Equipment

1 baking tray with rack
1 brush
1 Meat Thermometer
1 carving knife

Ingredients

6 lbs prime rib about 3 rib bones
2 tbsps sea salt
1 tbsp freshly grated black pepper
1 stick butter
1 tbsp oregano
0.5 tsp paprika
5 garlic cloves
2 rosemary twigs remove leaves and chop them thinly
1 tsp thyme
1 red onion
2 carrots
2 celery ribs

Instructions

Take the roast out of the refrigerator about 1 hour before you'll roast it. At the half hour mark, pat dry with paper towel. Season with salt and pepper thoroughly on all sides. Let it sit for the other half hour.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
Soften butter and mix with minced garlic and the rest of the herbs and seasonings.
Apply the herbed butter to prime rib all over with a brush.
Peel and slice the onion and carrots. Chop the celery in big chunks. Add all the veggies in the baking tray. Place the rack on top of veggies and add the prime rib over the rack.
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to sear the beef in high temperature. Then lower the heat to 300 degrees F and let the beef roast for about 1.5 hrs.
Check at that point with a meat thermometer. Estimated temperatures I go by are as follows: 120 for rare, 130 for medium rare and 140 for medium.
Once you achieve the desired internal temperature, remove the whole baking tray from oven. Turn oven off. Cover the prime rib for about 20 minutes.
Then remove string and rib bones from the bottom and slice as desired. Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy the Holidays:).
