Perfect prime rib Easy roast recipe Delicious simple

Ingredients

  • Prime Rib Roast (4-7 pound, bone-in)
  • Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper (freshly cracked)
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Dried Thyme
  • Dried Rosemary
  • Beef Broth

Instructions

  • Take the roast out of the refrigerator 2-4 hours before cooking. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
  • Generously coat the entire roast with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
  • Place the roast on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
  • Roast for 5 minutes per pound at 500°F (260°C).
  • Turn off the oven and leave the roast inside with the oven door closed for 2 hours. Do not open the oven door during cooking.
  • After 2 hours, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For rare, aim for 120-125°F (49-52°C). Medium-rare is 130-135°F (54-57°C), medium is 135-140°F (57-60°C), and medium-well is 140-145°F (60-63°C).
  • Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes, tenting loosely with foil. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • While the roast is resting, prepare the au jus. Pour the pan drippings into a fat separator. Skim off the fat and transfer the remaining juices to a saucepan. Add beef broth and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Thicken with a cornstarch slurry if desired.
  • Slice the prime rib roast and serve with au jus.
