Description

A simple prime rib marinade made with olive oil, lots of garlic, black pepper, and thyme turns your prime rib roast into a restaurant-worthy meal.

Ingredients

1 (10 pound) prime rib roast
10 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried thyme

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients for marinade.
2 Mix garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme together in a small bowl.
3 Place roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up. Spread mixture over the top of roast; let roast sit out until it is at room temperature, no longer than 1 hour.
4 Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
5 Bake roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and continue roasting for an additional 60 to 75 minutes. The internal temperature of the roast should be at 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) for medium rare.
6 Allow roast to rest for 10 or 15 minutes before carving so the meat can retain its juices.
