Ingredients
Scale
- 4-5 pound Prime Rib Roast (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Remove the prime rib roast from the refrigerator at least 2 hours before cooking. Pat the roast dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a fragrant paste.
- Generously rub the herb mixture all over the prime rib roast, ensuring every surface is well coated.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Make sure your oven rack is in the center position.
- Place the seasoned prime rib roast in a roasting pan, fat side up. Sear it in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness. For rare, aim for 120-125°F (49-52°C); for medium-rare, 130-135°F (54-57°C); and for medium, 140-145°F (60-63°C). Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast to check the temperature.
- Once the roast reaches your desired temperature, remove it from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes before carving.
- Carve the prime rib against the grain into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Serve immediately and enjoy!
