Perfect Garlic Prime Rib
The Perfect Garlic Prime Rib features a boneless roast coated in a mix of garlic, thyme, rosemary, kosher salt, and black pepper, then roasted to medium-rare doneness. Topped with a fresh citrus gremolata, the beef offers a deeply savory flavor complemented by bright herbal and lemon notes. The cooking method balances initial high heat for crust development with low heat roast for even cooking.

Ingredients
Prime Rib:
- 3 tablespoons garlic minced
- 4 leaves thyme torn from stem, sprigs
- 2 leaves rosemary torn from stem and minced, sprigs
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 7 pound prime rib roast boneless
Citrus Gremolata
- 1/2 cup parsley minced, fresh
- 5 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon grated, zest
Instructions
- Add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, canola oil, kosher salt, and black pepper to a small bowl and mix.
- Rub all over the prime rib and let rest for an hour (to let meat come to room temperature).
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Place the prime rib, fat cap side up in a roasting pan.
- Place your meat thermometer into the side of the roast not touching the bones and as far in as you can place it.
- Cook for 20 minutes at 450 degrees before lowering temperature to 325 degrees.
- Cook an additional 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on the size of your roast and your meat thermometer (you're looking for a temperature between 125-130 degrees).
- To cook my almost exactly 7 pound prime rib, I had it in the oven for 1 hour and 40 minutes and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Serve topped with a gremolata.
