Ideal for Christmas dinner, New Year’s celebrations, or an indulgent Sunday roast, this recipe is a must-try for lovers of hearty, gourmet cuisine.
Remove the prime rib roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours. Allowing the meat to come to room temperature ensures even cooking.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and olive oil to form a paste.
Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels. Using your hands, rub the seasoning paste generously all over the roast, pressing it into the meat for maximum flavor.
Place the seasoned roast on a roasting rack set inside a large roasting pan, fat side up.
Roast the prime rib at 450°F (232°C) for 20 minutes to sear the outside and lock in the juices.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast to check the temperature.
Remove the prime rib from the oven, tent it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. During this time, the internal temperature will rise by about 5-10°F (3-5°C).
Carve the prime rib into slices and serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh rosemary and thyme if desired. Enjoy!
