PERFECT PRIME RIB EVERY TIME

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Roast

1. Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator 2-3 hours before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
2. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2: Season the Roast

1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper into a paste.
2. Rub the seasoning mixture generously all over the roast, ensuring even coverage on all sides.

Step 3: Roast at High Heat

1. Place the roast in a roasting pan with a rack, fat side up.
2. Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes to create a beautiful crust.

Step 4: Slow Roast

1. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue cooking.
2. Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature:
   • Rare: 120°F (49°C)
   • Medium-rare: 130°F (54°C)
   • Medium: 140°F (60°C)
     Approximate cooking time is 12-14 minutes per pound, but the thermometer is your best guide.

Step 5: Rest the Roast

1. Remove the roast from the oven when it’s 5-10°F below your desired doneness, as it will continue to cook while resting.
2. Tent the roast loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Step 6: Slice and Serve

1. Carve the roast into thick slices and serve with your favorite accompaniments, such as au jus, horseradish sauce, or roasted vegetables.
