Ingredients

Scale

1 (5 lb) bone-in Prime Rib Roast
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Black Pepper
8 cloves Fresh Garlic, whole
3 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
2 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels; rub olive oil all over it.
Generously season with salt and pepper.
Place whole garlic cloves around the roast along with chopped rosemary and thyme.
Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 20 minutes to develop a crust.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) without opening the door; continue roasting until medium-rare (about 15-20 minutes per pound).
Once cooked, let the prime rib rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing against the grain.
