Ingredients
1 (5–6 lb) prime rib roast
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
1. Mince the garlic and fresh herbs finely. Mix them with Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and olive oil to create a thick herb paste.
2. Pat the prime rib dry and coat it evenly with the herb paste. Let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Roast the meat at this temperature for 20 minutes to create a crust.
4. Lower the oven to 325°F and continue roasting until internal temperature reaches 120°F for rare or 130°F for medium-rare.
5. Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Let the roast come to room temperature before roasting to ensure even cooking.
Always use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
Letting it rest is essential for juicy, tender slices.
