Perfect Medium Rare Oven Roasted Prime Rib

Ingredients

• butter (enough to smear over entire roast)
• sea salt ( to taste)
• black pepper
• 3 tablespoons garlic clove
• 4 pound boneless ribeye roast (at room temperature)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F.

2. 2

   Rub butter all over roast and season meat with salt, black pepper, and garlic.

3. 3

   Place roast, fat-side up, in a roasting pan.

4. 4

   Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 325 degrees F and continue cooking until roast is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, approximately 60 minutes. Time will really depend on size and thickness of the ribeye.

5. 5

   An instant-read thermometer is a must. When inserted into the center of the roast, it should read 130-135°F for medium-rare.

6. 6

   When thermometer registers 130-135°F, remove it from the oven

7. 7

   Transfer roast to cutting board; loosely tent with foil and let rest 15 minutes. Slice roast across the grain
