Ingredients
  

  • 1 5 pound bone-in beef prime rib roast
  • 3 tablespoons steak seasoning like Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Remove your prime rib from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for 2 hours before roasting.
  2. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Position a rack in the lower third of the oven.
  3. In a small bowl, combine steak seasoning, minced garlic, olive oil, herbs (if using), salt, and pepper to create a paste.
  4. Pat the roast dry with paper towels.
  5. Rub the seasoning paste all over the roast, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Place the roast bone-side down (fat-side up) on the rack in your roasting pan.
  7. Insert your meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding contact with bone.
  8. Roast at 450°F for 15 minutes to develop a flavorful crust.
  9. Without opening the oven, reduce temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
  10. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
  11. Carve by slicing along the rib bones to separate them from the roast, then slice the meat to your desired thickness.
