Ingredients
- •Beef Ribeye, Boneless(2722g)
- •Unsalted Butter(60g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •Garlic(30g)
- •Oregano, Dried(15g)
- •Parsley, Fresh(15g)
- •Thyme, Fresh(10g)
- •Rosemary, Fresh(10g)
- •1 tablespoon kosher salt
- •1/2 tablespoon black pepper
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 450˚F | 230°C for at least 30 minutes while the prime rib comes to room temperature.
- 2Mix together the butter, garlic, herbs, 1 tablespoon of salt and the pepper together in a small bowl until combined.
- 3Place the roast in a cast iron skillet or roasting pan bone-side down. The bones create a natural roasting rack for the meat. Pour the garlic herb butter mixture over the meat, rubbing it into the flesh to coat it well and evenly.Season with a little extra salt and pepper for added flavour.
- 4Cook the roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F | 190°C. Cover with foil and continue to cook the roast to your preference of doneness (until your meat thermometer reads 110°F | 43°C). For the pictured roast, we cooked it for 45 minutes, covered.
- 5Once cooked to your liking, allow to rest for 20 minutes. The roast will continue to cook as the juices inside settle, raising the internal temperature to 130°F | 55°C for a perfect medium-rare prime rib.
