There are few things better than a prime rib roast of beef. This article shows you how to cook a prime rib roast to perfection.

Ingredients

  • 8 lb Boneless Prime Rib Roast
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons ghee, melted (alternatively, you can use 2 Tbsp olive oil)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    A day or two before roasting

  2. 2

    Set boneless prime rib roast on cutting board and pat dry with paper towels. Salt all over with 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Place the salted boneless prime rib roast on a rack in a roasting pan (or on a baking sheet) and refrigerate overnight (uncovered) to air-dry the outside of the prime rib. This ensures a crispier outside.

    Ready to roast

  4. 4

    Preheat oven to 200°F

  5. 5

    In a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons ghee (or olive oil) with 2 tablespoons freshly minced garlic, 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Mix well into a paste.

  6. 6

    With prime rib roast on rack in roasting pan, rub the garlic and thyme paste all over the roast.

  7. 7

    Place roasting pan in preheated oven until the center of the roast reads 120°F on an instant read thermometer for medium-rare. About 4 hours.

  8. 8

    Remove roast from oven and tent with foil to rest for at least 20 minutes.

  9. 9

    Turn oven temp up to 500°F.

  10. 10

    Once the oven reaches 500°F, remove the foil and put the roast back in the oven. Cook until the outside is nicely browned and crisp. About 10-15 minutes. Transfer roast to a cutting board and rest the roast at least 15 minutes. Slice and enjoy!
