Prime Rib is a classic American dish that is perfect for special occasions such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, or a romantic dinner. It is a cut of beef from the rib section, known for its marbling, flavor, and tenderness. It can be roasted, grilled, or smoked, and is traditionally served with side dishes such as baked potatoes, roasted vegetables, or salad. When cooked properly, a prime rib roast can be a show-stopping centerpiece for any occasion. It is also a dish that requires some technique, but with a bit of patience, anyone can master it.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 500°F.
2.	In a small food processor, combine the garlic and black pepper until coarsely ground.
3.	Rub the rib roast with the olive oil and then coat it with the garlic-black pepper mixture.
4.	Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
5.	Cut the potatoes into wedges and place them around the roast.
6.	Roast the rib for 15 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.

9.	Serve with the potatoes.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Prime Rib is a good source of protein and minerals, such as iron and zinc. However, it is high in fat and calories, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
