Ingredients
For the Prime Rib
- 1 (5-pound) prime rib roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Making the Prime Rib
Place the prime rib on a rack in a roasting pan.
Rub the garlic herb mixture evenly over the surface of the roast.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for about 1 3/4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
Assembly and Final Steps
Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.
While the roast rests, make the sauce by combining beef broth and red wine in a saucepan over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water and add to the saucepan, stirring until the sauce thickens.
Carve the prime rib and serve with the sauce, garnished with fresh parsley.
Chef's Tips
