✅ 1 cup beef broth (for pan drippings)

Instructions:

1️⃣ Let It Warm Up (Patience is Key!)

• Take the prime rib out of the fridge 2 hours before cooking so it reaches room temperature.

2️⃣ Get That Oven HOT

• Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

3️⃣ Flavor Explosion

• Mix garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper into a paste.
• Rub it all over the roast—get into every nook and cranny!
• Optional: Make tiny slits and stuff whole garlic cloves inside for extra flavor.

4️⃣ Roasting Times for Perfect Doneness

🔥 Start Hot, Then Go Low:

1. Place the roast bone-side down in a roasting pan.
2. Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes to create a flavorful crust.
3. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting based on your desired doneness:

(Use a meat thermometer to check—don't guess!)

5️⃣ Rest & Serve Like a Pro

• Remove from the oven and tent loosely with foil.
• Let it rest for 20-30 minutes to lock in all the juices.
• Slice, serve, and watch everyone’s eyes light up!

💡 Bonus Tip: Use the pan drippings to make a quick au jus by deglazing with beef broth and simmering for a few minutes.
