    8 lbs prime rib roast (hotel style)
    1 teaspoon peppercorn, freshly ground
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 (10 ounce) cans beef consomme, cold

    Turn oven off. DO NOT OPEN oven door.
    Very important for good results!
    I always sealed the oven door with tape to make sure the boys did not accidentally open it.
    An hour before serving, turn oven to 350* and roast meat 45 minutes more.
    Remove from oven and let rest on counter top for 20 minutes before carving.
    Bring pan juices to a boil, add consomme and heat.
    Jus can be thickened it a bit with Veloutine*.
    Tips:Serve with deep brown potatoes and a vegetable of your choice. Extra \"jus\" and horseradish as accompaniments make the meal sublime.
    For a 10 pound roast, increase second cooking period to 1 hour.
    *Veloutine is an Instant Thickener made by Knorr.
