This prime rib roast recipe delivers a tender, juicy, and flavorful centerpiece perfect for special occasions or holiday dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 prime rib roast (5-6 pounds)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a herb paste.
  3. Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels and rub the herb paste evenly over the entire surface of the meat.
  4. Place the roast fat side up on a roasting rack inside a shallow roasting pan.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to develop a crust.
  6. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (about 1.5 to 2 hours for medium-rare, internal temp 130-135°F or 54-57°C).
  7. Remove the roast from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes.
  8. Optional: While the roast rests, make a pan sauce by placing the roasting pan over medium heat, adding beef broth and Dijon mustard, scraping up browned bits, and simmering until slightly reduced.
  9. Slice the roast and serve with the pan sauce if desired.

Notes

For an extra flavorful crust, season the roast the night before and let it rest uncovered in the refrigerator.
