Description
A recipe for a savory prime rib roast served with a simple horseradish sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (5 pound) prime rib roast, bone-in
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 cup prepared horseradish
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for sauce)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, coarse salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the roast.
- Place the roast, fat side up, in a roasting pan.
- Roast at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Continue roasting until an internal temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit is reached for medium-rare (about 13-15 minutes per pound).
- Remove the roast from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.
- While the roast rests, prepare the sauce: combine the prepared horseradish, sour cream, white vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Mix well.
- Slice the prime rib and serve immediately with the horseradish sauce.
Notes
- For medium doneness, aim for an internal temperature of 135 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, increase the initial roasting temperature to 500 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes before reducing the heat.
