Ingredients:
1 bone-in prime rib roast (6–8 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Garlic cloves (optional)
Instructions:
Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 1–2 hours before cooking.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Rub all over with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper. Press garlic cloves into the surface of the roast if using.
Place the roast, bone-side down, in a roasting pan.
Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes to develop a flavorful crust.
