Juicy Prime Rib

 

Ingredients

 

For the Roast:

·         7 lb beef prime rib (bone-in)*
·         3 1/2 tsp salt, divided
·         1/2 Tbsp black pepper, freshly ground
·         1 tsp fresh rosemary leaves, minced, from 1 sprig or 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
·         1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, minced, from 1-2 sprigs, or 1/4 tsp dried thyme
·         8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
·         3 Tbsp extra light olive oil

 

 

Instructions

1.      Cut the ribs away from the roast, cutting right along the ribs and keeping the ribs together. Replace the ribs back onto the roast and use kitchen string to tie them tightly onto the roast in 1-inch intervals. 
2.      Sprinkle meat all over with 2 tsp salt, cover loosely with plastic wrap and let it rest  for 3 hours to come to room temperature . Then preheat Oven to 500˚F with rack in the lower third of the oven.
3.      Make your Prime Rib rub: In a small bowl, stir together: 1/2 Tbsp salt, 1/2 Tbsp black pepper, 1 tsp minced rosemary, 1/2 tsp minced thyme leaves, chopped garlic, and 3 Tbsp olive oil.
4.      Lightly pat the roast dry with a paper towel then rub all over top and sides with garlic rub. Place into a roasting pan bone-side-down (the bones will serve as a rack) and put a meat thermometer into the thickest portion of the meat. Bake at 500˚F for 15 minutes.
5.      Reduce heat to 325˚F and continue baking following these guidelines: 10-12 min per pound for rare, or 13-14 min per pound for medium rare, and 14-15 min per pound for medium. Roast until the thermometer registers: 120˚F for rare, 130˚F for medium rare, 140 for Medium, 150 for medium well.* 
6.      Transfer to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil and rest 30 minutes before carving. Remove string and rack of ribs then slice to desired thickness.
