Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 2 hours
Serves: 8

Ingredients

1 prime rib roast (5 pounds)

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp kosher salt

1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

1/4 cup horseradish

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup beef broth

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F.

2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and horseradish to form a paste.

3. Rub the herb paste generously over the entire surface of the prime rib.

4. Let the roast sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

5. Place the roast in a roasting pan with the rib side down.

6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

7. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and continue roasting for approximately 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.

8. Remove the roast from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

9. While the roast rests, add beef broth to the roasting pan and simmer over medium heat to create a simple au jus.

10. Slice the prime rib and serve with au jus on the side.

Storage

Store any leftover prime rib in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating

For best results, reheat the prime rib in the oven at 300°F until just warmed through to preserve its juiciness.
