Prime Rib Roast Recipe

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to high heat, about 260°C (500°F).
2. Prepare the Roast:
   • Brush the prime rib roast all over with olive oil.
   • Season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Optional: Add Garlic:
   • If desired, use a paring knife to make small slits in the roast and insert garlic cloves.
4. Roast the Prime Rib:
   • Place the seasoned roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
   • Roast in the preheated oven at high heat (500°F) for 15 minutes to sear the outside.
5. Reduce Oven Temperature:
   • After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (325°F).
6. Continue Roasting:
   • Continue to roast the prime rib until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:
     • Medium-rare: 57°C (135°F)
     • Medium: 60°C (140°F)
     • Well-done: 66°C (150°F)
7. Resting the Roast:
   • Once done, remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board.
   • Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender roast.
8. Carving:
   • After resting, carve the prime rib roast into slices and serve.

Notes:

• Cooking times may vary depending on your oven and the exact size of the roast. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
• For best results, allow the roast to come to room temperature for about an hour before cooking.
• Enjoy your prime rib roast with your favorite side dishes and sauces.
