Prime Rib? Is it really this easy?

[shortbun]

Went to the butcher yesteday asking about prime rib. He says, "Ma'am,
it's the easiest piece of meat to cook!. 350 uncovered for 22 minutes a
pound. Buy a pound per person. Rub it with garlic salt and oil. voila!"

Does anyone disagree? Or-have other suggestions? I'm making it in
honor of my husband and DFIL who both love it. DS is a vegetarian so
we'll have loads of veggies and my favorite-mashed potatoes.

Yes-it is pretty easy- I'm making this also. one very strong suggestion is to use a meat thermometer, and take it out of the oven when it is within 5-10 degrees of the doneness you want, and plan on letting it sit for about 20 minutes before carving-itwill continue to cook while it sits. I figure it costs too much to take a risk on it not coming out right- the thermometer will take care of that-enjoy!!!

looking for other suggestions on how to cook it and season it also..I bought one today for our xmas dinner..just a 3 1/2 lb one since there's only the 2 of us...but the butcher here says 325 for an hr and a half..that sounds like too long to me?
