Ingredients

• 5 pounds prime rib roast
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Remove the prime rib roast from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 1 hour.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the garlic herb butter.

Step 4

Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels. Rub the entire surface of the roast with olive oil.

Step 5

Spread the garlic herb butter evenly over the entire roast, ensuring all sides are well coated.

Step 6

Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up.

Step 7

Bake the roast in the preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for 20 minutes to create a flavorful crust. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue cooking 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. This should take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the roast and your desired doneness.

Step 8

Once the roast reaches your desired temperature, remove it from the oven, tent it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes. The internal temperature will continue to rise slightly as it rests.

Step 9

Slice the prime rib into thick cuts and serve with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
