Prime Rib Roast Recipe {with Dry Rib Rub}
My go-to method for cooking a perfect prime rib is this easy oven-roasted recipe! Of course, I like to change flavors up so I have certainly played with seasoning, or added things like horseradish and roasted garlic, etc. However, I always keep this dry rub for prime rib ready as it’s a no-fail favorite!
There are always plenty of choices when seasoning a prime rib roast, but the addition of ground sage in this dry rib rub is perfectly flavorful. So, be sure to add some sage to your spice selection! Sage. It’s not just for pork.
Pair your prime rib roast and your prime rib sandwiches with our creamy horseradish sauce and prime rib red wine au jus to make the meal even more sensational! You can also check out my page for all of your holiday dinner menu planning if you are wondering ‘What To Serve With Prime Rib‘!
We always use the drippings to make our fun and easy traditional Yorkshire puddings as well, making the perfect dinner roll for sopping up all of the juice from the prime rib. You certainly won’t want to leave any on the plate!
*Remember that cooking times will vary depending on your oven temperatures and the size of your prime rib portion, rely on your meat thermometer for removing the roast at an internal temperature of 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) and 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) when done resting.

Oven Roasted Prime Rib with Dry Rib Rub
Ingredients
- 5-6 lb prime rib roast (we used a boneless prime rib roast)
- 3 Tbsp salt (coarse ground)
- 2 Tbsp pepper (coarse ground)
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 Tbsp ground sage
- 1/2 Tbsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 Tbsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). Combine all of the herbs: salt, pepper, garlic powder, ground sage, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and dried oregano in a small bowl. Rub the prime rib roast with the seasoning blend, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
- Place the seasoned prime rib roast in a shallow roasting pan on a rack with the fat side facing upward. Sear the roast for 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 450 degrees F (232 degrees C), then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F (162 degrees C) and cook for an additional 45 minutes before starting to check the internal meat temperature.
- When the internal temperature (inserted into the thickest middle portion of the roast) reaches 120 degrees F (49 degrees C), remove the roast from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Then cover loosely with aluminum foil, forming a 'tent' over the roast while allowing your prime rib to rest for 20-30 minutes before serving. The internal temperature should be 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) when the roast has rested, before serving.
