Herb and Garlic Crusted Prime Rib Roast

Serves 6 -8

4 ½ - 5 pound Prime Rib Roast

Mix together:

6 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
3-4 tbsp olive oil
½ cup fresh chopped mixed herbs (Oregano, rosemary and thyme work well.)

Rub the herb garlic mix all over the surface of the roast. Press it into the meat a little to make it stick as much as possible. Roast, rib side down, uncovered on a rack in a preheated 375 degree F oven until the center reaches the desired temperature on a meat thermometer; 145 degrees F for rare, 160-165 degrees F for medium and 175-180 degrees F for well done.
