Description

This Prime Rib Roast recipe brings restaurant-quality flavor to your kitchen with a simple marinade, a slow-roast method, and juicy, melt-in-your-mouth beef perfect for holidays or special gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 medium onion, sliced (per pound of roast)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (per pound)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (per pound)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic (per pound)
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary (per pound)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (per pound)
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil (per pound)


Instructions

  1. Rinse, pat dry, and marinate the roast overnight with seasoning and herbs.
  2. Bring to room temp 2 hours before roasting.
  3. Preheat oven to 450°F. Roast for 30 minutes, add 1/2 cup water, rotate roast, and roast another 30 minutes.
  4. Reduce oven to 350°F. Continue roasting 90–120 minutes (about 15 min per pound), basting every 30 minutes. Pull roast at 120–125°F internal temp for medium rare.
  5. Rest for 20 minutes tented with foil. Slice and serve with strained au jus.

Notes

For best results, use a meat thermometer and allow roast to rest before carving. Adjust roasting time for smaller or boneless cuts. Leftovers make great sandwiches!
