Ingredients
- 8 pounds prime rib roast (bone-in, 4 ribs)
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (optional, finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (optional, finely chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Remove the prime rib roast from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 2 hours to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). If your oven doesn't reach 500°F, set it to the highest possible temperature.
Step 3
Pat the roast dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and optional fresh rosemary and thyme, if using.
Step 5
Rub the roast with olive oil, making sure to coat the entire surface evenly.
Step 6
Generously apply the seasoning mixture to the roast, pressing it onto the meat so it adheres well. Ensure you cover all sides, including the edges.
Step 7
Place the roast on a rack inside a roasting pan, fat side up and bones down. The rack ensures even heat circulation.
Step 8
Insert a probe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding any bones to ensure an accurate reading.
Step 9
Roast the prime rib in the preheated oven at 500°F (260°C) for 30 minutes to create a crusty exterior.
Step 10
Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness: 120°F (49°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or 140°F (60°C) for medium. This usually takes about 15 minutes per pound, but monitor closely with the thermometer.
Step 11
Once the roast reaches your preferred doneness, remove it from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 12
Carve the roast between the bones or into thick slices and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
