Description
A succulent prime rib roast infused with herbs and garlic, perfect for festive occasions and family gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 prime rib roast (about 5-7 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme to create a seasoning rub.
- Generously rub this mixture all over the prime rib roast, ensuring it’s well coated.
- Place the roast bone-side down in a roasting pan to stabilize it during cooking.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to develop a lovely crust.
- After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for about 90 to 120 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (use a meat thermometer for best results: 130°F for medium-rare).
- Once done, remove the roast from the oven, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 20-30 minutes to help the juices redistribute.
- Meanwhile, prepare a delicious gravy by adding beef broth to the pan drippings and letting it simmer on the stove.
- Finally, slice the roast and serve it alongside the rich gravy.
Notes
Let the prime rib come to room temperature before roasting for even cooking. Feel free to customize the seasoning rub with your favorite spices or herbs.
