prime rib
Your family, friends or guests in general are going to fall in love with this beautiful piece of meat! Especially when a buttery, garlicky herb mixture cooks onto and intothis meat, which creates a crispy golden crust on the outside, while the inside stays tender and juicy.
Prime rib can be sold bone-in or boneless, however a bone-in roast yields the best results if you’re looking forward to guaranteed juicy, succulent meat.
what cut of meat is prime rib?
A prime rib roast, (also known as a standing rib roast), is cut from the back of the upper rib section and usually has a total of seven ribs. To cook our Prime Rib recipe, you’ll need a 4-bone rib roast.
how to cook prime rib
Prime rib may be an expensive cut, but it is well worth the price when feeding your guests around a dinner table. It’s a naturally tender and juicy cut of meat that melts in your mouth! You won’t be disappointed with.
- Remove your prime rib about 30 minutes before cooking to take the chill out.
- Preheat your oven to get it nice and hot before cooking.
- Place the roast in a cast iron skillet or roasting pan bone-side down. The bones create a natural roasting rack for the meat.
- Pour the garlic herb butter mixture over the meat, rubbing it into the flesh to coat it well and evenly.
- Roast uncovered first for that char-grilled coated flavour, and then continue roasting, covered until your roast is cooked to your liking.

Ingredients
- 6 pounds (3 kg) standing rib roast (4 bone rib roast)
- 4 tablespoons melted butter, (or olive oil)
- 6-8 large cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped (or 2 tablespoons minced garlic)
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)
- 2 teaspoons fresh Thyme, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
- Preheat your oven to 450˚F | 230°C for at least 30 minutes while the prime rib comes to room temperature.
- Mix together the butter, garlic, herbs, 1 tablespoon of salt and the pepper together in a small bowl until combined.
- Place the roast in a cast iron skillet or roasting pan bone-side down. The bones create a natural roasting rack for the meat. Pour the garlic herb butter mixture over the meat, rubbing it into the flesh to coat it well and evenly.
Season with a little extra salt and pepper for added flavour.
- Cook the roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F | 190°C. Cover with foil and continue to cook the roast to your preference of doneness (until your meat thermometer reads 110°F | 43°C). For the pictured roast, we cooked it for 45 minutes, covered.
- Once cooked to your liking, allow to rest for 20 minutes. The roast will continue to cook as the juices inside settle, raising the internal temperature to 130°F | 55°C for a perfect medium-rare prime rib.
