Tomahawk Roast

PREPARATION:

1. Let the prime rib come to room temperature for about two hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
3. Season the roast with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Wrap the bones in foil to prevent burning.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped rosemary, coarse black pepper, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder and kosher salt to make a paste. Rub this mixture over the meat.

COOKING:

1. Place the prime rib in a roasting pan.
2. Cook at 450°F for 30 minutes to sear the outside and lock in juices.
3. Reduce heat to 350°F and continue cooking until the meat thermometer reads:

• 110°F for medium-rare
• 120°F for medium
• 130°F for medium-well
• 140°F for well-done

Cooking time is approximately 15 to 20 minutes per pound.
Note: the roast will continue cooking after it is removed from the oven.

RESTING:

1. Let the roast rest covered with foil for 15 minutes before slicing.
