Ingredients

For the Prime Rib:

• 1 (6-7 pound) bone-in prime rib roast
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Au Jus:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup red wine
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F.
2. Make sure your prime rib is at room temperature before cooking.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil to create a paste.
4. Place the prime rib in a roasting pan and massage the herb paste all over the meat, making sure to cover all sides.
5. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the prime rib.
6. Roast the prime rib for 20 minutes at 450°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and continue cooking for about 2 hours or until the thermometer reads 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.
7. While the prime rib is cooking, make the au jus by heating olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and cook until softened.
8. Stir in the beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the flavors have melded together.
9. Once the prime rib is done cooking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
10. Serve the prime rib with the au jus on the side for dipping or drizzling over the slices.
