Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried rosemary, crushed sage, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Pat the garlic mixture evenly over the entire surface of the prime rib roast. Make a deep incision down the center of the roast, running parallel with the bones. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Place the seasoned roast in a large plastic roasting bag. Pour Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce into the bag, concentrating on the incision to ensure maximum flavor penetration. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate the roast for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, turning occasionally to ensure even marination. (2 hours minimum)

05

Step

Remove the roast from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for 1 to 2 hours. This is crucial for even cooking. (1-2 hours)

06

Step

Remove the roast from the bag and discard the marinade. Place the roast, fat-side up, in a roasting pan fitted with a rack. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Preheat your oven to a scorching 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). (15 minutes)

08

Step

Bake the roast in the preheated oven for precisely 15 minutes to develop a beautiful crust. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium-rare, about 1 hour. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. (1 hour)

09

Step

Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast. (20 minutes)

10

Step

Carve the prime rib roast against the grain into thick slices and serve immediately. Enjoy!

For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the garlic-herb mixture.
If you don't have a roasting bag, you can marinate the roast in a large container, turning it frequently.
Adjust cooking time based on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accurate temperature readings.
Don't skip the resting period! It's essential for a juicy and tender roast.
