Herb Crust
Prime Rib
Method
Preparation of Herb Crust
- 1
Mix the Herb Crust
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, and minced garlic. Pour in the olive oil and mix until a paste forms. Add salt and black pepper, then stir to combine well.
Preparing the Prime Rib
- 2
Season the Prime Rib
Take the bone-in prime rib roast and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the herb crust mixture all over the surface of the roast, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Roasting the Prime Rib

Initial High-Temperature Roast
Place the seasoned prime rib roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to develop a crust.
- 5
Lower the Temperature
After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F/54°C for medium-rare).

Resting and Serving

Rest the Meat
Once cooked to your preferred doneness, remove the roast from the oven. Tent it with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
- 8
Slice and Serve
Slice the prime rib into desired thickness and serve with the pan juices or gravy made from the drippings.
