Ingredients:
1 bone-in prime rib roast (about 6-8 pounds)
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for basting)
1/2 cup beef broth or red wine (for roasting)
Instructions:
Prepare the Prime Rib: Begin by removing the prime rib from the refrigerator and letting it come to room temperature for about 1-2 hours. This helps the roast cook more evenly. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Pat the roast dry with paper towels to remove any moisture, which will help achieve a crisp crust.
Season the Roast: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. If you’re using Dijon mustard, mix it in as well. Rub this mixture generously all over the surface of the prime rib, ensuring it is evenly coated.
