Rub the mixture all over the roast, ensuring it’s well coated.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to create a crust.Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Variations & Tips
For a different flavor profile, try adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the rub for a hint of smokiness. If you prefer a herb crust, mix in some panko breadcrumbs with the herbs and olive oil for extra crunch. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, a pinch of cayenne pepper can add a subtle kick. Remember, the key to a perfect prime rib is letting it rest after cooking, so be patient and resist the urge to slice it too soon.
