And cutting into it.
My family recipe: Prime Rib (can be roast beef as well) Ingredients 1 Prime/Choice Rib 1tb chopped garlic 2tb fresh basil 2tb fresh oregano 2tb fresh rosemary 4tb+ olive oil 1tb kosher salt 1tb ground pepper
Directions Preheat oven to 500f
Mix non-meat ingredients together and apply to meat
Roast at 500f for X minutes per lb, then turn oven off and let sit for 2 hours, remove, slice X = 5 minutes for rare X = 6 minutes for medium X = 7 minutes for well done
I’ve done prime rib both ways and reverse sear (low cook temp, rest, 500 for 10 min to brown) resulted in a much less gray banding. My stepdad did 500*X min for years and it’s still good, you just get more uniformly cooked meat with reverse sear.
