Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (5-6 pound) prime rib roast, bone-in
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Remove the prime rib roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour before cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
- Rub the herb mixture all over the prime rib roast, ensuring even coverage.
- Place the roast bone-side down on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to develop a crust.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
- Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the roasting pan over medium heat on the stovetop. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 5-10 minutes.
- Slice the prime rib roast and serve with the pan sauce.
Notes
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the roast.
- Letting the roast rest is crucial for juicy meat as it allows the juices to redistribute.
- Feel free to customize the herb mixture based on your preferences.
