Create a stunning Garlic Herb Prime Rib Roast perfect for your next special gathering. This recipe brings together simple, savory flavors for a centerpiece your guests will adore.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (5-7 pound) prime rib roast, bone-in or boneless
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Take the prime rib out of the refrigerator 2-3 hours before roasting. Let it come closer to room temperature.
  2. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a fragrant paste.
  4. Pat the roast dry thoroughly with paper towels. This helps create a nice crust.
  5. Rub the entire surface of the prime rib evenly with the garlic herb butter mixture.
  6. Place the roast, fat side up, in a roasting pan. Drizzle the olive oil over the top.
  7. Roast at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes.
  8. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer): 120-125 degrees F for rare, 130-135 degrees F for medium-rare. This usually takes about 13-15 minutes per pound after the initial high-heat blast.
  9. Remove the roast from the oven when it is 5-10 degrees below your final target temperature.
  10. Tent the roast loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing. The temperature will continue to rise while resting.
  11. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Always use a meat thermometer for the most accurate results with prime rib.
  • Resting the meat is crucial; do not skip this step for a juicy roast.
  • If you prefer a crispier exterior, you can briefly increase the oven temperature to 500 degrees F for the last 5 minutes of cooking, watching carefully.
