A foolproof prime rib roast recipe with a crispy crust and juicy, tender center, perfect for Easter dinner and special occasions.

Ingredients

  • Prime Rib Roast (Bone-in, about 4 to 5 pounds / 1.8 to 2.3 kg)
  • Kosher Salt (3 tablespoons)
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper (2 tablespoons)
  • Garlic Powder (1 tablespoon)
  • Fresh Rosemary (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)
  • Olive Oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Dijon Mustard (2 teaspoons, optional)
  • Beef Broth (1 cup / 240 ml)

Instructions

  1. Bring the roast to room temperature by letting it sit on the counter for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  3. In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped rosemary.
  4. Brush the entire surface of the roast with olive oil, then spread Dijon mustard evenly.
  5. Rub the seasoning mix all over the roast, pressing it into the meat.
  6. Place the roast fat side up on a rack in a roasting pan.
  7. Roast at 450°F (230°C) for 20 minutes to form the crust.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C) for rare or 130°F (54°C) for medium rare.
  9. Check temperature regularly using a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part, avoiding bone.
  10. Remove roast from oven and tent with aluminum foil; let rest for at least 20 minutes.
  11. Make pan jus by pouring off excess fat, adding beef broth to the pan, and scraping up browned bits over medium heat until slightly reduced.
  12. Carve the roast against the grain into thick slices and serve with pan jus.

Notes

Bring the roast to room temperature before cooking for even roasting. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. Let the roast rest for at least 20 minutes to redistribute juices. Adjust roasting time if your oven runs hot or cold. Carve against the grain for tender slices. For variations, swap rosemary for thyme or add smoked paprika. For low sodium, reduce salt and enhance herbs.
