Perfect Roasted Prime Rib: A Classic Holiday Dinner


  • Author: Jessica

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (6-8 pound) bone-in prime rib roast
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels and place it fat-side up on a roasting pan fitted with a wire rack.
  3. In a bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika to form a paste.
  4. Generously rub the butter mixture all over the surface of the roast, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Roast the prime rib at 450°F (230°C) for 20 minutes to develop a flavorful crust.
  6. Reduce the oven temperature to 250°F (120°C) and continue roasting for 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
  7. Remove the roast from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 20 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
  8. Carve into thick slices and serve with your favorite side dishes.
