Best Cook’s Prime Rib Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 (6 to 8 pounds) prime rib roast
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your roaster oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a paste.
3. Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels and generously rub the garlic-herb paste all over the roast.
4. Place the roast on a rack inside the roaster oven, fat side up.
5. Cover the roaster oven and cook the prime rib for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare doneness.
6. Check the internal temperature of the roast using a meat thermometer. It should register 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
7. Once desired doneness is reached, remove the roast from the roaster oven, tent it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8. Slice the prime rib roast and serve hot.
