Ingredients

  • 4 lb. standing rib roast (prime rib) bone-in or boneless
  • 1 cup butter two sticks
  • 2 tbsp. fennel seed
  • 2 tbsp. caraway seed
  • 2 tbsp. coriander seed
  • 2 tbsp. garlic salt

Instructions

  • Remove roast from refrigerator an hour before baking and let come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Spread room temperature butter evenly over all sides of roast. Place roast on a wire rack in a baking pan. Combine fennel seed, caraway seed, coriander seed and garlic salt. Press spice mixture into butter, covering entire roast.
  • Bake roast in 500 degree oven according to the following method:
    5 minutes per pound, then shut oven off and DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR for 1 1/2 hours for bone-in roast and 1 hour 15 minutes for boneless roast.
    For Example:
    4 lb. roast x 5 minutes = 20 minutes - This is how long you cook at 500 degrees.
    After this, shut the oven off and leave roast in for an additional 1 1/2 for bone-in roast and 1 hour and 15 minutes for boneless roast.
  • Once baking time has ended, open oven, remove roast to counter, cover with a piece of foil and let rest for about 15 - 20 minutes.
