🥘Ingredients

For the Prime Rib

2.5 kg bone-in prime rib roast
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp dried rosemary
2 tsp dried thyme

For the Roasting

2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter, softened

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 500°F 260°C.
2Place the roast, fat side up, in a roasting pan.
3Season the prime rib generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme.
4Rub the seasoning into the meat using your hands.
5Drizzle the olive oil over the roast and rub it in.
6Add the softened butter to the top of the roast and spread it evenly.
7Place the roasting pan in the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
8This will give the roast a nice sear and develop the flavors.
9Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F 163°C.
10Continue roasting the prime rib for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F 57°C.
11Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature in the thickest part of the roast.
12If you prefer your prime rib more well-done, cook it to an internal temperature of 145°F 63°C for medium.
13If you prefer it rare, cook it to an internal temperature of 125°F 52°C.
14If you prefer it well-done, cook it to an internal temperature of 155°F 68°C.
15Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving.
16This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicier, more flavorful roast.
