🔥 Introduction

When you want to impress your family or guests with a restaurant-worthy dinner, nothing beats a perfectly cooked Prime Rib Roast. With a flavorful pepper-garlic crust and tender, juicy meat inside, this classic dish is the ultimate holiday centerpiece or special-occasion dinner.

This step-by-step guide will show you how to make Prime Rib that’s tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection — just like a steakhouse chef would serve!


🧂 Ingredients

  • 1 (5–6 lb) bone-in prime rib roast (standing rib roast)

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt

  • 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (optional for extra flavor)


👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Bring the Meat to Room Temperature

  • Take your prime rib out of the fridge 2 hours before cooking.

  • This helps it cook evenly from edge to center.


Step 2: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).

  • Place the roast on a rack inside a roasting pan, fat side up.


Step 3: Season Generously

  • Rub olive oil all over the roast.

  • Mix all dry seasonings in a bowl and coat the entire roast evenly.

  • Press seasoning gently so it sticks to the meat.


Step 4: Sear and Roast

  1. Place the roast in the preheated oven and cook at 500°F for 15 minutes to sear the crust.

  2. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting:

    • For medium-rare: 15 minutes per pound (internal temp 130°F)

    • For medium: 17 minutes per pound (internal temp 140°F)


Step 5: Rest Before Carving

  • Remove roast from oven, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 20–30 minutes.

  • This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat moist.


Step 6: Slice & Serve

Slice against the grain into thick cuts. Serve with au jus (pan drippings + a bit of beef broth) or horseradish cream sauce for the perfect bite.
