Equipment

  • 4-quart or larger air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb prime rib roast
  • 3 tbsp clarified butter or tallow
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
  • Season the prime rib: Generously coat the roast with 2 tablespoons of melted clarified butter or tallow, then sprinkle with salt.
  • Cook the prime rib: Place the roast in the air fryer basket and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare, or adjust to your preferred doneness.
  • Baste with butter: During the last 5 minutes of cooking, baste the roast with the remaining tablespoon of butter or tallow for extra richness.
  • Rest and serve: Remove from the air fryer and let the roast rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot.

Notes

Variations (Flexible Carnivore Diet):
  • Garlic Butter Prime Rib: Add minced garlic to the butter before basting for a garlicky flavor.
  • Cheesy Prime Rib: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top in the last 2 minutes of cooking for a cheesy crust.
