Wonderful served with baked Brussel sprouts or green beans and baby potatoes or greek potatoes."
Ingredients
6 pounds (3 kg) standing rib roast
4 tbsp olive oil
8 large cloves garlic minced or finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)
1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tbsp black pepper
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 450F | 230C for at least 30 minutes while the prime rib comes to room temperature.
2. Mix together the butter, garlic, herbs, 1 tablespoon of salt and the pepper together in a small bowl until combined.
3. Place the roast in a cast iron skillet or roasting pan bone-side down. The bones create a natural roasting rack for the meat.
4. Pour the garlic herb butter mixture over the meat, rubbing it into the flesh to coat it well and evenly. Season with a little extra salt and pepper for added flavour.
5. Cook the roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375F | 190C. Cover with foil and continue to cook the roast to your preference of doneness (until your meat thermometer reads 110F | 43C). For the pictured roast, we cooked it for 45 minutes, covered.
6. Once cooked to your liking, allow to rest for 20 minutes. The roast will continue to cook as the juices inside settle, raising the internal temperature to 130F | 55C for a perfect medium-rare prime rib.
Garnish with fresh Rosemary and Thyme
