Ingredients

• 5 pounds Prime rib roast (bone-in)
• 8 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, and softened butter to form a thick paste.

Step 3

Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels. Place it on a roasting pan with a rack, fat-side up.

Step 4

Rub the garlic and herb mixture generously all over the surface of the roast, making sure to coat it evenly.

Step 5

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, making sure it doesn’t touch the bone.

Step 6

Place the roast in the preheated oven and cook at 450°F (232°C) for 20 minutes to develop a flavorful crust.

Step 7

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the thermometer registers 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the roast’s size.

Step 8

Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the roast from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 20 minutes before carving.

Step 9

Carve the prime rib into thick slices and serve immediately, pairing it with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a horseradish cream sauce.
