Remove the standing rib roast from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 2 hours prior to cooking. This ensures more even cooking throughout the roast.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the rib roast on a rack in a roasting pan, with the bone side facing down.
Rub the olive oil all over the surface of the roast. Then, generously sprinkle the salt, pepper, and garlic powder mixture over the entire surface, patting it down so it adheres well.
Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, ensuring it does not touch the bone.
Roast the prime rib in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium rare, or 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Once the desired internal temperature is reached, remove the roast from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes; the internal temperature will continue to rise slightly during this time.
Carve the roast by slicing between the ribs, and serve with fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish, if desired.
