Description

This Prime Rib Roast Oven recipe is the ultimate holiday showstopper—tender, juicy beef with a golden herb and garlic crust, all cooked to perfection in your oven. Surprisingly easy, and guaranteed to impress!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole rib eye roast (boneless or bone-in, about 14 lbs)
  • 6 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 4 tbsp tri-color peppercorns (or any peppercorns), crushed
  • 3 sprigs rosemary, leaves stripped
  • 3 sprigs thyme, leaves stripped
  • 1/2 cup kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup minced garlic


Instructions

  1. Let roast sit at room temperature for 30–60 minutes. Preheat oven to 500°F.
  2. Cut the roast in half for more even cooking, if needed. Rub all over with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  3. Mix crushed peppercorns, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, and minced garlic.
  4. Heat a skillet with oil over high heat and sear roast halves on all sides until golden brown.
  5. Pour remaining olive oil over roast and press the herb and salt mixture all over the surface.
  6. Roast in the oven at 500°F for 20–30 minutes. Lower temperature to 300°F and roast until a meat thermometer reads 125°F for rare/medium-rare (30–50 minutes more, depending on size).
  7. Remove from oven and let rest loosely covered for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
  8. Slice across the grain and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

Always use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. Resting the roast before slicing is key to keeping it juicy. Leftovers make amazing sandwiches the next day!
