You can do a bone in or bone out, I did bone OUT just for this one because I have a AWESOME video up on my Facebook page showing exactly all the steps on how to make this beauty and its easier to cut (for the videos sake 🙂 ) BUT feel free to use either!!

The seasonings are SPOT ON to create a perfect juicy, but crispy crust!

 One of the BEST things about this roast is that there is usually something for everyone- The ends are well done for those who don’t like theirs pink & the center should be a nice and pink for those of us who must have our beef on the rarer -side 😉

  • Save

Some don’t like the fat (i LOVE it) plus, the ‘fat’ is what gives the roast its incredible flavor & helps KEEP it juicy and tender.

1.Prime rib IS very expensive

2. you are paying good money for that fat, so just leave it on!

3. Your butcher should have removed any excess fat anyway 🙂

The most important piece of advice I can give you regarding cooking this prime rib is to use a good quality meat thermometer!

That way you can tell exactly what the temperature of the meat is and make sure its PERFECT for your personal taste.

Ingredients
  

  • 7-10 pound prime rib roast
  • 10 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons melted butter

Instructions

  • Make sure roast is at room temp before cooking
  • Preheat oven to 500F
  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl until well blended, set aside
  • Place the room temp roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up
  • Spread the mixture evenly over the roast

see cooking time note below 🙂

    [[[[The cooking time will vary depending on the EXACT size roast you get. To calculate the cooking time, multiply the exact weight of the roast by FIVE. Round the resulting number to the nearest whole number. The rib is cooked at 500F for exactly that many minutes.

    • For example, for a 6 pound roast: 6x5=30, so cooking time is 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and wait 2 hours before opening the oven door]]]

      I love using my rotisserie in my toaster oven, could this be cooked in there. I did a Prime Roast once a long time ago, I dont remember how I did it.

      Hello,
      Maybe a dumb question, but I am cooking two 5 to 6 pound roasts at the same time. Do I calculate the time for a 5 pound roast or 10 pound roast? Thank you

      I made this for Christmas Eve dinner using a small end 10# Prime Rib roast. I had the butcher remove the ribs and tie them on so it would roast on top of the ribs to add flavor. The seasoning was perfect. I have a newer oven so not sure if that was the problem but, I roasted the meat for 55 min (thinking more people like medium rare to medium) and it was perfect for my family of 8. My husband & I have 2 slices leftover for our rerun dinner. I also made popovers, loaded mashed potatoes and Arkansas green beans. Received lots of compliments. Thank you!

      This way of cooking any roast is great comes out tender and cooked just right. My daughter in law cooks a bottom roun or rump roast the same way and it is awesome, rare n tender..

      What temperature should the meat be for medium-rare? I followed the recipe exactly for a 6.32 lb bone-in roast. I was hoping it would come out looking like the nicely browned roast shown in the last picture before the printed recipe, but it came out charred and blackened on the outside and a little too rare for me on the inside. I didn’t use a thermometer. Made it for Christmas dinner yesterday and everyone did like it. Also, is there a particular brand of thermometer you recommend? I generally don’t use them. And is the dried thyme leaf or ground? I used ground and the flavor was a little overpowering.

      I’ve used this method previously and had fantastic results. This time I have two 5lb roasts – can I cook both at the same time, using the same method? If so would my initial cook time while at 500* be based of of a 5lb roast or a 10lb roast?

      I followed the recipe to the letter and the meat was great. I had one problem with smoke and a greasy film inside the oven and on the pan. Any idea of what I did wrong?

        YES!

        Actually a gas oven is better than electric, as the combustion process actually creates moisture. Electric ovens tend to be a drier heat.

        We cook in a gas oven on convection and it comes out perfectly. Just remember to use a meat thermometer and pull it out when internal temps hit 130F-135F for medium rare.

        I’m guessing you go with the time for just one roast. The idea is to get the inside done enough, which is why you go longer for bigger roasts.

        NO!!!! You want the heat to directly impact the surface to get a good sear.

      This is my go-to rib roast recipe. I balk at paying the markup for prime, so I generally buy what’s on sale (select or choice). And that’s almost always bone in. It still comes out AMAZING!!!

      I prefer the bone-in because the meat on the rib bones is my favorite. I just cut the bones off prior to slicing the rest.

      And, just FYI, the two hour time is a suggestion, temperature is an absolute. That is why you need to use a meat thermometer. I pull mine when the internal temperature hits 130F-135F. That is a perfect medium rare.
