Ingredients
  

  • 1 standing rib roast also known as prime rib, approximately 6-7 pounds (2.7-3.2 kg)
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup lard

Instructions
 

Preparation:

  • Remove the rib roast from the refrigerator at least 2 hours before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature.
  • Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).

Seasoning:

  • In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, and lard to form a paste.
  • Pat the roast dry with paper towels.
  • Rub the seasoning paste evenly over the entire surface of the roast.

Roasting:

  • Place the roast, bone-side down, on a rack set inside a roasting pan.
  • Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding bone and fat.
  • Roast in the preheated oven at 500°F (260°C) for 15 minutes to develop a flavorful crust.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness:
    Rare: 120°F (49°C)
    Medium Rare: 130°F (54°C)
    Medium: 140°F (60°C)
  • Cooking times will vary based on the size of the roast and your oven; typically, estimate about 15 minutes per pound after the initial high-temperature sear.

Resting:

  • Once the roast reaches the desired internal temperature, remove it from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Allow the roast to rest for 30 minutes. This resting period lets the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a juicier roast.

Carving and Serving:

  • After resting, transfer the roast to a cutting board.
  • Using a sharp carving knife, slice the roast against the grain into desired thickness.
  • Serve
