The Best Recipe For Prime Rib
Are you ready for the BEST Prime Rib recipe? This is a no-fail, meltingly tender and juicy, garlic-crusted prime rib that will have all your guests swooning. This standing beef rib roast is perfect for Christmas and the holidays, or any special occasion worthy of a little splurge.
Prime rib (also known as standing rib roast) is up there next to turkey, honey baked ham, filet mignon and beef tenderloin in terms of intimidating recipes. It’s a big ‘ol chunk of meat that’s usually the centerpiece of a holiday meal. And let’s be honest, you don’t want to accidentally over cook it or mess it up, especially if you have guests over.
Adding to the intimidation…prime rib is also super pricey. But if you’ve enjoyed a perfectly roasted prime rib, you also know that it’s worth every penny for that beautiful, show-stopping piece of meat.
Prime Rib Recipe
So let’s jump to the good news – it’s really easy to cook! Sure, you may find different cooking methods online, like a reverse sear, but I promise that if you stick with this simple, no-fail prime rib recipe you’ll get raving accolades all around. You know my motto, simple and foolproof is best.
A cut of meat this good doesn’t need much. Heck, simple salt and pepper works just fine. But today, we’ll add a few garlic cloves and herbs for the ultimate flavorful crust.
The general rule of thumb is 1 pound of prime rib per person. But in my experience, that’s a lot of meat! I think 3/4 pound per person is a better estimate, or even 1/2 pound if you’re serving it up with a lot of sides. Here’s a general guideline:
Perfect Prime Rib Recipe
You have the option of purchasing either a bone-in or boneless prime rib. Both work just fine in this recipe, though I personally prefer a bone-in. The bones act as a natural rack, keeping the meat elevated when cooking, and they insulate the meat, keeping it extra juicy.
Pro Tip: Ask your butcher to cut the bones off, but then tie them back on! This gives you all the benefits of the bones with none of the work of having to slice them off. You just have to cut the string and remove the bones before serving. Super easy!
With the grade of meat. Prime rib can come in prime or choice cuts. Prime cuts are the most expensive and have beautiful fat marbling (aka – lots of delicious flavor!). Choice cuts have slightly less marbling, and are slightly cheaper.
Easy Prime Rib Recipe That Is Foolproof Everytime
Carry choice cuts, and often only on the weekends. If you want a prime cut plan ahead, as you may have to order it from your butcher.
To ensure the prime rib is cooked evenly it MUST be at room temperature before going into the oven. Otherwise you’ll end up with well-done meat on the ends and raw meat in the middle, which is definitely not ideal. So remember to remove it from the fridge 2-3 hours before cooking.
All you need are three basic items for the perfect prime rib – an oven-safe pan or roasting tray, a thermometer, and a sharp knife.

Make the garlic herb butter. Preheat your oven to 450F, then mix together the butter, herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Pat and coat. After the prime rib has come to room temperature, pat it down with a few paper towels to remove any moisture. Then slather it all over with the garlic herb butter mix.
It’s time to roast it. Place the prime bones side down in an oven-safe pan or roasting pan. Place onion slices around the meat if you plan to make the red wine au jus. Then roast the prime rib for 20 minutes at the high temperature, to sear the outside and create a crust. After you’ve seared the outside, reduce the temperature to 325F, and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of done (see chart below).
How To Cook A Boneless Prime Rib Roast
Let it rest. 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.
Slice it up. Remove the strings that are keeping the bones attached or slice the bones off the meat. Then, carve the prime rib into thick 1/2-inch slices and serve with the red wine au jus.
I’m cooking a 6 pound prime rib for this recipe, which will take about an hour and a half. Estimate 13-15 minutes per pound for medium-rare. If your prime rib is larger or smaller you’ll need to adjust the cook time. Here are a few estimates, but remember to always go by internal temperature, not time. Especially as all ovens cook slightly differently.
How To Cook The Best Prime Rib
It’s important to remember that there will be residual heat and carryover cooking, once you remove the prime rib from the oven. That means the internal temperature will continue to rise 7-10 degrees. So don’t overcook it! And always (always) let it rest, for 20-30 minutes.
If you have leftovers after your dinner or party, not to worry, you can save them! You definitely don’t want this expensive cut of meat going to waste. So here’s how to enjoy it again in the future!
You can enjoy leftover prime rib with any of the sides mentioned below, or you can turn it into prime rib tacos as well (they’re amazingly good!).

Perfect Prime Rib Every Time
When making a recipe like this and you really want to wow, I recommend heading to your local butcher instead of making the typical grocery store run. They’ll have high-grade cuts and can help you select the best option for your meal.
Check the chart below to find out what the internal temperature will be for each level of doneness. I recommend cooking your rib roast to medium-rare for juicy, tender, delicate flavor!
Note, you should pull the roast out of the oven about 5 degrees before the desired temperature because it will continue to rise as it rests.
Holiday Prime Rib Recipe
Yes, or close to it. Remove the roast from the fridge and let it sit out at room temperature for an hour before putting it in the oven.
Check the internal temperature chart above. You’ll want to pull the roast from the oven about 4-8 degrees before it hits your desired temp because it will continue to rise while it rests.
Once in the oven, it will take about 3-4 hours to cook, depending on whether you prefer rare, medium rare, or well done beef.
Smoked Prime Rib Recipe
Yes! Ideally, you’ll salt up to 48 hours before cooking, but I recommend doing it at least overnight (8 hours). This gives salt time to penetrate the surface of the meat, which will make it much more flavorful.
Let prime rib cool before storing. I recommend only cutting slices as you serve, so you should have most of your roast intact when it comes time to store leftovers. Fully wrap it in plastic wrap, then store in the fridge up to 5 days.
Cut and reheat slices in the oven as you need them. The beef makes for great sandwiches if you aren’t planning for another formal dinner in the following days.
Onion Crusted Beef Prime Rib Roast Recipe
Yes! Tightly wrap it in plastic wrap, then wrap in aluminum foil for an extra layer of protection. If it’s already cut into slices, place them in a freezer-safe bag to store. Otherwise, place the wrapped roast in the freezer as is.
With this roast at the center of the table, you can’t go wrong no matter what sides you choose. I love to serve it with Instant Pot scalloped potatoes or parmesan
