Main Ingredients

  • 5 lb prime rib roast bone-in, at room temperature
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
  • Rub the prime rib roast with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
  • Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan, and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat.
  • Roast for approximately 2 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium rare.
