Garlic Prime Rib

1 (10 lb.) prime rib roast

10 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbsp. olive oil

2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. pepper

2 tsp. dried thyme

Place roast in pan w/fatty side up. In small bowl, mix together garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Spread mixture over fatty layer of roast and let roast sit out until it's room temperature, no longer than 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Bake roast for 20 min. in preheated oven, then reduce temp. to 325 and continue roasting for 60-75 min. The internal temp. should be 145 for medium rare.

Allow roast to rest for 10-15 min. before carving to retain juices.
