Meat You'll Need

Preparation

  1. Set out the prime rib and let come to room temperature.
  2. Preheat oven to 180 C.
  3. Make small slits all over the prime rib and fill each slit with a slice of garlic.
  4. Season liberally with the salt and pepper. Place on a rack set in a roasting pan and roast for about 2 hours until medium rare, or until the center of the roast registers 57 C
  5. Move the meat to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.

  8. Slice meat to desired thickness and serve with thyme au jus.

Cooking Tips

Want to impress your loved ones or guests? Steal these secrets to a perfectly cooked prime rib roast.

  1. Bring your prime rib to room temperature an hour before cooking it. Immediately heating the meat will only give you well-cooked edges.
  2. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer as it nears your ideal doneness. The temperature will rise faster when the meat is almost cooked.
  3. Bringing the roast to your desired temperature and properly resting it are key to well-done and tender meat. This tip works better if you’re using a roasting pan.
