Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 4–6 pound prime rib roast (well-marbled)

Seasoning

  • 6–8 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Roast: Take your prime rib roast out of the fridge at least one hour before cooking to reach room temperature for even cooking. Meanwhile, combine minced garlic, olive oil, fresh rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper to form a fragrant paste.
  2. Seasoning Thoroughly: Pat the roast dry using paper towels. Generously rub the garlic-herb mixture all over the roast surface, ensuring every inch is covered. For an even deeper garlic flavor, gently loosen the fat cap and work some paste underneath.
  3. Preheating and Roasting: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Position the roast bone-side down (or fat side up) on a roasting rack inside a pan. Roast for 15 minutes to develop a flavorful crust, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 120°F for rare or 130°F for medium-rare, using a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  4. Resting the Meat: Remove the roast from the oven, tent it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in maximum juiciness.
  5. Carving and Serving: Using a sharp carving knife, slice the prime rib into thick, even cuts across the grain. Serve immediately with your choice of sides and garnishes for a memorable presentation.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness each time.
  • Patting the roast dry before seasoning helps the garlic crust stick and encourages better browning.
  • Allow the roast to rest well to retain its juiciness and tenderness.
  • Choose a well-marbled prime rib roast for superior flavor and tenderness.
  • Keep the roast uncovered initially to develop a golden, crisp garlic crust.
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes plus 1 hour resting at room temperature
  • Cook Time: Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours (depending on roast size and desired doneness)
