Best Prime Rib Recipe
Description
The Best Prime Rib Recipe features a well-seasoned 7-pound prime rib roast rubbed with olive oil, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. The cooking begins at a high temperature of 500°F for 15 minutes to develop a flavorful crust. Then, the oven temperature is reduced to 325°F to continue roasting for 10–15 minutes per pound, accommodating the preferred level of doneness. Using a meat thermometer helps achieve precise cooking results.
After roasting, the meat rests covered with foil for 15–20 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute, making the prime rib tender and juicy. Slicing against the grain into half-inch thick slices is recommended. It pairs well with classic sides and is suitable for special meals or gatherings.
