Equipment

  • Roasting pan with rack
  • Meat thermometer
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring Cups

Ingredients

  • 1 4 to 5 pounds Bone-in prime rib roast
  • 4 Cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsps fresh rosemary chopped
  • 2 Tbsps fresh thyme chopped
  • 2 Tbsps olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • In a small bowl, mix together garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper to form a paste.
  • Rub the herb mixture all over the prime rib, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  • Place the roast bone-side down on a rack in a roasting pan.
  • Roast for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C) to sear the meat.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (about 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare).
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest, tented with foil, for at least 15 minutes before carving.

Notes

  1. Letting the roast rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful cut.
  2. Use a meat thermometer to accurately gauge the internal temperature for desired doneness

Time For My Personal Tips!

Tip 1: For added flavor, marinate the prime rib with the herb mixture overnight in the refrigerator.

Tip 2: Allow the prime rib to come to room temperature before roasting to ensure even cooking.

Tip 3: Use a roasting pan with a rack to elevate the meat, allowing heat to circulate evenly.

Variations:

  1. Herb Crust Variation: Add chopped parsley and basil to the herb mixture for a different flavor profile.
  2. Garlic Butter Variation: Substitute the herb paste with a mixture of softened butter and minced garlic for a richer taste.
  3. Spice Rub Variation: Use a dry spice rub with paprika, cayenne pepper, and cumin for a spicy twist on classic prime rib.
