Garlic Prime Rib

By eaglezfan6

Ingredients

• 1 10 lb prime rib roast
• 10 cloves garlic minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp pepper
• 2 tsp dried thyme

Preparation

Step 1

Place the roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Spread the mixture over the fatty layer of the roast, and let the roast sit out until it is at room temperature, no longer than 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 500. Bake the roast for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 325 and continue roasting for an aditional 60-70 minutes. The internal temperature of the roast should be at 145 degrees for medium rare.

Allow the roast to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving so the meat can retain its juices.
