Print Recipe

Create an elegant and flavorful Prime Rib Roast coated in a rich garlic and herb butter. This recipe brings that special Sunday feeling to your table, perfect for your next celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Prime Rib Roast (about 4-5 lbs)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Let the roast sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours before cooking.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the herb butter.
  3. Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels. Rub the entire surface of the roast evenly with olive oil.
  4. Generously spread the garlic herb butter mixture all over the prime rib roast.
  5. Place the roast, fat side up, in a roasting pan.
  6. Roast at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes.
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Continue roasting until an internal thermometer reads 125 degrees F for rare, 135 degrees F for medium-rare. (Estimate about 13-15 minutes per pound at this lower temperature).
  8. Remove the roast from the oven. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing. Resting is key for juiciness.
  9. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use high-quality fresh herbs for the best flavor.
  • The resting period allows the juices to redistribute, making your roast tender.
  • If you prefer a crustier exterior, you can briefly place the roast under the broiler for the last few minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
