Maine Prime Rib with Herb Crust

1Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

2In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic (4 cloves), chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, olive oil (2 tablespoons), Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon), and black pepper (1 teaspoon) to create the herb crust.

3Rub the herb crust mixture all over the prime rib roast, ensuring it is evenly coated.

4Place the prime rib roast on a roasting pan with the fat side up.

5Roast the prime rib in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).

6Continue roasting the prime rib for about 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium).

7Remove the prime rib from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.

8Slice the prime rib roast and serve hot with your favorite sides.
