Michael Symon's Prime Rib Recipe

The aroma of a perfectly cooked prime rib is something you just can't forget!
One of my favorite recipes comes from chef Michael Symon, who never fails to deliver with his mouthwatering, simple-to-follow instructions.
Start by letting your prime rib sit at room temperature for an hour before cooking so you get a nice, even cooking throughout the roast.
I love how the rosemary and smashed garlic in the pan infuse the beef with a rich flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 Prime Rib Roast about 6 lbs
  • 4 tbsp Kosher Salt
  • 2 tbsp Black Pepper
  • 3 Garlic Cloves crushed
  • 3 sprigs Rosemary
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Salt the prime rib generously and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour to get an even result. This helps with flavor and texture.
  • Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F, ensuring that the rack is centered to allow proper heat circulation around the roast.
  • Place the prime rib in a roasting pan along with crushed garlic and rosemary sprigs, and then drizzle with olive oil for added richness.
  • Roast the prime rib for about 20 minutes at 500 degrees F to create a nice crust. Then, reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • Continue roasting for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness. Aim for 130 degrees F for medium-rare.
