Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This high temperature will help create a nice crust on the prime rib.

  2. 2

    Season the Prime Rib

    In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme. Rub the mixture all over the prime rib, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Prepare for Searing

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the prime rib on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side).

Cooking

  1. 4

    Roast the Prime Rib

    Transfer the seared prime rib to a roasting pan. Add butter on top of the meat for added flavor. Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes.

  2. 5

    Lower the Temperature

    After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (approximately 1.5 to 2 hours for medium-rare, depending on the size).

  3. 6

    Rest the Meat

    Once the prime rib reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy roast.

  4. 7

    Slice and Serve

    After resting, slice the prime rib against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
