Ingredients
- 4-5 pounds bone-in angus prime rib roast
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons ground pepper
- 6 cloves garlic , minced
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Temper the meat: One our before cooking, take meat from the refrigerator. Let it sit out until it comes to room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Preheat: Preheat oven to 500°F.
- Season: In a small bowl, combine 3 Tablespoon olive oil, 1 Tablespoon salt, 2 teaspoons pepper, 6 cloves of garlic, and 1 teaspoon rosemary. Rub all over the prime rib.
- Bake: Place the roast fat side up on a rack inside a roasting pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325°F and continue baking until it reaches the doneness level you desire. This will take approximately 17 minutes per pound for medium rare, and 20 minutes per pound for medium. Use an instant read meat thermometer to read the temperature level. Keep in mind the temperature will raise 5 - 10 degrees while it rests.Medium-Rare - 115 to 120°F (125 to 130°F after resting) often considered ideal for balancing tenderness and flavor.Medium - 125 to 130°F (135 to 140°F after resting)Medium-Well - 140 - 145°F (150°F after resting)
- Rest: Remove roast from oven and loosely cover with foil. Rest for 30 minutes.
- Carve: Slice against the grain into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Add horseradish to serve, if desired.
Notes
When shopping for prime rib, plan on one rib per each two people. Look for a roast with consistent marbling.
Ask the butcher to cut roast from the bones and tie it back with butcher’s twine. This will make slicing and serving the roast much easier.
