Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (4-5 pound) prime rib roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a paste.
  3. Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels.
  4. Rub the garlic herb paste all over the prime rib roast, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  5. Place the roast, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
  6. Roast for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C).
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting for about 12-15 minutes per pound, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers your desired doneness (120-125°F for rare, 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium).
  8. Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest, tented loosely with foil, for 15-20 minutes before carving.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, you can broil the roast for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching it very carefully to prevent burning.
  • Allowing the roast to rest is crucial for juicy, tender meat.
  • Serve with your favorite au jus or horseradish sauce.
