• Cook until desired internal temperature (use meat thermometer):

Internal Temperature Guide

• Rare: 48–50°C (118–122°F)
• Medium-Rare (recommended): 54–57°C (130–135°F)
• Medium: 60–63°C (140–145°F)

💡 A 6-lb roast usually takes 2–2.5 hours at low temperature.

✅ 5. Resting the Prime Rib

VERY IMPORTANT:

• Remove roast from oven.
• Tent loosely with foil.
• Let rest 20–30 minutes.
• Temperature will rise another 3–5°C while resting.

This makes the meat extremely juicy.
