Cooking prime rib effectively requires careful attention to detail, starting with letting it come to room temperature. Chef K.C. Gulbro emphasizes this step to ensure even cooking, as cooking cold meat can lead to overcooking the exterior while the center remains undercooked. For safety, remove the meat from packaging and allow it to sit uncovered for 30 minutes to an hour, ensuring it's safe from degradation. Chefs agree that this practice significantly enhances the end result, especially for such a premium cut of meat.
Let the meat sit out until it reaches room temperature to ensure even cooking. Allowing the meat to sit allows for more even cooking, from crust to center.
Some say that this step isn't always necessary, but Gulbro and plenty of other chefs swear by the technique, especially when it comes to pricey prime rib.
Remove the prime rib from any packaging, as the wrapper might trap some of the coldness inside. Allow it to sit on the counter for 30 minutes to an hour.
For food safety, the raw beef should not sit out for more than two hours before cooking, to prevent spoilage and bacterial growth.
