Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 prime rib roast, bone-in (about 6 lbs)
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 2 hours. This ensures even cooking.
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning adhere and creates a nice crust during cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, cracked black pepper, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, and softened butter to create a paste.
Rub the entire surface of the prime rib roast with the seasoning paste, ensuring even coverage, including the sides.
Place the seasoned prime rib on a roasting rack inside a large roasting pan, bone-side down.
Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding the bone.
Roast the prime rib in the preheated oven at 500°F (260°C) for 20 minutes to form a browned crust.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare or 130°F (54°C) for medium. This will take approximately 2.5 to 3 hours.
Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the roast from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes. During this time, the internal temperature will rise by about 5-10°F.
Carve the prime rib into thick slices, serve with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy your Special Occasion Scrumptious Prime Rib!
