Perfect Garlic Prime Rib Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons garlic (, minced)
• 4 leaves sprigs thyme (, torn from stem)
• 2 leaves sprigs rosemary (, torn from stem and minced)
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 7 pound Boneless Prime Rib Roast
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley (, minced)
• 5 cloves garlic (, minced)
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest (, grated)

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix: Add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, canola oil, kosher salt, and black pepper to a small bowl and mix.

2. 2

   Rub all over the prime rib and let rest for 1 hour (to let meat come to room temperature).

3. 3

   Preheat: Heat the oven to 450 degrees.

4. 4

   Place the prime rib, fat cap side up in a roasting pan.

5. 5

   Thermometer: Place your meat thermometer into the side of the roast not touching the bones and as far in as you can place it.

6. 6

   Brown: Cook for 20 minutes at 450 degrees before lowering temperature to 325 degrees.

7. 7

   Cook an additional 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on the size of your roast and your meat thermometer (you're looking for a temperature between 125-130 degrees).

8. 8

   Rest: To cook my almost exactly 7 pound prime rib, I had it in the oven for 1 hour and 40 minutes and let it rest for 20 minutes.

9. 9

   Top: Serve topped with a gremolata.

    Note: To the original recipe I sometimes add a bit of salt, 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes depending on the audience.
