Ingredients

• 5 pounds Prime rib roast (bone-in or boneless)
• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. This helps it cook more evenly.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme.

Step 4

Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels, then drizzle the olive oil evenly over the entire surface of the roast.

Step 5

Rub the salt and herb mixture generously over the entire prime rib, making sure to coat all sides for maximum flavor.

Step 6

Place the prime rib on a rack in a roasting pan, fat-side up. If you’re using a bone-in roast, ensure the bones act as a natural rack.

Step 7

Roast the prime rib in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to create a flavorful crust.

Step 8

After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness: 120°F (49°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or 140°F (60°C) for medium. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check the temperature; this will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes per pound.

Step 9

Once the prime rib reaches your preferred temperature, remove it from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes. The internal temperature will continue to rise about 5°F as it rests.

Step 10

Slice the prime rib into thick cuts and serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or au jus. Enjoy!
