Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (5-6 pound) Prime Rib Roast, bone-in or boneless
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, and onion powder with the olive oil to create a paste.
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Rub the garlic herb paste evenly over the entire surface of the roast.
- Place the roast, fat side up, in a roasting pan on a rack.
- Roast at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C). Continue roasting until an internal thermometer reads 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for rare, or 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare. This usually takes about 13-15 minutes per pound.
- Remove the roast from the oven. Tent it loosely with foil. Let the roast rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. The internal temperature will rise during resting.
- Slice and serve your masterpiece.
Notes
- For easy cleanup, line your roasting pan with foil before you start.
- If you are serving a larger crowd, adjust resting time accordingly.
- Use a reliable meat thermometer; this is your most important tool for perfect results.
