Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Prime Rib

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Rub the prime rib roast with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Add Herbs

    Chop the fresh rosemary and thyme, then press them into the surface of the roast.

  3. 3

    Roasting the Meat

    Place the seasoned roast in a roasting pan with the bone-side down. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Lower the Temperature

    After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for about 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium, 145°F for medium-well).

  5. 5

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.

  6. 6

    Make the Au Jus

    While the meat is resting, pour the beef broth into the roasting pan to deglaze it, scraping up any browned bits. Add butter and simmer on low heat.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the prime rib to your desired thickness and serve with the au jus on the side.
