Ingredients

1 bone-in prime rib roast (about 6–7 pounds)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Remove the roast from the fridge 1–2 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, olive oil or butter, salt, and pepper.
Rub the herb mixture all over the roast, pressing it into every crevice.
Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Place roast bone-side down on a rack in a roasting pan.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast.
Roast until internal temperature reaches 120°F for rare, 130°F for medium-rare, or 140°F for medium (about 25–35 minutes per pound).
Remove from oven and let rest for 30–45 minutes, tented with foil.
Increase oven temp to 500°F (260°C) and roast for an additional 8–10 minutes to create the crust.
Carve between the bones and serve with desired sides and sauces.
