Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roast

    Take the prime rib roast out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

  3. 3

    Season the Roast

    In a small bowl, mix together black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme. Rub the olive oil all over the roast, then generously coat the roast with the seasoning mix.

  4. 4

    Roasting

    Place the seasoned prime rib roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (e.g., 135°F for medium-rare). This can take about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the size of the roast.

  5. 5

    Resting

    Once done, remove the roast from the oven and cover it loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

  6. 6

    Serving

    Slice the prime rib to your desired thickness and serve by the ounce with your choice of two sides.
