Perfect Roasted Prime Rib 🥩🔥

A show-stopping centerpiece—juicy, tender prime rib with a flavorful crust and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Ingredients

• 1 bone-in prime rib roast (6–8 pounds)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Garlic cloves (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions

1. Prep the Roast: Remove prime rib from fridge 1 hour before cooking. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
2. Season Generously: Place roast on rack in roasting pan. Rub with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Optionally, insert garlic cloves into small slits.
3. Initial High-Heat Roast: Roast at 500°F for 15 minutes to form crust.
4. Lower Heat & Finish: Reduce oven to 325°F (160°C). Roast until desired doneness:
   • Medium-rare: 135°F (57°C)
   • Medium: 140°F (60°C)
   • Well-done: 150°F (66°C)
   Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
5. Rest the Roast: Remove from oven, tent with foil, and rest 15–20 minutes.
6. Serve: Slice and serve warm with sides like roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or horseradish sauce.

Tips

• Extra flavor: Rub with fresh rosemary or thyme before roasting.
• Juiciness: Always rest the meat before slicing to keep juices inside.
• Presentation: Serve on a wooden board with sprigs of herbs for a festive look.
