Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

Step 2

In a small bowl mix the seasonings, olive oil, and garlic until well combined.

Step 3

Rub over the entire prime rib then place in a roasting pan with the fat side up. I use an electronic meat thermometer with an alarm (I highly recommend getting one--it makes life so much easier) which is inserted in the center of the prime rib.

Step 4

Bake the 3lb roast for 17 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat (without opening the oven door) to 325 degrees and continue roasting for about 35 minutes or until the thermometer reads 130 degrees (for medium-rare).

Step 5

Remove from oven and let rest for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
