Ultimate Garlic-Herb Prime Rib Roast
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Set the prime rib in a roasting pan with the fat-side facing up.

  3. 3

    Process olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary in a food processor, then pour the mixture over the roast. Let it stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer registers at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium doneness, about 60 to 75 minutes more. Let it rest briefly before serving.
