How long should I cook a rib roast?
A rib roast should typically cook 15-20 minutes per pound.
Be sure to check the temperature of the roast using a meat thermometer so that it is done to your liking. Here are some guidelines for roasting temperatures:
- 120F -130F Rare (center will be red)
- 130F-135F Medium Rare (center will be pink)
- 135F-145F Medium (center will have some pink)
- 145F-155F Well (sliver of light pink)
- 155F-165F Well Done (mostly brown)
Your roast will continue to cook even after it comes out of the oven. Take the roast out of the oven when it reaches one of the temperatures listed above and let it stand and rest and continue to cook.
