Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 rib roast about 4–5 pounds
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Allow the rib roast to come to room temperature for about 1 hour before cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a bowl, mix garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper to form an herb paste.
- Rub the herb mixture evenly over the rib roast.
- Place the roast bone-side down on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Roast at 450°F (232°C) for 15 minutes to form a crust.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for 1.5–2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
- Remove from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and serve with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
Notes
Marinate the roast overnight for deeper flavor. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness and let it rest before slicing for juicy results. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for 3 months. Reheat gently at 300°F (149°C) until warmed through.
