Ingredients

• 6 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Coarse kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 5 pounds Prime rib roast (bone-in or boneless)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined to form the marinade.

Step 2

Place the prime rib roast on a cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, make small slits all over the surface of the roast. This will allow the marinade to penetrate deeper into the meat.

Step 4

Place the roast in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the roast, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.

Step 5

Seal the bag (or cover the dish with plastic wrap) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse into the meat.

Step 6

When ready to cook, remove the roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 8

Transfer the roast to a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Reserve the excess marinade and set it aside.

Step 9

Cook the roast in the preheated oven until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 125°F (52°C) for rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or 145°F (63°C) for medium. This will typically take 2 to 2.5 hours for a 5-pound roast.

Step 10

Baste the roast with the reserved marinade every 30 minutes to enhance flavor and moisture.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Carve the roast into slices and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
