Prime rib always makes an impression on a holiday dinner table. But it's actually easy to prepare. This roast is wonderfully flavored with lots of fresh herbs.—Jennifer Dennis, Alhambra, California

Fantastic!!! Then again it takes effort to make a bad prime rib, but this is an excellent recipe. The herbs definately added to the beef flavor and didn't over power it. I made it with the Italian Roasted Potatoes. Both were wonderful.

Every holiday the family comes here for dinner and we have standing rib roast. I must say planning on ½ lb. of beef per person is hardly generous. The beef cooked at 325 without any herbs, etc. has the full beef flavor we prefer, and as for the gravy incorporating the browned drippings in the bottom of the pan with flour and salt then adding the water needed from drained cooked potatoes (for mashed) plus every drop of juice that accumulates while the beef is resting is a full beef flavor gravy. Also pull the beef from the oven at 135° for medium rare. It is all beef falvor with no herbs, etc. Simpler, too.

Prepared this dish for a family dinner and it was a smash. Next time we got together someone actually bought a standing rib roast so I could make it again. Delish!

Haven't made it yet. Sounds good except for the garlic. Garlic permeates everything. I like to taste the food w/ seasonings not garlic. I always skip the garlic.
