Select a standing aged prime rib roast. Follow these instructions for any size roast. Let meat stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour before cooking.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rub meat with salt, sprinkle with pepper and place meat fat side up in a shallow pan. Put roast in oven; cook 1 hour. Turn off heat. DO NOT open oven door at any time until ready to serve.

Regardless of the length of time the meat has been in oven, 30-40 minutes before serving, turn oven on again. Reset temperature to 375 degrees. Cook meat for those remaining 30-40 minutes. Open door, remove roast. Meat will be very brown and crisp on outside. Carve thin slices and dip in Lawry's Au Jus before serving.
