Equipment

Roasting pan
Aluminum foil
Measuring Spoons
Measuring cup
Bowl
Paper towels
Instant-Read Meat Thermometer

Ingredients

14 lb 1 prime rib roast bones removed and tied back on
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp celery seed

Instructions

Take the prime rib roast out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 3 hours.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line your roasting pan with foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the roast dry with paper towels and place it into the prepared pan.
In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and celery seed.
Evenly coat the entire roast with the flour mixture, pressing it gently to stick.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes per pound (around 4½ hours for a 14 lb roast), or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness—120°F for medium-rare, 130°F for medium, or 140°F for well-done.
Once done, loosely tent the roast with foil and let it rest for 30–60 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer for best results — don’t guess!
Resting the meat helps keep it juicy and easier to slice.
