Garlic Parmesan Crusted Prime Rib Roast

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast
    • Remove the prime rib from the fridge 1–2 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
    • Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Make the Garlic Parmesan Crust
    • In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, Parmesan, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard until it forms a thick paste.
  3. Season the Roast
    • Pat the roast dry with paper towels.
    • Rub the garlic-Parmesan mixture all over the surface of the roast, making sure it sticks well.
  4. Roast the Prime Rib
    • Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up.
    • Roast at 450°F (230°C) for 15–20 minutes to sear the outside.
    • Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting:
      • For rare: 120–125°F (49–52°C) internal temp (~1.5 hours)
      • For medium-rare: 130–135°F (54–57°C) (~1.5–1.75 hours)
      • For medium: 140–145°F (60–63°C) (~2 hours)
    • Use a meat thermometer for perfect results.
  5. Rest the Roast
    • Remove from oven and cover loosely with foil.
    • Rest 15–20 minutes—temperature will rise slightly.
  6. Serve
    • Slice thick and serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple au jus.

💡 Chef’s Tips:

  • If you want an extra-crispy crust, broil the roast for the last 2–3 minutes.
  • Fresh herbs make a big difference, but dried can work in a pinch.
  • Leftovers? Thin slices are amazing on sandwiches with horseradish mayo.

If you like, I can also give you a twist with a cheesy garlic butter drizzle that makes it even more decadent and melts over the slices like magic.

Do you want me to add that version too?
