How to Cook Rustic Ranch-Style Prime Rib Roast:
- Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Rub the olive oil over the entire surface of the prime rib. Then evenly coat it with the spice mixture.
- Place the prime rib in a roasting pan, bone-side down. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for about 2-2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (55°C) for medium-rare.
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving. The residual heat will continue to cook it slightly.
