1. Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels and let it sit at room temperature for 1–2 hours.

2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper to form a paste.

3. Rub the paste all over the roast, making sure to cover all surfaces and press into any crevices.

4. Preheat oven to 225°F (107°C). Place the roast bone-side down on a rack inside a roasting pan.

5. Roast in the oven for 3–4 hours until internal temperature reaches 120°F (rare) or 130°F (medium-rare).

6. Remove roast from oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 30 minutes.

7. Increase oven temp to 500°F (260°C). Return roast for 8–10 minutes to develop a crust.

8. Remove and carve between bones. Serve immediately with desired sides or sauces.
