Perfect Prime Rib Roast

 Perfect Prime Rib Roast (Foolproof)

A show-stopping roast with a crispy, seasoned crust and a juicy, rosy-pink center. Perfect for holidays and special dinners.

 Ingredients

• 1 prime rib roast (6–8 lb / 3–4 kg)
• 3 tbsp melted butter
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp coarse salt
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp dried rosemary
• 1 tbsp dried thyme

 Instructions

1. Bring to room temp: Remove the roast from the fridge and let it sit out for 1 hour.
2. Make the rub: Mix butter, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
3. Season: Rub the mixture all over the roast on every side.
4. Rack it: Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan (for even air flow).

 Roasting

1. Preheat oven to 465°F (240°C).
2. Roast for 20 minutes to form a deep crust.
3. Reduce heat to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting:
   • About 15 minutes per 1 lb (500 g) for medium-rare.
4. Best method: use a meat thermometer.
   • 125–130°F (52–54°C) = perfect medium-rare

 Rest (very important)

Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and rest 30 minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices inside.

 Serving

Slice thick and serve with:

• Roasted potatoes
• Mushroom or peppercorn sauce
• Roasted vegetables

Result: Tender, juicy beef with a flavorful crust and beautiful pink center.
