How to Cook Prime Rib in the Instant Pot
Instant Pot Rib Roast Tips
Follow our Prime Rib Cooking Chart to find your ideal temperature.When searing, the temperature will rise. This is why you want to pull the prime rib out of the Instant Pot early before it cooks to your desired temperature. You can brown the roast in a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop if you prefer. This is another method of reverse searing prime rib.The roast should have a nice crust on it as you’re searing it in the pot. Let the pot heat up first before adding the rib roast.Let the rib roast rest 15 minutes before carving. This helps lock in the flavor.Slice against the grain when cutting for the most tender prime rib.Please note, you will have to add more time if you want your your prime rib medium well to well done or if you purchase a larger roast. Always use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of your roast.
How to Choose the Perfect Prime Rib
I highly recommend purchasing a Boneless Prime Rib for cooking in the Instant Pot. Always look for a boneless rib roast with plenty of marbling. Marbling refers to the streaks and flecks of white fat throughout a cut of beef. Fat is flavor, so plenty of marbling means your roast beef will taste amazing!
Prime Rib Seasoning
The seasoning is as simple as using salt and pepper. Use plenty of sea salt and black pepper for your rub. Double-check your beef stock is unsalted, as you won’t want to over-salt your beef. You can also use our prime rib rub recipe. It is very simple but perfect for this recipe. Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and parsley are optional, but add a lovely flavor to the beef.
