Prime Rib Roast

• In a small bowl, mix olive oil (or butter), minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and onion powder.

• Rub this mixture evenly over the entire roast.

• Preheat to 475°F (245°C).

• Place the roast, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.

• Roast uncovered for 20–25 minutes to form a flavorful crust.

• Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting:

• Medium-rare: 15–16 minutes per pound (internal temp: 130°F / 54°C)

• Medium: 17–18 minutes per pound (internal temp: 140°F / 60°C)

• Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest 20–30 minutes.

• This allows the juices to redistribute.

• Slice against the grain and serve with au jus or horseradish cream.
