Prime Rib?
How big/what size would I need to feed 5?......One website said a 5.57 lb roast is only "2 Bones" and will feed 4........Does that sound accurate?......My local butcher told me I need a 5 inch roast.....

Remove from oven, tent with aluminum foil tightly, and let set for 30-45 minutes. Remove foil for a few minutes, it will still be hot. Serve.

Be still my heart...I'm sorry, but I must strongly disagree with this (one) step of the process. Never, ever, ever put a tight tent of aluminum foil over a dry-cooked roast you've just removed from the oven.
Post oven cooking rise is the reason for the rest period, and it's critically important that the roast not be subjected to the steaming that tight covering will cause. All the juices will end up in the bottom of the pan instead of in the roast!
I was taught to let it rest, uncovered, for five or ten minutes. By then temperature rise is over and it would be safe to cover- loosely- if the table's not ready.
