Traditional Garlic and Herb Crusted Prime Rib Roast

- 2-3 hours before you want to begin cooking, take the roast out of the fridge and place it on a cutting board at room temperature.

- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

- To prepare roast, remove excess fat from the bottom of the roast, and then trim the layer of fat from the top side (leaving a little fat is fine).

- In a bowl, mix the garlic and chopped herbs with salt and pepper.

Add the olive oil and mix until combined.

- Evenly apply garlic herb rub on all sides of the roast.

- Tie roast with string and insert a bay leaf underneath each string across the top.

- Roast until the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees F for medium-rare, about 2 1/2 hours.

If you prefer medium, take the roast out when the thermometer reads 130 degrees F.

- Let roast rest for 10 minutes before carving.
