Description

A show-stopping centerpiece of perfectly roasted prime rib — tender, juicy, and seasoned with herbs and garlic for ultimate flavor. This classic standing rib roast is ideal for holiday dinners or special occasions, delivering rich, savory flavors and a beautiful crust.

Ingredients

Beef Roast

  • 1 standing rib roast (4–5 lb)

Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp thyme
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Roast: Remove the standing rib roast from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for 1 hour. This step ensures even cooking throughout the meat.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (230°C) to get it hot and ready for the initial searing phase.
  3. Season the Meat: Rub the entire roast with olive oil. Then evenly coat it with the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper, making sure the seasoning penetrates the meat surface for maximum flavor.
  4. Roast High Heat: Place the roast in the preheated oven and cook at 450°F for 15 minutes. This high temperature creates a flavorful crust on the outside.
  5. Reduce Heat and Continue Cooking: Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting the meat for 1½ to 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reads 130°F for medium-rare doneness.
  6. Rest the Meat: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender slice.
  7. Slice and Serve: After resting, carve the roast into desired portions and serve immediately. Consider pairing it with au jus or horseradish cream for an enhanced dining experience.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness and avoid overcooking.
  • Resting the roast before slicing is critical for juicy meat.
  • Serve with au jus or horseradish cream for traditional flavor enhancements.
  • Letting the roast come to room temperature prior to cooking promotes even roasting.
