Pepper-Crusted Prime Rib Recipe

🧂 Ingredients:
1.5–2 kg beef rib roast (prime rib)
2–3 tbsp coarse black pepper (lots, like in the photo)
2 tbsp salt
4–5 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
Fresh herbs (optional: rosemary, thyme)
🔪 Instructions:

1. Bring to room temp
   Take the beef out of the fridge 1–2 hours before cooking.
2. Season
   Mix salt, garlic, and olive oil.
   Rub all over the meat.
   Press a thick layer of crushed black pepper on the outside.
3. Sear (optional but recommended)
   Heat a pan with butter.
   Sear all sides for 2–3 minutes until browned.
4. Roast
   Preheat oven to 220°C for 15 minutes (to create crust).
   Then reduce to 160°C and cook:
   Rare: ~15 min per 500g
   Medium: ~20 min per 500g
5. Rest
   Let it rest 15–20 minutes before slicing (very important for juicy meat).
