Start thinking about your Christmas rib roast now

By Kyle Roberts

‘Tis the season for the best cut of meat: Prime Rib.

And armed with only the roast, a ton of butter, and Kinder’s Prime Steak Rub, you can be the Gordon Ramsey your family deserves this Christmas season.

As a bonus, your entire house will smell heavenly in the hours while it roasts in your oven.

Just follow the ingredients and step below for a perfectly cooked, medium rare rib roast.

Ingredients

  • One rib roast (I went six pounds with four bones still in)
  • Three sticks of room temperature butter
  • Kinder’s Prime Steak Rub

Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F.
  • Mix together the butter and seasoning salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
  • Rub the butter mixture all over the rib roast, then place on a roasting tray with a rack.
  • Bake for 5 minutes per pound of meat (example: 25 minutes for a 5-pound roast).
  • Turn off the heat and let the rib roast sit in the oven for 2 hours, making sure you do not open the oven door or else the residual heat will escape.

That last step is key. Make whatever empty threats you must to your children and be clear: DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR.

Once finished, we let ours set for about 20 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy with any type of greens, potatoes and rolls.
