Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 2 hours
Serves: 8

Ingredients

1 prime rib roast (bone-in, about 5 lbs)

2 tbsp kosher salt

2 tbsp black pepper

4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped

1 cup beef broth

2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and allow the prime rib roast to come to room temperature.

2. In a bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and oregano until well combined.

3. Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels and season generously with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides.

4. Rub the herb butter mixture evenly over the entire surface of the prime rib, ensuring the meat is well-coated.

5. Place the prime rib on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan and drizzle olive oil over the top.

6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for an additional 90 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).

7. Remove the prime rib from the oven and tent with aluminum foil, allowing it to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.

8. Meanwhile, place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat, add beef broth, and scrape up any browned bits to make a quick pan sauce. Serve the sliced prime rib with the sauce.

Storage

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

Reheating

To reheat, place slices in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a 300°F oven until heated through, about 15-20 minutes.
