Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 lbs Prime rib (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tbsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Onion powder
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 2 gallons Oil for frying (peanut or canola recommended)
- 1 piece Meat thermometer
Instructions
Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature, about 1-2 hours.
Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This ensures the seasoning adheres well and reduces splattering during frying.
Mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a small bowl.
Rub the seasoning blend evenly over the entire surface of the prime rib, making sure to coat all sides.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy-duty turkey fryer to 350°F. It’s important to use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature accurately.
Once the oil reaches 350°F, carefully lower the seasoned prime rib into the hot oil using a sturdy fryer basket or hook. Do this very slowly to prevent splashing.
Fry the prime rib for about 3-4 minutes per pound. For a 5-pound roast, this should take approximately 15-20 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.
Remove the prime rib from the oil carefully and place it on a wire rack or paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, the temperature should read 130°F. For medium, aim for 140°F.
Allow the prime rib to rest for 20 minutes before slicing to let the juices redistribute.
Slice the prime rib into thick cuts and serve immediately with your favorite sides or sauces. Enjoy!
