- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to high heat, about 260°C (500°F).
- Prepare the Roast:
- Brush the prime rib roast all over with olive oil.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Optional: Add Garlic:
- If desired, use a paring knife to make small slits in the roast and insert garlic cloves.
- 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.
- Reduce Oven Temperature:
- After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (325°F).
- 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)
- Continue to roast the prime rib until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:
- 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.
- 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.
