Ingredients
-
1 (4–6 lb) prime rib roast, bone-in or boneless
-
4 tablespoons olive oil
-
6 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
-
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
-
1 tablespoon coarse salt
-
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 cup beef broth or water (for roasting pan)
-
Optional: fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
-
Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator at least 1 hour before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature. Pat it dry with paper towels.
-
In a small bowl, combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika to make a paste.
-
Rub the herb and garlic mixture all over the prime rib, including the sides and exposed bones if bone-in.
-
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
-
Place a wire rack inside a roasting pan and add 1 cup of beef broth or water to the bottom. Place the roast fat side up on the rack.
-
Roast in the oven at 450°F for 15 minutes to create a crust.
-
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 120–125°F for rare, 130–135°F for medium-rare, 140–145°F for medium, or 150–155°F for medium-well.
-
Remove the roast from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Rest for 20–30 minutes.
-
Carve against the grain into thick slices and serve with pan drippings, roasted vegetables, or favorite sides. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.
