This prime rib is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Slow-roasted with a garlic-herb crust, it makes a show-stopping centerpiece for holiday dinners, special occasions, or family gatherings.
Pat prime rib dry. Mix garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Rub mixture all over the roast.
Roast Prime Rib:
Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up. Roast for 15 minutes at 450°F, then reduce temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 130°F–135°F for medium-rare.
Rest:
Remove roast from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 20–25 minutes before slicing.
Serve:
Slice between the bones for bone-in presentation and serve with your favorite sides and au jus or horseradish sauce.
