How to Make Prime Rib Recipe

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to create an intense crust.
  • Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels. Rub it with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, mix minced garlic with rosemary or thyme and olive oil to form a paste. Massage this over the roast.
  • Place the seasoned prime rib on a rack in a baking pan. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then reduce to 325°F (160°C). Cook until desired doneness - about 15-20 minutes per pound.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice against the grain and serve with horseradish sauce or au jus.

Notes

For best results, season your prime rib a day in advance and consider searing it in a hot skillet before roasting.
