Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup kosher salt or sea salt flakes
  • 2 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1-2 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 4 pound prime rib roast

Instructions
 

Pre-Season The Meat

  • First, combine all of the spices in a small bowl. Mix them well so they are evenly distributed.
  • Then, season the prime rib cut well so that all the sides are covered.
  • Place the seasoned cut inside a roasting tray and wrap it with saran wrap and foil.
  • Leave the cut to tenderize in the fridge overnight or up to 18 hours!

For The Roast

  • First, remove the pre-seasoned prime rib from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. This makes the meat cut cook more uniformly and evenly.
  • To start, preheat the oven to 350º (180ºC). Line a roasting tray with a layer of foil. Add your roasting rack over the top. The rack is important because it allows the prime rib to cook more evenly.
  • Once the prime rib has reached room temperature, place the seasoned prime rib onto the roasting rack with the fat side facing upwards.
  • Roast the 4-pound prime rib for 60-80 minutes for medium-rare. For medium, you can roast it for 80-100 minutes. And for medium-well, you can roast it for 100-120 minutes.
  • Once you've tested the doneness and are happy with the results, remove the prime rib roast from the oven. Cover it with a tent of foil (the foil shouldn't be touching the roast but should be covering the tray).
  • Leave the roast to rest for 15 minutes before you start cutting the roast into steaks.
