Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Roast
Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour before cooking. This helps the meat cook more evenly.
- 2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- 3
Season the Meat
In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and olive oil. Rub this mixture all over the prime rib roast, ensuring it is well coated.
- 4
Roast the Prime Rib
Place the prime rib in a roasting pan, bone side down. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue to roast for about 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
- 5
Rest the Meat
Once cooked, remove the prime rib from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- 6
Make the Gravy
While the meat is resting, pour the beef broth into the roasting pan to deglaze it, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. You can strain it if desired, or serve it as is.
- 7
Serve
Slice the prime rib and serve with the gravy on the side.
