Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (5-7 lb) beef roast (prime rib)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C). This initial high temperature will help sear the roast, locking in its juices and flavor. - Prepare the Herb Mixture
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a fragrant herb paste. - Season the Beef Roast
Rub the herb mixture generously all over the beef roast, ensuring it’s evenly coated. This will form a flavorful crust as the roast cooks. - Place the Roast in the Oven
Position the seasoned roast in a roasting pan, bone side down. Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes to develop a crust. - Adjust the Oven Temperature
After the initial 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Continue cooking the roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, which should take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. - Rest the Roast
Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and juicy prime rib. - Slice and Serve
After resting, slice the prime rib into thick, juicy pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy the rich flavors of garlic and herbs with each bite.
