A foolproof guide to achieving a succulent, medium-rare Oven Roasted Prime Rib with a savory garlic herb crust.
7-12 lb Prime Rib Roast (bone-in or boneless)
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
2 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp black pepper
1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. Pat the roast dry and apply the garlic herb butter rub.
3. Sear at 450°F for 15-20 minutes.
4. Lower temperature to 325°F (160°C).
5. Roast until internal temperature reaches 130°F.
6. Rest for 30 minutes before carving.
Resting is mandatory for juiciness.
Use a probe thermometer for accuracy.
Bones can be used for beef stock later.
