Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat large roasting pan with cooking spray. Place roast fat side up in pan.

In small bowl, combine garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and tarragon; mix well, then reserve 2 teaspoons mixture. Rub all but reserved spice mixture evenly over the roast.

Roast 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours for medium-rare (150 degrees. on meat thermometer), or until desired doneness. Remove from oven and allow to stand 10 minutes before cutting.

In medium saucepan, heat brown gravy, red wine, reserved spice mixture, and pan drippings over medium low heat 8 to 10 minutes, or until heated through, mixing well.

Slice rib eye across tgrain and serve with sauce.

Notes:

Nothing goes better with prime rib than baked potatoes, and since oven is already on to make the roast, making the potatoes is easy as 1-2-3.
