Ingredients
- 1 (7 pound) bone-in prime rib, trimmed and retied to the bone
- 8 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ounce fresh rosemary, or to taste
- 1 ounce fresh thyme, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Slice several slits into the top of prime rib; push garlic cloves into slits. Coat prime rib with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange rosemary sprigs and thyme sprigs atop prime rib and place in a roasting pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until browned on the outside and pink in the center, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 125 degrees F (52 degrees C). Allow prime rib to rest 15 minutes before slicing.

So easy my grandson who is 5 could do it with me by his side
This was my first prime rib roast I’ve ever made. Kept right with the recipe and turned out great. Made this with my 13yr old granddaughter and entire family loved it.
Loved the flavor! It’s a keeper and will make this every time we have Prime Rib.
It was perfect and easy. I wasn’t sure if it should be covered while cooking; no is the answer to that. I had the shop where I purchased the roast season and remove from the bone for me. Perfectly cooked!
I followed the directions exactly. It didn’t take as long to cook as The recipe calls for, but it was probably the oven and not the recipe. Either way , the taste was amazing. I am definitely keeping this recipe . Be sure you start with a good cut of meat.
It was fantastic!
