Ingredients

• 5 pounds Prime rib roast (bone-in)
• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator at least 2 hours before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, and softened butter until well combined.

Step 4

Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels, then rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire surface of the roast.

Step 5

Place the roast bone-side down in a large roasting pan with a rack. This allows for better airflow and even cooking.

Step 6

Roast the prime rib at 450°F (232°C) for 25 minutes to form a flavorful crust.

Step 7

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness: 120°F (49°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or 140°F (60°C) for medium. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature in the thickest part of the roast.

Step 8

Once the roast reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the oven, tent it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Slice the roast against the grain into thick slices and serve immediately.
