Garlic Prime Rib Roast

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Start to finish: 1 hour and 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 ten-pound prime rib roast beef

10 cloves of minced garlic

2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil

2 teaspoons (10 g) of salt

2 teaspoons (4 g) of ground black pepper

2 teaspoons (3 g) of dried thyme

Directions

1. Place your beef roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side facing up. Mix the garlic, salt, pepper, thyme and olive oil together in a small bowl. Take the mixture and spread it over the fatty layer. Let the beef roast sit out until it hits room temperature (1 hour maximum).

2. Preheat your oven to 500oF / 260oC.

3. Bake the beef roast for 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 325oF / 165oC and keep roasting for another 60 to 75 minutes. The roast's internal temperature should be 145oF / 53oC if you're aiming for medium rare.

4. Let the roast rest for about 10 to 15 minutes before carving - this will help the beef keep its juices.
