Ingredients

1 (3 1/2-pound) beef rib roast, de-boned* and tied
1 jar peeled whole garlic cloves
1 packet Italian dressing mix
About 1 cup cracked black peppercorns

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Rinse the roast and pat dry. Bring roast to room temperature. Stud prime rib with garlic cloves by cutting slits into the meat and placing cloves inside. Rub Italian dressing mix all over roast. Pour black peppercorns into a shallow dish and dredge the roast in the pepper so that it's completely covered. Transfer to a roasting pan lined in aluminum foil.

Place roast in the oven and cook for 1 hour. Turn oven off and let meat sit in oven until meat reaches the desired degree of doneness, about 130 to 135 degrees F for medium rare. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

*Cook's Note: Have butcher remove ribs from roast and tie it.

Excellent Prime Rib and Super Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used fresh garlic cloves and used cracked pepper sparingly due to kids also eating this meal. I also let the roast... marinate over night in the oven. Super easy...do not be afraid to make this dish, my husband and 10 year old loved this!Read more

Substitution for jarred garlic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I don't have a jar of whole garlic cloves. How many fresh cloves of garlic could I use instead? Thanks!

Lose the peppercorn
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

With every bite, it was way to peppery. Also I followed the cook times and found the meat undercooked. It can be a... stressful experienced to invest in an expense cut of meat, have your guests awaiting this awesome treat and then have it turn out so-so. Maybe it was me, maybe it was the recipe, regardless, I don't think I would try this one again.Read more

Really good.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was nervous trying this out on a $50 roast. Make sure you leave it sitting in an unopened oven after cooking time has... finished for at least an hour and forty five minutes. (I think she left it for two hours on the show I saw.) Was really good, my husband is already asking for a repeat performance!Read more

Very easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a super easy and delicious recipe. I did stud my prime rib with garlic 24 hours prior. I added a half cup of beef... broth to the pan as the roast cooked so there would be so au jus. I would also cut the peppercorns to 1/2 cup.Read more

How Long Until It Reaches 135 degrees?
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I saw the show featuring this recipe and it sounds good. I thought I heard her say to leave it in the oven for two hours with... the heat turned off after the initial hour of cooking. It should say this in the recipe because if you didn't see the show, you might think it would not take very long to reach 135. The recipe should be clarified. Read more
