Prime Rib / Roast Beef (Rare to Medium-Rare)
Ingredients:
• 1 prime rib or roast beef (3–6 lbs)
• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme
• Optional: butter for basting
Instructions:
1. Bring the roast to room temperature for 1 hour before cooking.
2. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
3. Mix garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs into a paste. Rub all over the roast.
4. Place the roast on a rack, fat side up.
5. Roast at 450°F for 15 minutes to create a crust.
6. Lower the oven to 325°F (160°C) and continue cooking:
• Rare: pull at 120°F (49°C)
• Medium-rare: pull at 130°F (54°C)
7. Let the roast rest 20 minutes before slicing so the juices redistribute.
8. Slice against the grain and serve with au jus, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
Tip: For extra flavor, spoon buttery garlic drippings over the slices before serving.
