Ingredients

  • 1 (5-pound) prime rib roast
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the prime rib roast on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up.
  4. Rub the herb and spice mixture all over the roast, making sure to coat it evenly.
  5. Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast the prime rib for 15 minutes.
  6. After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue to roast for about 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
  7. Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the prime rib from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
  8. Carve the prime rib into thick slices and serve with your favorite sides.

Interesting Facts

  • The term 'prime' in prime rib refers to the USDA grade of beef, indicating its high quality and tenderness.
  • Roasting the prime rib at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes helps to develop a flavorful crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Resting the prime rib after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy meat.
