How to Air Fry Prime Rib
Prime Rib Temperature Chart
Refer to my prime rib beef temperature chart and use a meat thermometer to assure your roast reaches your desired degree of doneness. For best results, I recommend pulling your roast at 5 degrees below your desired doneness and letting it rest for 15 minutes before carving. It will come to temperature while resting.
