1. How do I know when my Garlic Herb Prime Rib is done?

The best way to check the doneness of your prime rib is by using a meat thermometer. For a medium-rare roast, the internal temperature should reach 125°F (51°C). Keep in mind that the roast will continue to cook slightly as it rests after being removed from the oven.

2. Can I make Garlic Herb Prime Rib in advance?

Yes, you can season your prime rib up to 24 hours in advance. Rub the garlic herb butter onto the roast and refrigerate it until you're ready to cook. This allows the flavors to meld and can make the process much easier on the day of serving.

3. Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

While a standing rib roast or prime rib is ideal for this recipe due to its tenderness and flavor, you can use other cuts like a boneless ribeye. If you do use a different cut, adjust the cooking time accordingly, as boneless cuts tend to cook faster.

Instructions

Allow the prime rib roast to come to room temperature for about 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, rosemary, thyme, and garlic to create the garlic herb butter.
Spread the garlic herb butter evenly over the top of the roast, letting any excess drip down the sides.
Place the roast on a wire rack in a roasting pan. Insert it into the oven and roast for 15 minutes at 500°F.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for about 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare.
Check the roast’s internal temperature every 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Once done, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
Slice the roast into 1/4-inch slices using a sharp knife and serve immediately.

Notes

For boneless prime rib, adjust cooking time as it will cook faster.
Use a meat thermometer to check doneness accurately.
Let the roast rest to allow juices to redistribute before slicing.
