Behold the Prime Rib Roast
Just look at this hunk of meat heaven!
Ingredients You’ll Need
Before we get to the magic, let’s make sure your kitchen is stocked with these goodies:
- 1 (5-7 pound) prime rib roast, bone-in
- Salt (kosher or sea salt is best)
- Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- Olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
Instructions to Bring the Beef to Life
Now that we have our ingredients, let’s transform this meat into an epic feast!
- First, preheat your oven to 450°F (that’s about the temperature you’ll feel after a few too many glasses of eggnog).
- While the oven is heating, let your prime rib sit outside the fridge for about 1 hour. Let it come to room temperature; we want happy meat!
- Pat the roast dry. Rub it down with a generous amount of olive oil, then season it with salt and pepper. Make sure to massage it like you’re giving a spa day to your favorite pet; it’ll thank you for it!
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme. Spread this herbaceous goodness all over your seasoned meat. Rub it like you mean it!
- Place the roast bone-side down on a roasting pan. Pop it in the oven at the hot 450°F for 20 minutes. This is the moment when your kitchen starts to smell like pure magic.
- After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and continue cooking for about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on how you like your meat. Use a meat thermometer to check that your internal temperature reaches about 130°F for medium-rare perfection. Feel free to dawdle a bit, but avoid letting those numbers drop!
- Once done, let it rest outside the oven for about 20-30 minutes. I know, I know. It’s hard to wait, but trust me—it’s worth it. While it rests, prepare the beef broth to make a fabulous au jus!
- Slice, serve, and watch your guests bow down to the glorious prime rib royalty you’ve just created. Bravo!
And there you have it! A prime rib roast that will have everyone coming back for seconds (or thirds). Just make sure you have enough leftovers to last until Thanksgiving!
