Cover your prime rib (tightly sealed) in cold tap water. Depending on the weight, you may have to change the water every 3 - 4 hours. I do this with my turkey every Thanksgiving Eve. I place it in an ice chest the night before. It is perfectly thawed by the time it ready to go in the oven. My turkey usually weighs 20 - 24 lbs and it about 12 hours. A prime rib may only take 4 - 7 hours.

No ! Not the microwave. Almost everyone knows that microwaves cook from the inside out; unfortunately almost everyone is wrong. Microwaves cook from the outside in just like any oven. For the many who don't want to believe this, take a large potato. Microwave it for a few minutes, then cut it in half. 15 seconds exploration with your fingertips will convince you that the outside is getting hot while the middle is still cold.
And this means ?
If you try to defrost a large roast in the microwave, the outside will get hot, the next layer in will be warm, the next layer will be cold and the rest will be frozen. The layers which are warm are perfect breeding grounds for salmonella. Not a good recipe for a merry Christmas.
So, defrost your turkey, or large roast of beef, in the refrigerator, starting early on the day before you start cooking. That way, all will defrost but none of it will get warm enough to allow a bacteria explosion.

How do you cook a frozen ribeye roast?
Its a bad idea to put a frozen ribeye roast straight in the oven -- you'll end up with a really cooked outside and a raw interior. You need to defrost the meat and bring it close to room temperature to get the best results. Remove the roast from the freezer and defrost it IN THE REFRIGERATOR for at least 24 hours before you start cooking (you may need longer depending on how big the roast is). Once the roast is fully defrosted, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit out on the counter for at least an hour at room temperature before cooking. This process allows the interior temperature of the outside and inside of the meat to get a lot closer to one another, and your meat will cook more evenly.
