After 15–20 minutes, lower the temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for about 15–20 minutes per pound (for medium-rare), or until the internal temperature reaches:

  • Medium-rare: 125°F (52°C)
  • Medium: 135°F (57°C)

Additions

Sides: Pair your prime rib with classic sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, or a fresh salad.

Sauce: Serve with a creamy horseradish sauce or a rich gravy to complement the beef’s flavor.
