For optimal flavor and texture, cook prime rib to medium rare or an internal temperature of 130-135°F. Ideally, you want to remove the meat from the oven or grill when the temperature reaches 120-125°F (rare) and let it rest for about 20 to 30 minutes before slicing.
What do I do if my prime rib is too rare?
The best thing for solving this is sous vide. Prime rib is big, though, so the practical thing is the oven. Cover the meat in foil and bake at a low temperature (maybe around 250F) until the inside is about 10F below the desired temperature. Remove from heat, and it will rest up to the proper temperature.

Why is my prime rib tough?
Prime rib is at its best cooked rare or medium rare — it should not be cooked past medium (140°F) or all the fat will melt out of the meat, leaving it tough, dry, and chewy. After the prime rib is cooked, make sure to let it rest for 30 minutes for the meat to reabsorb all the delicious juices before carving.
