Prime Rib Recipe
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
- Letting the roast rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful cut.
- 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:
- Herb Crust Variation: Add chopped parsley and basil to the herb mixture for a different flavor profile.
- Garlic Butter Variation: Substitute the herb paste with a mixture of softened butter and minced garlic for a richer taste.
- Spice Rub Variation: Use a dry spice rub with paprika, cayenne pepper, and cumin for a spicy twist on classic prime rib.
