🥘Ingredients

For the Roast

1 (4-rib) bone-in prime rib roast (about 8 pounds)
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil

For the Pan Juices

1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

👨‍🍳Directions

1Remove the rib roast from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
2Preheat the oven to 450°F with the rack in the lower third.
3In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil to form a paste.
4Rub this mixture evenly over all surfaces of the roast, including the fat cap.
5Place the roast bone-side down on a rack in a roasting pan.
6Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F without opening the door.
7Continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium-rare, about 2 hours more.
8Check the temperature with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding the bone.
9Remove the roast from the oven and tent loosely with foil.
10Let it rest for 20 minutes; the temperature will rise to 130°F during this time.
11While the roast rests, place the roasting pan over medium heat on the stovetop.
12Add the beef broth and red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan bottom.
13Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
14Strain the juices into a gravy boat and serve alongside the sliced roast.

📝Notes

For a more intense garlic flavor, make small slits in the roast and insert slivers of garlic before rubbing with the herb paste. Let the roast rest uncovered for the last 30 minutes of resting if you prefer a crispier crust.

To store leftover garlic rib roast, let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze slices in an airtight container for up to two months.

When reheating, place slices in a low oven at 300°F with a splash of beef broth to keep them moist, or sear them quickly in a hot pan for a crispy edge. I love serving leftovers on crusty bread with horseradish cream for an easy lunch.

This recipe works beautifully for family gatherings because it feeds a crowd without a lot of fuss. The garlic crust and tender meat always impress, and the leftovers make the next day just as enjoyable.

Whether it is a holiday feast or a casual Sunday dinner, this garlic rib roast is a reliable choice that brings everyone together.
