Simple and Delicious Prime Rib Roast

Ingredients:

Prime Rib, bone-in and tied with butcher's twine

Olive Oil

1 T Dried Thyme

1 T Dried Rosemary

1 T Black Pepper

1 T Onion Powder

1 T Garlic Powder

3 T Kosher Salt

Directions:

If frozen, thaw prime rib overnight in refrigerator. 

Set out meat four hours prior to cooking. 

In a small bowl, combine thyme, rosemary, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and kosher salt. 

Place meat in a roasting pan on top of a rack, bones on the bottom. 

Cut 1/2-inch deep slits across top of meat about 2 inches apart. 

Rub entire surface and sides with olive oil. 

Rub and press seasoning mixture all over meat including inside slits. Reserve extra for next time. 

Let meat rest while preheating oven to 500 degrees F. 

For every pound of prime rib, cook 5 minutes at 500 degrees then (on next to lowest oven rack and without ever opening oven door) turn off heat and keep oven door shut for 2 hours. 

Remove from oven and use a meat thermometer to ensure meat has reached desired temperature. 

Allow to rest for ten minutes before slicing and serving.
