Ingredients:
- Round roast of beef, weighing three pounds
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Properly Preparing Poor Man’s Prime Rib
- Preheat the Oven: Get the oven hot, about 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius).
- Season the Roast: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the roast before placing it in a baking dish or roasting pan. Do not add water or cover.
- Cooking Process: Put the roast in the oven when it’s ready to cook. Turn down the heat to 475 °F, or 245 °C. Allow the roast to rest in the preheated oven for two and a half hours after roasting for 21 minutes (or seven minutes per pound). At this very moment, you must not open the door.
- Check Internal Temperature: Roasts should be taken out of the oven when their internal temperatures reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius). Before serving, thinly slice the meat.
Tips for Success:
- Ensure the oven is properly preheated to achieve the desired sear on the meat.
- Resist the temptation to open the oven door during the cooking process to maintain consistent heat.
- Use a meat thermometer to accurately gauge the internal temperature of the roast for perfect doneness.
