Meal Type: Main Dishes
Serves: 8
Ingredients
6 pounds bone in prime rib
5 garlic cloves smashed
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
Leaves from 2 Fresh rosemary sprigs
Leaves from 4 fresh thyme
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/8 cup freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Lay the beef in a large roasting pan with the bone side down. (The ribs act as a natural roasting rack.) In a small bowl mash together the garlic, horseradish, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make a paste. Massage the paste generously over the entire roast. Put the pan in the oven and roast the beef until the internal temperature of the meat registers 125 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (medium-rare), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the beef to a carving board and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.
