Perfect Prime Rib Roast

🥩 Perfect Prime Rib Roast
🧾 Ingredients
1 prime rib roast (2–4 kg, bone-in preferred)
2–3 tbsp olive oil or softened butter
4–6 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp salt (coarse is best)
1–2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried)
1 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
🔥 Instructions

  1. Bring to Room Temp
    Take the roast out of the fridge 2–3 hours before cooking
    This helps it cook evenly
  2. Season Generously
    Mix oil/butter + garlic + herbs + salt + pepper
    Rub all over the meat (don’t be shy!)
  3. High-Heat Start
    Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F)
    Roast for 20 minutes to create a crust
  4. Slow Roast
    Lower temperature to 120°C (250°F)
    Cook until internal temp reaches:
    50–52°C → rare
    55–57°C → medium-rare (best!)
    60°C → medium
    👉 Rough guide: 15–20 min per 500g
  5. Rest (VERY IMPORTANT)
    Remove from oven and rest 20–30 minutes
    Juices redistribute → super tender
    🔪 Pro Tips
    Use a meat thermometer if you can
    Don’t skip resting (this is the secret!)
    Slice against the grain for tenderness
    🥔 Optional Add-On
    Throw potatoes, carrots, and onions in the pan during the last hour — they soak up all those amazing juices 🤤
