Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bone-in prime rib roast 6-7 pounds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons coarse salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Method
 

  1. Remove roast from refrigerator; stand at room temperature 2 hours before cooking.
  2. Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and cayenne in a small bowl.
  3. Rub entire roast with oil; coat generously with seasoning, pressing into meat.
  4. Place bone-side down in roasting pan; roast at 450°F for 15 minutes to form crust.
  5. Reduce oven to 325°F; roast 13-15 minutes per pound for medium-rare (about 1.5-2 hours total), until internal temperature reaches 120-125°F.
  6. Remove; tent loosely with foil and rest 20-30 minutes before carving. Temperature will rise to 130-135°F while resting.
  7. Slice between bones; serve immediately with horseradish sauce.
