Prime Rib Roast
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Bring meat to room temperature. Rub the roast with a 4:1 mixture of salt to black pepper and garlic powder. In a roasting pan, place the roast, fat side up, so the ribs act as a rack. Preheat the oven to 375 degree F.  Roast for 1 hour. Turn off oven. Leave roast in oven but do not open oven door for 3 hours. About 30 to 40 minutes before serving time, turn oven to 375 degrees F and reheat the roast. Important: Do not remove roast or re-open the oven door from time roast is put in until ready to serve.
