Reverse Sear Prime Rib

about the recipe

Mastering the art of preparing Reverse Sear Prime Rib is easier than you think! This technique involves slow-roasting the prime rib first, then blasting it with high heat to get that beautiful, golden-brown crust.  You will get a beautifully tender, juicy, and evenly cooked prime rib every single time.
