Instructions
- 1. Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking so it can lose some of its chill. Pat it dry with paper towels and set it on a rack in a roasting pan.
- 2. In a small bowl, stir together the Christmas Roast Infused Olive Oil Blend, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, rosemary, thyme, onion powder, and Dijon mustard.
- 3. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the roast, pressing it into the surface so it clings well. Let the roast rest while the oven preheats to 450 F.
- 4. Roast the prime rib for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325 F without opening the door. Continue roasting for about 2 hours, or until the center reaches your preferred doneness on an instant-read thermometer.
- 5. Add the beef broth to the bottom of the pan during the last 30 minutes of roasting to keep the drippings flavorful.
- 6. When the roast is done, transfer it to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
- 7. Whisk the softened butter into the pan drippings if you want a richer carving jus, then slice the prime rib against the grain and serve warm.
Notes
For the best crust, make sure the roast is dry before seasoning. If you want a stronger herb edge, add an extra teaspoon of chopped rosemary to the oil mixture. Resting time matters here, so don't rush the carve.
