Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Season the Roast
In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried rosemary, and dried thyme. Rub the prime rib roast all over with olive oil, then generously apply the seasoning mixture to the roast, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Let it Rest
Allow the seasoned prime rib to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour before cooking. This helps the meat cook more evenly.
Cooking
Roast the Prime Rib
Place the seasoned prime rib in a roasting pan, bone side down. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to develop a nice crust.
Lower the Temperature
After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for about 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Rest the Meat
Once the prime rib reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes before carving.
Serving
Carve and Serve
Carve the prime rib into thick slices and serve with your choice of sides or au jus made from the drippings.
