Instructions:

Prime Rib Roast

1 (4 to 5 pound) prime rib roast
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons rosemary leaves
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon pepper

Place the roast in a shallow roasting pan and set aside 30 minutes to room temperature.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Combine remaining ingredients. Rub roast with mixture. Bake 15 minutes until the roast begins to brown.

Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and continue cooking for 15 to 18 minutes per pound for a boneless roast or 26 to 32 minutes per pound for a bone-in roast.

Remove from the oven and cool 10 minutes before carving.

Serves 8 to 12.
