Ingredients:
- 6 pounds prime rib (bone-in (with bones cut off and tied back on))
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 6 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 onion (quartered (if making the red wine au jus))
- 1/4 cup drippings from prime rib pan (make sure to separate the fat from the drippings)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 1/2 cups red wine
- Optional: 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (in a slurry) to thicken
Instruction:
- Remove the prime rib from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. You can tent it with aluminum foil to keep it warm. Then, remove the string and bones, and slice it up into thick 1/2″ slices.
- Simmer this for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half. It’s meant to be a thin sauce, but if you’d like to add a little bit of a thickener, you can do that as well. Strain the au jus to remove the onion and any browned bits, then drizzle over the prime rib.

FAQ
Which is the best way to cook prime rib?
Start by cooking your prime rib at 500°F for 15 minutes and then lower the oven temperature to 325° F and cook for 10-12 min per pound for rare prime rib, or 13-14 min per pound for medium rare prime rib, or 14-15 min per pound for medium well prime rib. A meat thermometer is essential to ensure you cook it perfectly!
How do restaurants make prime rib so tender?
To further enhance tenderness, we cook the roast at a very low temperature (200 degrees) for 3 to 4 hours, or until it reaches 110 degrees, then cut the heat. We leave the roast in the turned-off oven until it reaches 120 degrees (for rare) or about 125 degrees (for medium-rare).
Is it better to cook prime rib slow or fast?
Slow roasting will cook the prime rib more evenly, giving you tender, juicy, end to end pink meat.
How many hours does it take to cook a prime rib?
Cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the prime rib registers 130 degrees F for medium rare, 35 to 45 minutes of cooking time per pound. An 8-pound roast will take about 5 1/2 to 6 hours.
Should I sear prime rib before roasting?
Searing is an important part of roasting a prime rib. Searing the roast first will kill the surface bacteria, which is a nice touch, especially when you are roasting at lower temperatures.
