My first attempt at prime rib

I recently submitted a paystub with 175hrs worked in two weeks. 🥲 I received a nice paycheck and decided I was deserving of a big slab of meat. I also had never cooked a prime rib roast before and wanted to try. I watched a lot of videos before starting and wanted to do the reverse sear method to avoid the dreaded gray band. Here's the gist of it:

Dry brined with seasonings, uncovered in the fridge overnight. Slow roasted at 225F until an internal temp of 115F. Rested for 45ish mins. Cranked the heat to 500F to try to get that crusty outside. Rested again for 10ish mins. Sliced and served with horseradish & chive sauce, and some aju from the sheet pan drippings.

The only things I would've changed, was waiting a little longer before pulling it from the oven at the first cook – maybe at 118-120F. Thought it was a hair rare (even for prime rib). And maybe using 450F instead of 500F for the second cook. I noticed parts of the outside were starting to get dark, borderline burned. But it was still awesome. I'm still working a ton too, so next will be treating my friends to prime rib for Friendsgiving. 👍🏻
