Ingredients
- 4 lbs prime rib roast (bone-in)
- 6 cloves garlic cloves
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme (finely chopped)
- 2 tsp salt
- 1.5 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Step 2
Let the prime rib roast sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mash together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create a garlic-herb butter paste.
Step 4
Rub the entire surface of the prime rib roast with olive oil, then evenly coat it with the garlic-herb butter paste, pressing it into the meat using your hands for full coverage.
Step 5
Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan, bone-side down.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for 20 minutes to create a crispy crust.
Step 7
Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for approximately 90-100 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Step 8
Remove the roast from the oven, tent it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. The internal temperature will continue to rise by about 5-10°F during resting.
Step 9
Carve the prime rib into slices and serve immediately, paired with your favorite side dishes.
