Perfect Prime Rib Roast
Ingredients
1 (4-5 lb) bone-in prime rib roast
3 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
Directions
Prepare the roast: Let the prime rib sit at room temperature for about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
Make the rub: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Rub this mixture generously all over the roast.
Sear in the oven: Place the roast bone-side down in a roasting pan. Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes to create a flavorful crust.
Lower the heat: Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and cook until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, about 1.5-2 hours. Use a meat thermometer to check.
Rest the meat: Remove from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes; this helps retain the juices and finishes the cooking process.
Carve and serve: Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides!
