Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 5-7 pound prime rib roast
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Equipment

  • Roasting pan
  • Meat thermometer
  • Sharp carving knife
  • Cutting board
  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

  1. Remove the prime rib roast from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  3. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and olive oil. Rub this mixture all over the roast.
  4. Put the seasoned roast in a roasting pan, bone-side down.
  5. Roast the prime rib in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  6. After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue cooking until the meat reaches your desired doneness.
  7. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: aim for 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium.
  8. Once cooked to your liking, remove the roast from the oven and tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes.
