Here is a clean, detailed, but still simple recipe for an incredibly juicy, perfectly roasted Prime Rib — the kind that makes you say “WOW” at first sight.
🥩🔥 Show-Stopping Prime Rib Roast
⭐ Ingredients (for 4–6 servings)
- 1 standing rib roast (prime rib), 4–6 lbs
- 3 tbsp olive oil or softened butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp paprika (optional, for color)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the roast
- Bring prime rib to room temperature (about 1–2 hours).
- Pat dry very well with paper towels.
- Mix butter/oil + garlic + salt + pepper + rosemary + thyme + paprika.
- Rub mixture all over the roast, especially on the fat cap.
2. Start with a high-heat sear
- Preheat oven to 230°C / 450°F.
- Place roast bone-side down in a roasting pan.
- Roast 20 minutes to create a golden crust.
3. Lower the heat for perfect tenderness
- Reduce oven to 120°C / 250°F.
- Continue roasting:
- For medium-rare: 2 to 2½ hours
- For medium: 2½ to 3 hours
Or use a thermometer:
- Medium-rare: 52–54°C / 125°F–130°F
- Medium: 58°C / 135°F
4. Rest the meat
Remove from oven and rest 20–30 minutes before slicing.
This keeps it incredibly juicy.
5. Slice & serve
Cut between bones into thick slices.
Serve with:
- Horseradish sauce
- Au jus
- Mashed potatoes
- Roasted vegetables
⭐ Result
Golden, crispy crust.
Blushing pink inside.
Juicy, tender, buttery.
