Garlic Prime Rib
December 24th, 2006 by Nikki
This was our Christmas Eve dinner this year. Absolutely fabulous (although we did overcook ours). We’ll get a better picture next time we make this (and we will be making it again)!! We served ours with fresh cut steamed green beans, snow peas and garlic mashed potatoes.
Ingredients:
- 1 (10 lb) prime rib roast
- 10 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 2 tsp. dried thyme
Directions:
- Place the roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Spread the mixture over the fatty layer of the roast, and let the roast sit out until it is at room temperature, no longer than 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 500°.
- Bake the roast for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 325°, and continue roasting for an additional 60-75 minutes (or when the internal temperature on your meat thermometer says 125°). Pull the roast out of the oven and let sit for 10 or 15 minutes. The internal temperature will rise approximately 10-20° during this time.
- Carve and serve!
This should give you a perfect medium rare prime rib!!
