There’s a reason prime rib has never gone out of fashion as a holiday centerpiece: It’s a majestic roast that signals special occasion. In our recipe for Best Prime Rib, we cook the roast to perfection by first salting it for a day and up to four; roasting it at a very low temperature for 3 to 4 hours; then cutting the heat and leaving it in the oven until it reaches 120 degrees (for rare) or about 125 degrees (for medium-rare); and finally broiling it to brown the top. The result is an exquisitely tender, juicy, rich-tasting roast with a bronzed, substantial crust.
