How to make Best Prime Rib
Ingredients :
– 1 (5-pound) prime rib roast, bone-in
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
– 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
– 2 teaspoons salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions :
1. Firstly, preheat your oven to a temperature of 450°F (230°C).
2. Take a small bowl. In it, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to form a paste.
3. Apply this mixture all over the prime rib.
4. Now place the seasoned prime rib on a rack in a roasting pan, with the bones down.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
6. After this, reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue to roast until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness (preferably 1 hour 10 minutes for medium-rare).
7. Once it’s done, remove it from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 15-20 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
8. When ready to serve, carve the prime rib between the bones.
