- 3 tablespoons Kosher salt to taste
- 3 tablespoons Cracked pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil to help everything stick
- 4 cloves Garlic fresh, crushed if possible
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary for flavor
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme for flavor
Optional Seasonings

Instructions
Preparation
- Take the prime rib roast out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for at least an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F.
- Pat the roast dry and rub it all over with olive oil, kosher salt, cracked pepper, crushed garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
Cooking
- Roast the prime rib at 450°F for 20 minutes to develop a crust.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 120°F for medium rare.
- Remove from the oven and tent with foil. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving.
- Slice against the grain into thick slices, and reserve the bones for additional flavor.
Notes
For sides, consider roasted potatoes, garlicky green beans, or a light salad. Pair with horseradish cream or red wine au jus for a great finish.
