prime rib roast recipe

This prime rib roast recipe features a perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy cut of beef that is ideal for special occasions and holiday dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (5-pound) prime rib roast, bone-in
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup beef broth (optional, for au jus)

Instructions

  1. Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 1 hour.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and onion powder to create a seasoning paste.
  4. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the prime rib roast, covering all sides.
  5. Place the roast bone-side down in a roasting pan fitted with a rack.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to sear the outside.
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
  8. Remove the roast from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
  9. Optional: Use pan drippings with beef broth to make a simple au jus sauce.
  10. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

For best results, use a meat thermometer to monitor internal temperature and rest the roast before carving to retain juices.
