1. Pre-heat oven for at least 15 minutes at 220°C.
2. Season the prime rib with salt and black pepper just before cooking.
3. Add butter to the hot frying pan and heat till it has a nutty fragrance and starts turning
brown.
4. Add prime rib and while on high heat, baste beef with foamy butter. Fry for 1 to 3 minutes.
5. When the prime rib is nicely browned, turn over and fry for another 1 to 3 minutes.
6. Put the rib in the oven at 220°C for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Check periodically and
cook to desired doneness. To achieve rare doneness, 5 minutes on each side, medium-rare,
6 to 7 minutes on each side, medium, 8-9 minutes on each side, well done, 15 minutes.
7. Then remove the prime rib from oven and transfer onto a meat rack. Do not cover, let the
juices drip. Rest as long as the cooking time.
8. To re-heat, use a cooking pan with the remaining cooking butter and beef fat. Heat up very
gently on the stove. Spoon the butter on top as demonstrated. This will take about 5 to 6
minutes for a prime rib.
