We make this every Christmas and it never disappoints. For those not liking rare meat we slice off a "steak" sized piece and throw it in a very hot cast iron skillet for a minute or so on each side .

What changes should I make for a Medium-Well/Well done roast? I have a few picky eaters coming to the table!

We just have a hot cast iron skillet ready and throw a slice in for a minute or so on each side for those liking it more done, without ruining the whole thing for the others

My husband bought a 10 pound rib roast- how should I alter the Foolproof Standing Rib Roast recipe?

January 02, 2025

The recipe should work out for any size! But you can get a ovenproof thermometer to gauge what temp the meat gets to your liking!

Which part decides the level of "doneness" - the first cook time or the reheat?

We need ours to be more done (medium to medium well), but cutting it in half doesn't work well for our needs. Should we increase the initial cook time or the reheat time (or both)?

The reheat will give you the most accurate level of doneness. YOu can use an oven proof meat thermometer to read the temp of the meat without having to open the door!

Time to roast two 5-pound standing rib roasts together

Are there any other changes to the time to roast two 5-pound standing rib roasts together according to your Paula Dean recipe?

Does it need to stand after reheating or did the standing already take place as the oven cooled down?

IT is fine to serve once it has been reheated!

Can you please give me cooking info for a small 2.5 lb prime rib roast. I made the 5lb roast at Christmas and it was to die for!

standing rib roast pan

Does the depth of the pan really matter? What if you dont have a wire rack to go in the pan?


The Deen Team

January 25, 2023

You can just use your largest pan but the wire rack is recommended so the bottom of the meat doesn't get soggy.

You would want to cook it exactly as she does but put a digital thermometer that you can check without opening door to your desired doneness!
