Cooking Prime Rib
Cooking prime rib to perfection is no secret! The main thing to remember is not to over cook any steak. When meat is taken away from the heat it naturally cooks somewhat and the internal temperature can rise another 10 degrees from what it was when you removed it from the heat source.
When cooking prime rib you should always use a rub or paste. A rub is a mixture of spices that you rub all over the entire prime rib before cooking. This includes all types of cooking methods. A paste is a combination of spices with another substance that will turn the rub ingredients into a paste. The paste should be put on before cooking and can also be put during cooking.

Another kitchen gadget that you really need to own when cooking prime rib is a quality meat thermometer. This way you will be able to tell the exact internal temperature of your prime rib and will not run the risk of over cooking the meat and creating a dry, tough main course. On average, for rare beef the internal temperature should be around 130 degrees Fahrenheit, for medium rare around 140 degrees Fahrenheit, medium around 150 degrees Fahrenheit and for well done between 160 and 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
