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.

2nd Year, by request
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I cooked this recipe last year 2007 for Christmas dinner and has been ask to do it again by a very picky group of people. I... usually brought a Prime Rib from Out Back every year and after trying this recipe I no longer spend all that money. It a great recipe. This year I will try it with bone in roast, I can't wait.Read more

Challenged Cook
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

For those of us who are cooking challenged, purchasing a eighty dollar piece of meat was quite a scary proposition. But... after buying a meat thermometer and all of the ingredients, my confidence increased. This was so indubitably delicious I had to share the recipe with every one that I knew.Read more

Friends and Family Favorite!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I watched Sandra make this recipe in 2006 and, looking for something new and different for Christmas dinner, decided to give... it a try. Not only is it easy but it's absolutely wonderful! Easy to fix, quick to bake, and delicious to eat. In fact, I'm making it again this year. I'm planning to cut back on the black pepper, though, as it's a bit spicy for the little ones.Read more

Easy & Awesome Tasting
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The herb mixture along with the peppercorn makes this. I cooked it by charing the spices on a black iron skillet first, then... placed in the oven. I finished it with Au Jus- using some of the pan drippings--Awesome. It's not exactly like Sandra would have done, but so simple, so easy and so awesome tasting. It was better than most steaks I cook at home. Humm, there's an idea for my next steak. Thanks for your inspiration Sandra. You Rule!Read more
