Ingredients
8 pound prime rib roast
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dry minced garlic or 3 fresh garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon dry thyme
1 teaspoon dry rosemary
Instructions
Prime the Roast: Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels and allow it to reach room temperature over 1-2 hours for even cooking.
Trim and Prep: Trim any excess fat if necessary, retaining some for flavor.
Craft the Crust: Mix salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl. Generously rub this mixture all over the roast, ensuring coverage in crevices for flavor.
Sear for Sizzle: Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Place the roast fat-side up on a wire rack in a roasting pan. Sear for 15 minutes to form a golden crust.
Slow Roast: Lower the oven temperature to 250°F (120°C). Continue roasting for about 2-3 hours, or until an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) is reached for medium-rare.
Rest Assured: Remove the roast from the oven and cover loosely with foil. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing. This redistributes the juices, making the meat moist and flavorful.
