Step-by-Step Instructions for Ultimate Prime Rib Roast
- Remove the prime rib roast from the fridge and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
- If it isn't already tied, use kitchen twine to tie it firmly at even intervals.
- In a mixing bowl, combine kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme with a generous drizzle of olive oil to form a thick paste.
- Apply the herb mixture generously all over the surface of the roast.
- Cover the seasoned roast with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight or leave at room temperature for about 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Place the prime rib bone-side down on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan and roast for 20 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 130°F.
- Remove the prime rib from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil, letting it rest for 20 to 45 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine pan drippings with low-sodium beef broth and a splash of dry red wine, bring to simmer, and whisk in unsalted butter.
- Slice the rested prime rib into thick portions and serve drizzled with au jus.

Notes
For best results, always use a meat thermometer and allow the roast to rest after cooking to ensure juiciness.
