♥Garlic Herbed New Year's Prime Rib♥



When I was a little girl, prime rib was the meal we ate on New Year's day along with a hefty serving of lobster for my mom and dad. Frankly, I don't "do" crustaceans - never have - never willTo this day, prime rib and I have had a love affair. I am totally besotted with it. Enjoy!

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

  • 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 the oven to 500 degrees.
  • Bake the roast for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees, and continue roasting for an additional 60 to 75 minutes. The internal temperature of the roast should be at 145 degrees for medium rare.
  • Allow the roast to rest for 10 or 15 minutes before carving so the meat can retain its juices.

Prime rib cooked correctly - thank you. Rare and juicy is the only way to eat it. Pass your lobster if you don't want it; I'll take it off of your hands.

Thanks for the great recipe. Happy Pink Saturday.
