Prime Rib Roast Beef With Fresh Garlic and Rosemary

Rita~'s Note:

I got the roasting idea from Paula Deen. When I first saw this way of cooking I said to myself "Get out of here"! BUT this is great for putting in the oven and going to a movie, spending time with guests, preparing the rest of the meal, or just you time. I changed the time to what worked for me. Seasoned to the way we like it. With lots of Fresh Garlic and Rosemary. I made boneless because that is what was for sale. And makes for easy slicing! The cooking time is the actual time roast is in oven while on. Add 3 hours for resting in cooling oven. Oven Door MUST stay closed.

I'll add to the 5 star ratings here. Did this for Christmas day Rib Eye Roast - 10lbs. Everyone raved about it. Even my parents who don't eat a lot of red meat went back for seconds. Finished it off by deglazing the pan and making a Cabernet reduction. This was a real winner and I will come back to it again to be sure. Thanks for sharing this one Rita.

Perfection! I was really nervous about preparing a prime rib roast, but full my full faith into this recipe, knowing that Paula Deen never screws anything up. This was our Christmas dinner entree and everyone ooohed over it. Thanks Rita!

First time a roast every turned out just right! I'll always use this method in the future. I used Herb-Crusted Prime Rib With Red Wine Sauce for an accompanying red wine sauce - perfectt combination. Thaks for posting.
