How to Cook Boneless Prime Rib
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Pat your room-temperature boneless prime rib dry using paper towels, then rub it with a generous amount of salt and pepper. You want to give it a good coating!
- Place the roast on a pan with a roasting rack, fat-side up.
- Add it to the oven and cook for 15 minutes at 450°F.
- After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 325°F. Cook for an additional 1 hour and 40 minutes (check the exact time for your level of doneness using the Roast Perfect App).
- Once the beef is done cooking, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board.
- Loosely tent the beef with foil for 15 minutes, then carve it against the grain. Always carve against the grain for best results.
- Serve with au jus or garlic butter, and enjoy!
Perfectly done. My family was very impressed!

Boneless Prime Rib Roast Recipe Tips
- Cooking a perfect rib roast starts with picking the best beef at the store. Always look for a prime rib that has plenty of marbling. Those little pockets of fat add so much flavor!
- Always use a meat thermometer. This eliminates any guesswork and makes it easy to cook the perfect roast every time. Refer to the degree of doneness chart above to find your preferred temperature.
- Always allow the roast to come to room temperature before cooking it; this will ensure it cooks evenly.
- Always use a roasting pan with a rack for cooking. A rack allows heat to circulate all around the roast.
- Let the prime rib rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This seals the juices in and will give you a more tender, juicier portion.
- Take your roast from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking it to allow it to come to room temperature. This ensures that it will cook evenly throughout.
Boneless Rib Roast Temperature
The USDA recommends roast beef cooking temp be a minimum of 145°F.
Beef Doneness | Internal Temperature |
---|---|
Rare beef temp | 125°F – bright red in the middle |
Medium-rare roast | 135°F – warm red in the middle with slight pink around the edges |
Medium roast | 145°F – warm pink throughout |
Medium-well roast | 150°F – slightly pink at the center |
Well-done roast | 160°F – little to no pink throughout |
Follow this step-by-step guide to the desired Chart.
Finally, when slicing beef, always slice against the grain. The “grain” looks like lines runnin
What is a Prime Rib?
Prime rib is one of the most tender beef cuts you will ever taste. It melts in your mouth and is so delicious.
Bone-in and boneless rib roasts are both cut from the rib area. It comes from the same section as ribeye steak but is left as a larger piece of meat.
Prime Rib is considered the king of roasts since it has the perfect combination of flavor, marbling, and tenderness.
How to Store and Reheat Boneless Prime Rib
Storage:
- Allow the cooked boneless prime rib to cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes after removing it from the oven or grill.
- Wrap the prime rib tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can also use a resealable plastic bag or an airtight container.
- Place it in the refrigerator. You can store it in the refrigerator if you plan to consume it within 1-2 days. For longer storage, consider freezing it (see step 2).
Freezing
- If you won’t consume the prime rib within a few days, it’s best to freeze it to maintain its quality.
- Wrap the prime rib in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, followed by a layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.
- Place it in an airtight freezer bag or container, removing as much air as possible before sealing.
- Label the package with the date to keep track of its freshness.
- Store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
Reheating
A. Oven Method: – Preheat your oven to around 250°F (120°C). – Place the unwrapped prime rib on a roasting pan with a rack to elevate it above the pan’s surface. – Cover the prime rib loosely with aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out. – Heat it in the oven until it reaches your desired internal temperature (usually 120°F to 135°F or 49°C to 57°C for medium-rare). Use a meat thermometer to monitor the temperature. – This method may take around 20-30 minutes, but the exact time will depend on the size of the prime rib and your oven.
B. Searing and Slicing: – Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. – Sear the prime rib slices for a minute or two on each side until they are heated through and have a nice crust. – This method is faster but may result in less even reheating.
C. Sous Vide: – If you have a sous vide machine, you can use it to reheat prime rib with precision. – Set the sous vide bath to the desired serving temperature (usually around 120°F to 135°F or 49°C to 57°C for medium-rare). – Place the prime rib in a vacuum-sealed bag or a resealable freezer bag with the air removed. – Submerge the bag in the sous vide bath and let it heat for about 30-45 minutes.
Following these steps, you can store and reheat boneless prime rib while preserving its quality and deliciousness.

How do you store boneless prime rib?
Store leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap on a plate or in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days. Drizzle a little bit of our au jus over the top before storing it to keep the beef moist.

Your recipe says to bring roast to room temp before cooking. But the app you recommend says NOT to bring to room temp. I’m guessing this changes timing…confused on which to do. Hate to do the wrong thing on an expensive piece of meat!

Hi Kirsten! Sorry for the confusion. I definitely recommend bringing it to room temp first. This will ensure the roast cooks evenly throughout.
