Enjoy Perfectly Cooked Prime Rib Every Time With This Closed-Oven Method
BY Javaria Akbar
It can be hard to tell if your prime rib has reached that perfect, succulent sweet spot; luckily, the closed-oven method produces a juicy and tender medium-rare steak every time.
This clever culinary technique is a form of carryover cooking where you use residual heat to finish cooking your roast in a switched-off oven.
Simply give your prime rib a quick roast, switch the oven off, and leave it with the door closed to finish cooking in the lingering heat for the next several hours.
This allows the prime rib's exterior to develop a golden crust while the residual heat moves inwards, ensuring the center cooks through just enough so it's tender but not mooing.
