Roast the Prime Rib
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the seasoned prime rib on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to create a crust. Then reduce the temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, about 1.5-2 hours. Let the roast rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Slice the Prime Rib
Using a sharp knife, slice the prime rib thinly against the grain for the best texture.

Prepare the Garlic
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast for about 30-35 minutes until soft. Let cool, then squeeze out the cloves.

Make the Au Jus
