Ingredients
Scale
- 1 prime rib roast (5-6 pounds)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard to form a paste.
- Rub the garlic butter mixture all over the prime rib roast, ensuring to cover it completely.
- Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan and let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (about 1.5 to 2 hours for medium-rare).
- Remove from the oven and let the roast rest for 30 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Notes
- For best flavor, marinate the roast overnight with the garlic butter mixture.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the roast.
- Allowing the roast to rest is crucial for retaining juices.
