Classic Prime Rib Roast (Oven)

Ingredients

• Prime rib roast (bone-in or boneless, 3–6 lbs)

• Salt

• Black pepper

• Garlic powder or fresh minced garlic

• Dried rosemary or thyme

• Olive oil or softened butter

---

Before You Start

• Take the roast out of the fridge 1–2 hours before cooking so it can come closer to room temperature. This helps it cook evenly.

---

Seasoning

1. Pat the roast dry with paper towels.

2. Rub all over with olive oil or butter.

3. Generously season with salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs.

Cooking (Oven Method)

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).

2. Place the roast fat-side up on a rack in a roasting pan.

3. Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes to get a nice crust.

4. Lower the oven to 325°F (165°C) and continue cooking:

   • Rare: ~12–13 minutes per pound

   • Medium-rare: ~14–15 minutes per pound

   • Medium: ~16–17 minutes per pound

(If you have a thermometer, medium-rare is about 130–135°F / 54–57°C.)

---

Resting (Very Important!)

• Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest 20–30 minutes, loosely covered with foil.

• This keeps it juicy and makes slicing easier.

---

Slicing

• Slice against the grain into thick or thin slices, however you like.
