A show-stopping prime rib roast recipe with garlic and rosemary, perfect for holiday gatherings or special occasions. Juicy, tender, and full of flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 pound bone-in prime rib roast
  • Fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • Fresh rosemary, chopped finely
  • Fresh thyme, optional
  • Olive oil
  • Coarse salt (Kosher salt recommended)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Unsalted butter, optional

Instructions

  1. Remove the prime rib from the fridge 2-3 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat it dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a paste-like consistency.
  3. Rub the garlic-herb mixture generously over the entire surface of the meat, ensuring it gets into all the nooks and crannies.
  4. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and position the rack in the lower third.
  5. Place the prime rib on a rack in your roasting pan, fat side up. Roast for 20 minutes at 450°F to develop a golden crust.
  6. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (120°F/49°C for rare, 130°F/54°C for medium-rare).
  7. Remove the roast from the oven and tent with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  8. Slice the roast against the grain into thick slabs. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let the roast rest for 20-30 minutes after cooking to keep the juices locked inside. Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
