Prime Rib

Ingredients
1 8-10 lb prime rib roast (bone-in)
2-4 tsp of minced garlic
2 T olive oil
2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp dried thyme

Directions:
1. Place the roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Spread the mixture over the fatty layer of the roast and let the roast sit out until it is at room temperature (no longer than 1 hour).

2. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees

3. Bake the roast for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees and continue roasting for until meat reaches 145 degrees (medium rare). Approximately 2 1/2 more hours

4. Allow the roast to rest for 10 to 15 min before carving so the meat can retain its juices.
