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

Ingredients

1 (5-pound) bone-in beef rib roast

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

2 tablespoons kosher salt

1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

2. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and onion powder to form a paste.

3. Rub the paste generously over the entire surface of the rib roast, ensuring even coverage.

4. Place the roast in a roasting pan with the rib side down and the fat side up.

5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to develop a crust.

6. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.

7. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Storage

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

Reheating

To reheat, wrap the leftovers in aluminum foil and place in a 300°F (149°C) oven until warmed through, about 20 minutes.
