🥩 Pepper Parm Prime Rib

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the Roast:
   Take the roast out of the fridge at least 1 hour before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
   Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Make the Crust:
   In a small bowl, mix olive oil, black pepper, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and salt into a paste.
3. Season:
   Rub the mixture generously all over the roast, pressing it into the surface to form a crust.
4. Roast:
   • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
   • Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up.
   • Roast for 20 minutes at 450°F, then reduce the temperature to 325°F (165°C).
   • Continue roasting for about 15 minutes per pound, or until internal temp reaches:
     • 125°F (52°C) for rare
     • 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare
     • 145°F (63°C) for medium
5. Rest:
   Remove from oven and tent with foil. Let it rest for 20–30 minutes before slicing. This keeps it juicy and flavorful.
6. Serve:
   Slice thick or thin, and serve with creamy mashed potatoes, horseradish sauce, roasted garlic, or a crisp salad.
