We decided to stay in for New Years Eve with a couple friends and I made a valiant attempt at cooking a Prime Rib Roast we picked up at Paulina Meat Market. Long story short, it worked out pretty well. I think it could have been a little less done but nonetheless it was good.

Roughly following this recipe I set the 6 lb. roast out to rest for about 3 hours, then preheated the oven to 500°F. The roast was rubbed with kosher salt, pepper and butter on the sides and then put it in the oven. The roast sears at 500°F for about 15 minutes and then finished at 325°F for about an hour and a half.  I let the roast rest for about half an hour and then carved away.

Side Note:

* We also made a Jameson caramel sauce to pour over brownies and ice cream.
