Method
Preparation
- 1
Season the Roast
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chopped fresh rosemary, and thyme. Rub the mixture all over the prime rib roast, ensuring an even coating.
- 2
Let it Rest
Allow the seasoned prime rib to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour before cooking. This helps in even cooking.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- 4
Sear the Roast
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the prime rib roast, searing it on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).
- 5
Roasting
Once seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 15 minutes at 450°F, then reduce the temperature to 325°F (163°C). Continue roasting for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium rare.
- 6
Add Broth
About 30 minutes before the roast is done, pour the beef broth into the skillet. This will help keep the roast moist and create a flavorful base for gravy.
- 7
Rest the Roast
Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Slice and Serve
After resting, slice the prime rib against the grain into thick slices and serve with the pan juices or your favorite sauce.
