This is what our 6-pounder looked like. Would a
20 pounder work as well? Spoiler Alert: Yes.

The most common question after we posted our now famous“Method X” for making perfect prime rib was “will this work with much bigger,full-size roasts?” Since I'd only used the method on smaller specimens, I washesitant to green-light much larger pieces of beef without having tested itmyself.

Well, thanks to Bill in Salt Lake City, we now have visualproof that this great technique does work on the big boys. Here’s what thefearless cook had to say:

“Your recipe does indeed work on larger bone-in prime rib roasts. I followed the recipe to the tee, onthree 18 to 21 lb. roasts using three different ovens in three separate skicondo ovens, all with different thermostats. All came out perfectly. I had 29very pleased snowmobilers!”
As everyone knows, there are few groups harder to pleasethan a bunch of starving, probably drunk snowmobilers, so this must have really beenamazing. Below you’ll see pictures of Bill’s fine work, along with the videoshowing this easy method. By the way, after seeing the size of Bill’s slices,if you ever get invited to one of his prime rib dinners, you shoulddefinitely go. Thanks for sharing, Bill!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Prime rib is very expensive, so no matter what method you use (traditional or Method X), you should always have a probe-style thermometer inserted so that the internal temp can be monitored, to avoid any chance of over-cooking. Set the probe alarm (125 F. for medium-rare) just in case, and pull the roast from oven even if there's still time left on the timer.
