Ingredients
- 3-4 bone prime rib roast boned and tied
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- ¼ cup garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons black pepper freshly cracked
- 2 teaspoons salt high quality
- 2 tablespoons parsley fresh, chopped
- 1 tablespoon rosemary fresh, chopped
- 1 tablespoon thyme fresh, chopped
- 3 cups water for roasting pan
Instructions
- Remove prime rib roast from refrigerator and let come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Leave the roast tied together.
- Preheat oven to 450º F.
- Spread butter over the entire prime rib roast.
- Rub garlic, pepper, salt, and herbs over entire roast, pressing it into the butter.
- Place prime rib roast in a rack set over a roasting pan. You can use 3 balls of foil to elevate the roast in the pan if you don't have a rack.
- Pour 2 cups of the water in the bottom of the roasting pan, being careful not to pour any on the roast. This is just to keep the fats from burning in the bottom of the roasting pan and provide some moisture in the oven.
- Roast at 450º for 20 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325º F and continue to roast until medium-rare (130-135ºF), about 1.5 hours (about 20 minutes per pound).
- Check the water in the roasting pan and the temperature of the prime rib roast after about 1-hour, adding more water if necessary.
- Remove the prime rib roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Cut and remove the strings and slice the prime rib, or remove the bottom bones (they will just slide off) if you want to serve thinner slices.

Notes
- Resting is Key: After roasting, let the prime rib rest for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute for a tender, flavorful result.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To achieve the perfect doneness, use a meat thermometer. Aim for 120-125°F for rare, 130-135°F for medium-rare, and 140-145°F for medium.
- Season Generously: Don’t be shy with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs—prime rib benefits from a flavorful crust.
- Save the Drippings: The drippings from the roast make a delicious base for au jus or gravy to serve alongside the meat.
