Print Recipe

A juicy, tender prime rib roast infused with a garlic herb rub and slow-roasted to perfection, ideal for special occasions or comforting family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 lbs bone-in prime rib roast (1.8–2.3 kg), well-marbled
  • 6–8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)

Instructions

  1. Remove the prime rib from the fridge at least 1 hour before cooking to bring to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard if using. Stir until a thick paste forms.
  3. Rub the garlic herb mixture all over the prime rib, covering every inch. Let rest for 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
  4. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  5. Place the prime rib fat side up on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan. Roast at 450°F for 15 minutes to brown the outside.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Continue roasting for about 13-15 minutes per pound (29-33 minutes per kg) until internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium rare. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  7. Remove roast from oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for at least 20 minutes.
  8. Slice against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve.

Notes

Bring meat to room temperature before cooking for even doneness. Use a meat thermometer to avoid guesswork. Rest the roast for at least 20 minutes before slicing to retain juices. Rub can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated. Adjust cooking time based on roast size. For a twist, try reverse searing or different herbs.
