Ingredients

• 6 pounds Prime rib roast (bone-in, about 4-5 ribs)
• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup Port wine
• 1 cup Beef stock
• 2 Thyme sprigs
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

Place the prime rib on a rack set over a roasting pan, fat-side up.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, and olive oil to make a paste.

Step 4

Rub the paste generously all over the prime rib, ensuring an even coating.

Step 5

Place the roast in the oven and cook for 20 minutes to create a flavorful crust.

Step 6

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for about 1.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check.

Step 7

Remove the prime rib from the oven, tent it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

While the roast rests, make the port sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 9

Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Pour in the port wine and beef stock, then add the thyme sprigs.

Step 11

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until reduced by half.

Step 12

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry.

Step 13

Gradually stir the slurry into the sauce to thicken it. Cook for another 2-3 minutes while stirring, then remove the thyme sprigs.

Step 14

Slice the prime rib into thick slices and serve with the warm port sauce drizzled over the top or on the side.
