How To Make Poor Mans Prime Rib

1. Oven Prelude: Preheat your oven to a sizzling 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). This high temperature is our secret to a beautifully browned exterior.
2. Seasoning Sonata: While your oven heats, serenade the roast with a loving rub of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place this seasoned marvel in a roasting pan or baking dish, unadorned by cover or water. It’s its solo performance, after all.
3. Roasting Rhapsody: Introduce the roast to the oven, then immediately lower the temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). This initial high heat will create a magnificent crust. Roast for 21 minutes – a magical seven minutes per pound.
4. Resting Reverie: Here’s where the magic deepens. Turn off the oven and let the roast luxuriate in the residual heat for 2 1/2 hours. Resist the temptation to peek! The oven’s embrace will gently cook it to perfection.
5. The Grand Finale: Remove the roast, now transformed into a dish worthy of royalty. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) for a medium finish. Carve it into thin slices, each a testament to your culinary prowess.
