Ingredients:

• 4 pounds prime rib roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, thyme, and paprika.
3. Rub the prime rib roast with olive oil, then generously season it with the spice mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
4. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan, bone side down. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to create a crust.
5. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
6. Remove the roast from the oven and tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
7. While the roast is resting, prepare the au jus. In a saucepan, combine the beef broth, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and reduce slightly for about 10 minutes.
8. Slice the prime rib and serve with the au jus on the side.
