Prime Rib Internal Temp

Here are the cooking temperatures to go by when making a standing rib roast. The temperature is the same whether you’re making a bone-in or boneless roast.

  • Rare Prime Rib: 120-129°F, Bright red center, lukewarm.
  • Medium Rare: 130-134°F, Bright red center, pink edges, warm.
  • Medium: 135-144°F, Pink and warm throughout.
  • Medium Well: 145-154°F, Slightly pink center and warm throughout.
  • Well Done: 155-164°F, Very little pink

It’s imperative to utilize an instant read thermometer to measure the internal temperature as it cooks. It you haven’t purchased a meat thermometer, make sure to do so! Here’s our favorite brand: Thermaworks Dot.

Prime Rib Temperature

When making a beef roast, cook based on internal temperature vs. time. Your “pull/remove from the heat” temperature will be below the final temperature you’re aiming to serve the meat at.

The roast will increase in temperature the longer it rests, so you’ll want to adjust your “pull time” accordingly. Here’s a guideline to reference:

  • Resting 10-15 minutes – The pull temp will be 5-7°F below the final temp you’re aiming for.
  • Resting 20-25 minutes – The pull temp will be 20°F below the final temp you’re aiming for.

Plan out your cooking schedule to ensure you have ample time to cook your roast to your preferred doneness. 

Temperature For Prime Rib Medium Rare

The most popular temp is medium rare. Medium rare is how it’s usually served in restaurants, unless you specifically ask for it to be cooked at another temp.

At this temp, the roast has a bright red center, pink edges and is warm throughout. It’s like biting into butter at this temp.
