Yum! A pepper-crusted prime rib roast is a classic, flavorful dish — perfect for special dinners or family meals. Here’s a teen-friendly, simple recipe:
🥩 Pepper-Crusted Prime Rib Roast
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 3–4 lb prime rib roast (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2–3 tsp salt
- 2–3 tsp freshly ground black pepper (coarse grind)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- Optional: fresh rosemary or thyme for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the roast
- Remove the roast from the fridge 1 hour before cooking to reach room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Season the meat
- Rub olive oil all over the roast.
- Mix salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then coat the roast evenly.
- Optional: press fresh rosemary or thyme onto the surface.
- Roast the prime rib
- Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up.
- Roast at 450°F (230°C) for 15–20 minutes to form a crust.
- Reduce oven to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting 1–1.5 hours for medium-rare (internal temp ~130°F / 54°C).
- Rest before slicing
- Remove the roast from the oven and cover loosely with foil.
- Let rest 15–20 minutes — this helps juices redistribute.
- Serve
- Slice against the grain and enjoy with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
Tips & Variations
- Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
- For extra flavor, sear the roast in a hot pan before roasting.
- Pair with horseradish sauce or au jus for a classic touch.
