Ingredients

• 5 pounds Prime rib roast
• 1 large (soaked in water for 2 hours) Cedar plank
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh thyme
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Sea salt
• 2 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Horseradish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 2 hours to prevent it from burning during roasting.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, Dijon mustard, and horseradish (if using) to create a seasoning paste.

Step 4

Place the prime rib on a clean surface and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 5

Rub the seasoning paste evenly all over the prime rib, ensuring every surface is well-coated.

Step 6

Remove the cedar plank from the water and pat it dry. Lay it flat on a baking sheet.

Step 7

Place the seasoned prime rib on top of the cedar plank and transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Roast the prime rib at 450°F (232°C) for 20 minutes to create a crusty exterior.

Step 9

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for approximately 90–100 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 120°F (49°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or 140°F (60°C) for medium.

Step 10

Remove the prime rib from the oven and let it rest on the cedar plank for at least 20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 11

Carve the roast into thick slices and serve immediately. Enjoy the smoky and herbaceous flavors!
